Hi 47806

Good to see Crick Road is back from the dark side of storage!
Notice you have a Bachmann 66068,I cant find anywhere where you can buy them from in Britain at the moment,do they sell them in Canada?

Hi

That's a really nice layout you have there mate!
A good starter layout,the choice of having a diesel depot on a higher level than the main track really adds another dimension to the layout.Keep up the good work!

Lewis,

Hi Thank for the comment 47806 :) This afternoon I made the surface for the scrap loading point,i used ready mixed filler and once dry will be painted with acrylics to create a muddy looking surface.The finished affect will use browns and blacks/greys to look like concrete which has been worn away t...

By a sound fitted class 20 from Hattons and buy a railfreight/br blue body and swap the bodys,so you have a sound bachmann 20 with a realistic colour scheme,ebay sell class 20 body shells,have a look.

Hi My 66200 which I bought second hand for christmas,fitted with a bachmann decoder,worked well for a few days,now however,it doesnt.It stops,starts and then when It does get going stops and doesnt start for minutes afterwards.I cant be the track as my other locos work fine? Does anyone know what is...

Hi once again Here is a few pictures and a video.The track has been altered recently,I have added another siding which will become a scrapyard! It will be a loading terminal,this will add extra operating potential as I can have an 08 shunting wagons to and from the terminal.Also as my old hornby poi...

no further updates until Saturday.. My question for now is, How do I paint 25 metres of track in a relatively short space of time.. What is the rush? Quality railway modelling takes time to complete sucessfully,painting with enamel paint and a ooo size paintbrush is time consuming but pays off,it l...

Looking good mate
Its about time a large modern image oo railway came to the forum,I will be following this topic with interest.

Hi

This looks interesting,a 2 level oo gauge modern image layout with hidden tracks
But I would add some wood supports to the card which supports the higher level track as trains/ballast will add significant weight.

Kind Regards

Thats a very impressive layout you have there!
The rebuild was the right choice to make,what an improvement.
Keep us posted.

Hi again Nice to see some new pictures of Aston Barr.You could model the Scalescenes structure as an abandoned railway which has been partially demolished.Or as a small 1 platform terminus station which would carry on off the board in real life.Do you know what I mean?.Its suberb and breaks the layo...

Very sad to hear that the layout is no more :( That tunnel looks very well built,I hope that can be salvaged, I will be interested to see the Chufferlands Holiday Park Mk2 :D A little tip though... Use Peco Streamline points in your rebuild,the amount of hassle I have had with hornby set track is un...
