New Railway Modellers Forums

Hi All, Well it's been a while, but I'm back with an update. I now have a complete loop all around the garage which includes 3 drop down sections to improve space... Take a look... 30s video of something actually moving on my layout! 1 minute video showing the whole layout ***Don't watch if prone to...

Just wanted to say you two are creating an inspirational thread here. I've not been active on the forum for a while due to other (pyro) commitments. But I do check this thread every other day and although I don't comment every time. I just wanted to say well done, keep it up, looking good, great wor...

By the way, I didn't mean that in a threatening way, I just meant if you want to see my live to a ripe old age and thereby keep you feb with updates please help me out. Not help me out or else...?!

Sounds like a nasty fall, can't find a smiley for ooofff. Well after the capers of beaver rail et al and my rantings about smelly people in York. I've managed to get some modelling done, so here is an update for you. The engine shed I picked up for £15 from York (Pikestuff). I think it's pretty sim...

Nope, I'm a peasant and don't have anything so smart as that...

I love your first picture it's going to make a great model http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v417/sanctuary77/Matts%20Layout/ModelQuarry2.jpg How've you done that? Or should I say what have you done to that picture? You've made it look like, well, a model! Can you do that with the rest and then I d...

I love the fencing against the back scene, that really works well and frames the whole scene.

Maybe someone should knock up a diagram in Google Sketch?!

Yeah, why can you tell?

The blue sky on the background took forever to get right!

I downloaded the engine shed from BeaverRail?

Hi Mark :) Have you got a shot of what the shed area will look like, i.e. have you got a design for the shed yet or are you pondering a scratch build? I visited the site in Feb 2005, Foster Yeoman were great and organised a tour round for me and my Dad (pictured as scale) when I told them what I wa...

Sounds great! We need to set-up a 'buy Tim a camera fund'

Another small update: Concrete base is now going in for the engine shed and the quarry basin is coming together quite nicely. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/mark_brody/March-April%2008/100_6592.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/mark_brody/March-April%2008/100_6591.jpg http://i142.ph...

You really have been busy! Are all the points being controlled or just the ones with the point motors on top of the board?

Good work so far!

Following the deafly silence of 'the death of Percy part deux' I thought I should post an update rather than another attack on Percy. It's hardly worth me showing you 'the aftermath' is it? Don't want to offend anyone :cry: Anyway, never mind; 'rocket powered percy' is going on U tube instead. We've...
