Hi all. Just thought I'd pop a couple of recent pics on seeing as I don't really post as often as I used to. http://www.fikasfook.co.uk/v3/120.jpg http://www.fikasfook.co.uk/v3/114.jpg Just on with more woodwork at the moment making board number four. Only about 5 or so more to go!!! The pics are on...

Hi Dan. Have been making reasonably good progress the past month or so and when I get round to it I shall post some pics of the current state of it. Couple of samplers.. http://www.fikasfook.co.uk/v3/108.jpg http://www.fikasfook.co.uk/v3/103.jpg More to follow soon. Jas... :D

Hmm page 111 of a certain publication looks mighty familiar...
Nice one Jim...

Some of those harburn buildings can look really quite good I think. But also some look quite clunky to.
That being said that small hut on your layout looks just right, so bit of a good find there squire...

Hi Jim, surprised myself with the change to! Going to be a while till anything is running due to lack of funds at the moment but going to continue on the woodwork front for now. And Pete, surprisingly my eyes have adjusted fine, the track just looks right to me. Hands need time though!!! :shock: Che...

Laid the track out on the baseboard stage 1 this evening. Not powered yet though. http://www.fikasfook.co.uk/v3/032.jpg And again to show where the raised section is going to separate the board and cover the loops. http://www.fikasfook.co.uk/v3/033.jpg Until next time Jas... :D

PNP, had the start of the track delivered yesterday so tonight I'll be measuring up the layout for clearances and everything else so expect to see a track plan of sorts within the next couple of days.. Going to start with a twin dog bone to get going then go from there once I get used to it all. Goo...

Point rodding is looking good Jim. Suitably dirty I like the small touches like the speed restriction etches.
Top notch pal...
Jas.

Cheers Jim, 'hmmm on the other side, strong the force is'

Point taken squire, but I didn't say I'm going to make kits in this scale did I?

Hi Paul. Yup certainly a big decision, but the right one I feel. Stock, track? What's that :lol: I have half a circle and a few straights plus one res liveried guv to measure clearances with and that is it!! Going to order more track this week to see what fits where, also purchasing a nice blue clas...

Hi all. Just a brief update on the state of things. Well, I have four times the space I previously had. Nope, the loft hasn't grown, I have decided to scrap the start I've just made and go to N gauge! I know it's a word change for someone as ham fisted as me but my love for the long trains has won o...

Hi all. Ben a bit distracted this past few days, had a busy weekend. Jiu jitsu grading on Saturday, family birthday party the same night. Feeling ill Sunday morning, it shopping in the afternoon.. so not conducive to modelling progress. Just ordered some track tonight so when that arrives I shall st...

The natural light makes the colours look so much better don't you think. Give it a scale background and it would look quite realistic.
Keep up the good work Jim..
Jas.....

Coming along nicely Geoff. Looking forward to seeing how much the water will improve that scene. Should really bring it to life. Also I shall steal the method you use if I like it! :lol: I've got my canal to do soon and when I get to the further stages I'll have a substantial river to create. So I'l...

Cheers for the comments chaps. Glad you're liking the signal box, hoping to get on with it this evening. Have got a few more creature comforts to add to it yet also. :D Wood burning stove, tv and few other bits. Hood-dale companies look after their staff!! Jim, those frames are most certainly are fr...
