    I'd steer away from black for the fascia, I used to use it but found the border between scenery and edge too harsh. I now use a mid grey/green colour that complements the foreground, and the effect is far less harsh. An easy way to see its effect without painting is using coloured paper from artshops/staples etc. The rock rubble and wall looks particularly effective.

    View of the Yard

    PMP commented on Buckjumper's blog entry in Buckjumper's Blog

    Rice's Cornfield Street was the original starting point for Albion Yard, so I can understand why you've used it. I can recommend the mock up and moving things about too, I still do it having got a workable positioning of the buildings, but not yet reached the final solution.

    I think I saw him rather than heard (this time), him at Alley Palley this year. I recognise him as he used to come into the shop I worked at, and seen and heard him many times on the southern circuit. He does appear to know his stuff too, not just random transmissions. If you want to get a good look at a layout just follow him, ten paces behind.

    Re the close coupling on Bawdsey I've used 'Dingham' couplings on both 105/108 units, they are unobtrusive and you can get a very close join that'll work across B5/6 reverse curves on a crossover.

    If you're using the Modelex window and door set, unfortunately the door isn't a direct fit into the Ratio frames, not yet worked mine out but just a heads up for you

    Jim, how do you know what you're measuring, is at its correct temperature, non shrunk/stretched length to be measured?

    Not as far as I know re the curved window doors Craig. All three versions I have are the square corner so I wasn't aware that Hornby had done the round corner when I did the prototype. Ta for the heads up, I'll have to mention it to him to add on. I agree the opening door 'furniture' does need removing too, I noted that it was obtrusive once the Shawplan windows were in, and also removed the whole of the Hornby glazing which as you say means refitting the internal boxes and details. Did the rest of the glazing fit ok? I'm assuming all Hornby have done is change the door molding ...

    Very very good, I'd say it's better than a lot of magazine US layouts shown. In the track plan it clearly has 'play/operating' value, without being too busy like a lot of the US articles depict. The color looks well ballanced and homogenous too.

    I wouldn't worry about it personally, it'll polish out.

    Nice one al, makes a change from chockbox BLT's, and the code100 isn't apparent as such either, which is a bit clever.

    Don't breath on the grills afterwards ... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/blog/17/entry-3085-shawplan-extreme-etches-cl37-details/ You'll need to warn anyone not to put their fat fingers near it, not that it happened to me .... Interested to see you've used varnish for some fixing, what type?

    Brassmasters and 51L have etched handwheels in their ranges which may suit. Have you made jigs for forming the pipework and step/roof handrails?
