Lordsbridge MK3 a new beginning
Re: Lordsbridge
Here's another terrier for you:

Nice shots too - I especially like the last one with the sun glinting off the rails.

Re: Lordsbridge
well carried out a little work today on the layout final got a signal box for the level crossing section, its an older hornby plastic kit but got it for a fiver from a local model shop looks ok not the greatest model in the world but its at the back of the layout so it's not that noticeable.
also purchased some skaledale granite wall, which i have used around the church and have finally put the gravestones onto the layout.
more updates soon

Re: Lordsbridge
That is looking good!
Re: Lordsbridge
I agree!
What's wrong with the signal box? It looks fine to me. Ditto the church. Will you be adding some 'grass' effect?

I know what it's like. I'm just redoing my hill/tunnel cover now because it didn't look right.
Great layout though!

Re: Lordsbridge
well had the day off work and was at a lose end so decided to make a start on some of the greenery on Lordsbridge to be honset this has been something i have been putting off rather like the ballasting of the track as i'm not overly confindent that i could make it look good, but anyway i bit the bullet and gave it a go!!
i've included a couple of pics,
i think it looks quite good thou also bear in mind it was only a test, i'd would love some input from you guy's good or bad, let me know what ya think?
cheers

Re: Lordsbridge
Is that hanging basket lining Darren?
The long shot looks much better than the close up, apply the three foot rule and it works really well! Overhead shot looks like that little hut has been swamped by brambles, as if no one has been in there for years...cue scary music and a group of teenage campers, Spielberg will be knocking on your door!!
Are you going to move the tunnel or scrap it all together?
The rest of the layout is looking great, like what you've done around the church and that signal box is good too especially for that bargain basement price, run some ivy up it or something, it'll fit right in.
Cheers

Re: Lordsbridge
thanx graymee, yeah it is hanging basket lining, and after getting a few of the familys opinon as well they agree with you,so i'm thinking that i will redo, however the basket lining did work well outside the goods shed, i'll post a pic soon, as the tunnel, this is turning into the bain of my life, i still plan on having it on lordsbridge but i just seem to have trouble making it look any good, but am starting on it again, so hopefully it will be better this time, also i have just ordered some castle ruins for the summit of my hill, so it can look out over the rest of the layout

Re: Lordsbridge
I'm sure you'll get the tunnel right this time mate!
Heres how I do it and although its not finished the current progress is on my layout thread:
1 - Glue the tunnel portals down in their position
2 - Put some profile boards up where the tunnel will be, this will make it all far easier in the long run.
3 - Using plywood or hardboard cut a square piece with a hole at the bottom big enough to span the tracks and let your locos through. Like this:

(Notice the plywood one in the corner, thats the main one)
4 - Repeat the proccess making the boards smaller (like detailed in that picture)
5 - Now cover the whole thing in a bubble wrap sheet and either staple or sellotape it to the sides and tunnel portals.
6 - Papermache over the bubble wrap.
7 - Once the paper mache is dry plaster over that using plaster cloth
8 - Apply scatter.
Thats just the way I do it, thought I'd mention it. You'll get it right this time i'm sure!
