New Railway Modellers Forums

Same here nick,my earliest memories of trains is seeing 37s and 56s at Warrington Bank Quay and Arpley Yard,that was about 1999 so I decided to model the railway I have seen so far in my lifetime-Hence Arpley Street.

Hello After working on the layout for most of my spare time recently I thought it is time for an operating session Here are some pictures showing the trains that ran this morning. 66200 on a long Enterprise comprising of 2 PCAs, 2 TTAs, 1 VKA,1CEA and 2 HAAs http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae331/...

A good plank though!
The track weathering looks rather good and convincing.
Kind Regards

Another NSE layout,but this time on the other side of the world,this one looks interesting.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or cover the point motors with woodland scenics clump foliage?

Adding buildings can make a flat railway board look much more realistic,placed at the side of roads but you can also add hills by making card formers,filing them with news paper and then add a layer of newspaper taped to the formers and them cover it with plaster cloth before adding scenic scatters ...

After reading throught this topic I must congratulate you as you have built a very fine model of Horsted Keynes

And Happy New Year as well!
