  1. Quick progress update showing the planned building arrangement across the rear of the layout. The first photo shows the left hand side of the layout, with existing buildings slowly developing to completion. The second photo shows the centre section of the layout with building fronts mocked up. The gap in the centre will be occupied by a chimney, which mindful of the comments by Iain Rice in 'Creating Cameo Layouts' will not extend above the height of the backscene. The third photo shows the right hand end of the layout. The warehouse will have a Victorian wrought iron style canopy covering the siding for part of it's length with a full height brick wall at the end. The stone building is a water tower which is awaiting a top tank. Around the buildings will be glimpses of sky.

  5. The loading bay canopy to act as a left hand view blocker has now been build from styrene sheet and section, although the roof still requires painting. It has been temporarily installed for clearance tests. Brick painting on the three storey factory continues and a section of 'sky' has been installed in an attempt to add some depth to this part of the scene. Next stage is to formalise ideas for the centre rear of the layout.

  8. This week I has been doing mainly walls & wagons. The first sections of the wall dividing the private siding from the wharf line have been built, although the brick pillars still require capping stones. Unfortunately the camera has revealed the bricks on the pillar on the right are slightly out of alignment - think some creeping ivy is needed to disguise this. An LMS 'fitted' van built from one of the late Frank Titmus's 'Freightman' kits, has had the lettering completed. It is now awaiting some light weathering as it would have been comparatively new during the layouts mid-1930s period.
