The Llanwyke station platforms now have a bit more life in them with the addition of a few Preiser figures: http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/Clifton009_2007/Board%202/B2StationPeople1_zpse324824c.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/Clifton009_2007/Board%202/B2StationPeople2_zps093a716...

The shops are excellent. Love the detailing.

Are you sure this is in N!

I love the carriages: The mat paint works well, and I see you've picked out door handles and hinges. Interesting that the second class compartments only have windows to one side - any idea why that was? Out of curiosity what couplers are you using there? Great to see an update btw :) Thanks Souther...

First update for ages! Found time to do a few bits. I’ve finally finished the tunnel area on board 1. Not bad considering it was started in 2007! It was just one of those jobs I kept putting off. It’s finished in a similar manner to the slate mine area on board 2 using actual slate chippings, smashe...

I've just caught up with your last couple of updates Jason. Excellent modelling as always and distinctively recognisable as your 'style'. I like the little corner unit: It's almost a diorama in it's own right :) Thanks. I was thinking it was like a diorama as I was building it! Its looking really g...

Thanks. Here's the latest progress on the B3&4 joiner: http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/Clifton009_2007/Board%203/B34Joiner4.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/Clifton009_2007/Board%203/B34Joiner3.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/Clifton009_2007/Board%203/B34Joiner2.jpg

Just caught up on this thread again.

Fantastic scratch building.

The detailing on the bridges is excellent.

The wiring is completed and it works :d I have used the Board 3/4 joiner as the main hub for the wiring. This did mean running a lot of wire as it's some way from the main Model D controller. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/Clifton009_2007/Board%203/B3JoinerWiring.jpg http://i268.photobucket...

Well I'm back on with this now after a Winter interlude for no specific reason! I guess I just got out of the habbit. Went to Narrow Gauge North in Leeds a few weeks ago to get some inspiration. I've made a Board 3/4 joining section: http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/Clifton009_2007/Board%203/...

Not much progress over the last few weeks. I’ve given the main line a good clean and dusted Boards 1 & 2. The only addition to Board 4 has been a few trees. The trees are the same construction method as previous ones. The trunks are real twigs with lichen glued on, then pasted with PVA and cover...

Nice work on Russell and can't wait to meet you in person next year at NG North Cliff :D will you let me look at your layout and will you look at my layout? Thanks sir haydn. I won't be showing the layout as it's not built for transportation! (Also it won't fit in my car!). If I did transport it ab...

Hi sir haydn, The plastic kits from PD are fine. I've built loads of them since starting the layout 4 years ago, but I have to say I wouldn't tackle any brass kits. I'm fine with plastic & white metal. It's worth bearing in mind that you can easily make adjustments / modifications to plastic kit...

I’ve decided to make more effort with the loco kits I build! Although the construction of the Russell kit was fine, I wasn’t happy with the paint job & detailing. Initially I was just going to add name & works plates, but after seeing some other models I decided to add a few more detail bits...

I might go to NG North, when is next years and it's too bad your layout isn't able to have a double ended fairlie on it. Hi sir haydn, NGN 2012 is Saturday 10th March. Just one day next year for some reason? The corners are a bit too tight for long locos. A Double Fairlie would also be a bit big fo...

Good to see you're still doing narrow gauge Cliffton. Is it okay if I add you to my buddy list, I hope to see you at next year's Expo NG because I want to show you my work with my layout which will be a mix of Ffestiniog, Corris, Talyllyn, and Welsh Highland :D. Hi Sir Haydn, Yes no problem. I don'...
