Brilliant Mark, absolutely brilliant. So well thought out, constructed superbly and displayed on here in an excellent way, I really like how you write up your work and the photos are fantastic. Inspiring modelling if ever i've seen it and i can't wait for more. cheers Graham.

Looking really good Simon, The cable detail in the tunnel is excellent. Graham.

Another excellent Layout you've produced David, tick's all the boxes for the present day scene. Good luck with fiddle yard. Graham.

Really coming together nicely Simon, Video's looking good. wish i'd done the slave point on my layout, very clever indeed. Graham.

Looks really nice Tom, much better shade of green. Graham.

Your work with plasticard is superb simon, I'm very envious of what you have produced. Excellent work. Graham.

Video's looking good David, Its only just occurred to me that your layout would be perfect for the faller road system to complement your tram. Graham.

Cheers Lee, appreciate the comment, Its getting there slowly and still lots to do. Graham.

Very impressed Pete, looks to be something fantastic in the making. Graham.

Looking really good Tom, you have the patience of a saint with all that micro strip cladding. Graham.

Hello, Some small jobs have been completed over the last week or so, first to be completed was the remaining ballasting outside the Mail terminal and also a small section behind the fuelling point. Fencing has been added to the retaining walls, fuelling point and also the mail depot, various painting and weathering done. Built a Hurst PCV thats been sitting on the bench for far to long, just needs to be painted now. Whilst doing this i also shortened the gap between my mail vans, simple little task of removing the coupling, loose the spring and glue the rapido straight to the bogie but only one end of the vehicle, that way when there coupled together theres still a spring on one side for a bit of play. Couple of new additions to the layout, 2 Dapol 86's, and very nice there are to. Cheers Graham.

Fantastic trackwork, i really love the flowing pointwork, will be following this with interest. Graham.

Cheers Scott, I think i should have done this in a layout topic from the start but never mind. Graham

Hello everyone. Have been completing quite a few boring jobs of late like electrics etc and one job that got finished today was the lighting pelmet. Its nothing fancy, just a length of ply with some bracing a fluorescent light and bob's your uncle, I have built it so it slides in position either end of the layout using the frame that supports the facia. Other news has been purchase of a Branor Systems Kam truck, (no connection just very happy customer) What a great little piece of kit, I have always wanted to see the layout from the drivers perspective and this is a brilliant way to achieve it, only down side is that i have found loads of work needed to tidy the lineside up. I'l post some youtube clips once i've worked out how to upload them. Lastly i would like some advice, I would like to paint the front facia and lighting pelmet but am really unsure of what colour to use, have you any suggestions? Thanks for reading Graham. Kam truck.
