Having read most of the posts in this new Scalescenes area of the forum, it is obvious that several people have their own ideas about what kits they would like to see John create next.

Therefore, and with the kind permission of John, I thought we could get these ideas into one place.

I'll start the ball rolling! I would love to see some modern industrial units (along the lines of the Bachmann 44-049) as I would like to place 3 or 4 of these together to form an industrial estate on Chadwood but I certainly won't be paying £25-£30 each for them! Having seen how many modern layouts there are on here, I am sure they would be quite a popular download.

I have thought about scratchbuilding some, maybe even using John's low relief warehouses at each end to give me a start, but I don't really think I have the necessary skills.

Anyway, what would you like to see next?

I spotted on of those pesky seagulls during my trip to Aberdeen Kirkhill:

Good luck for tomorrow guys. Hope you have a great weekend and very few problems.

Dave

Can't wait to see the layout again next week. It's changed so much since I saw it October at Mickleover.

Hopefully I'll remember the camera for a few shots if you don't mind?

Dave

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately their website seems to be down at the moment, but I keep an eye out for them.

The layout's looking great. I saw it at Mickleover last year and will see it again at Derby in May. It will be interesting to see the changes.

Your fuelling area looks great. What have you used to create the striplights? Are they scratch built or off the shelf?

Dave

What an awesome layout!

I especially love the beach scene, with the paths leading down from the tracks above. Reminds me of a few holidays I have done in Cornwall.

Great to see a layout with a real mix of eras running on it too, and none of them look out of place.

Truly inspiring. Many thanks for sharing it.

Dave

I made them from the "Sale" signs you see on lamposts, or House sale signs, really easy to cut with a knife, light weight and seem to have that metal modern corrigated look, plus there free if you find them...!

Your kidding me ??? They look great. They have a real corrugated look to them, that's why I thought that they are maybe plasticard or something. I'll have to be on the look out for For Sale signs now. lol

Gordon

I've just added your layout to my watch list. It's truly inspirational!

Thanks for the "step-by-step" guide to you way of ballasting. I may well give that a go when I'm ready.

Hi Leon

Your layout is coming along great. Love the industrial units. What are they made from? Embossed Plasticard? Whatever colour you paint them I'm sure they will look great, although I can't help but think they look a bit B&Q-ish so maybe orange?

The detailing you have added like the CCTV cameras really improves the overall look of the place.

Great job mate,

Dave

Great looking layout. My 8 year old lad would love me to put a football pitch on my layout, I'm sure.

Can't wait for the 500 chinese spectators to arrive! lol

I think you have the same bus as me, the Trent Barton 92 to Derby? I also have the matching return bus to Ripley.

Keep up the good work.

Dave

Your layout is looking great Stuart, especially the red ballast. I may need some tips on the gradients you have created. I must have a full read of your thread again.
