WARVAL
Hello heres some pictures of my n gauge layout WARVAL ive been building it some 3 years now fitting it between other diy jobs. I've started to extend it since I moved into my new home and my wife insisted I had the spare room. She was more than happy with her garden and sun room. a fair trade I think. more pictures to come soon.

Re: WARVAL
A few more of early WARVAL. The layout is a few years old it was started because my good mate Ed made the first building out of 2 offcuts of timber at work. I thought hmmm a church then came the station and sheds and that was that. the layout was born. I'm aiming for a small town near the coast with a depot/yard and turntable. it will be a circular layout about 9ft x 7ft. please comment any input would be great good or bad.

Re: WARVAL
Looking good so far and looking forward to watching the extension take shape. I'm jealous of your trade-off
Re: WARVAL
Thank you bombadillic for you nice comments. I will post weekly as I go from now on knowing someone is waiting to see what happens next.
Re: WARVAL
Am interested in how you did the bridge supports - DAS modelling clay or what? (Any stage progress shots perhaps please?)
Re: WARVAL
Hello ex-pat yes it was das air dry clay. For the inner support its just 2x1 timber then a coat of pva glue. Whilst the glue was still wet I applied little blobs at a time and moulded it to shape. Allowed to dry then marked out with a pencil and scribed with a scalpel. Thank you for your interest.
Re: WARVAL
Thanks J28MAKER - will bear that in mind when I get round to mine!

Absolutely! Keep them comingJ28MAKER wrote:Thank you bombadillic for you nice comments. I will post weekly as I go from now on knowing someone is waiting to see what happens next.
Re: WARVAL
Nice looking work going on there J28maker. Some of those shots give a great look of a busy industrial town served by the railway. Some traffic and a population would just tie the whole thing off.
Keep the posts coming though, I'm enjoying what I've seen so far.

Re: WARVAL
I like this very much. The builder's yard complete with silo set in a residential/urban setting is particularly effective. And the first two photos portray an excellent merging of the urban and rural edge-of-town scene. Top work I reckon. Thanks for the photos.
Re: WARVAL
Thanks for your comments folks it really makes it worthwhile when someone likes your work. As for the layout I will be adding traffic and people I'm just getting the track down first. since I moved into my new home last November I haven't as yet ran a single loco. I'm aiming for Wednesday night. since it will be a special occasion I'm torn between running TORNADO/ NIGEL GRESLEY OR MALLARD any preferences?? first response wins. (this is not a definite tho, depends if work gets in the way) sadly as for the backdrop to the layout I had to remove it as it was damage when a leaking ceiling ruined it. I'm in two minds to replace it or stick with neutral blue. ps what format do I have to use for adding a video??? and what software if any i.m using windows 10. tried to add one but said it won't allow mov? I drive plant and model rail I don't do computer jargon so be gentle

Re: WARVAL
Pop a video on YouTube and then add the link here. Simplest (and only way?) to do it.J28MAKER wrote: what format do I have to use for adding a video???
