Hi,

Great to see the layout developing - your plans for the rails looks fiddley!

All the best,
James

Hi,

Great to see you are having fun with the layout - I look forward to seeing the continuing development of the layout.

The underground train looks great, you've done a good job with that.

I've taken the liberty of changing the thread title!

All the best,
James

Thanks, As I said in my first post - I was unsure what to do with this experiment when finished, but since there are always new ideas in my mind I think I'm going to offer this layout for sale. My local shop will kindly put it on display but I thought there was no harm in offering it on here first. ...

HaHa!

Everyone notices the Henry - he is not as colourful this time of year.

I also need to be careful whats hanging on the washing line when I take photos out there.

Thanks for the comment.

Hi all, Very sorry its been so long since my last update but there was not much progress until I freed up some time recently. I've been looking to get some of my side projects tidied up - with the idea of selling some to generate funds. So I thought this deserved some effort on the final push to the...

Thanks chaps.

My one regret is not having the foresight to hide the kadee magnets. It could be rectified at a later date - but not before Saturday!!!!

Hi all, I'm afraid I've been away from the forum for a while feverishly preparing Bratton Lane for its first exhibition on Saturday in Minehead. So I'm afraid this is a shameless publicity bump with a few update pictures of the recent detailing: First here are the 'grafters' grabbing a break: http:/...

Seconded!

I haven't been on here for a few weeks and the progress was a real eye-opener. Every layout/project is another step down the road towards better work - judging by this the next project can't come too soon!

All the best,
James

Hi,

I always enjoy your projects - so I will follow with interest.

I too am creating an N 'roundy' in a 3' x 2' space - N is great for this - as you are showing with this.

Hi all, Managed to make some progress over the last week so here is an update. I plaster bandaged in the week as I didn't have enough time last weekend. I then painted the white landscape with my wicks brown tester pot. I was going to use normal scatter for the basic ground cover as I thought all my...

Hi,

Looking good - the more you cover the board with landscape the better it looks.

I think the hill blends pretty well with the back-scene now.

+1. I have tried it in the past but comes out in chunks! Do I just need a better knife? I use the kitchen knife! - As if little white balls everywhere didn't annoy the wife enough! (there is definitely a joke in there). Try not to cut off too much in one go - Its still rough, but the plaster bandag...

Hi guys, Thanks for the comments - I'll probably wait until the weekend for plaster bandaging - It will be warmer, lighter and easier during the day! Oh - it was messy - I just didn't photograph until I'd hoovered! My wife is still finding the odd polystyrene snow ball- and will probably continue to...

Hi all, The PVA has set and I managed to get some time to carve the blocks over the weekend. Henry the hoover was on hand to combat the mini snow storm! I take the previous point on the height of the 'grass' against the wall but for the moment I like this: http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm76/tap...

Nice.

Looking forward to seeing it on the layout.
