Hi Josh

Excellent work mate. You have really produced a splendid layout which I'm sure will gt even better as you add more and more detail. What is the next item on the agenda? Buildings? Background scenery? Track-side features (line-side huts, etc)?

Cheers

Tim

Is that a hall class i spot? if so do you like it? im looking into getting one

joshs · Post by **joshs** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 9:45 pm

thanks for the replys.
infrontcat: the next item on the agenda is to finish the viaduct and surrounding area.

jack: thanks for the reply keep you updated.

redline: it is a castle class still very nice loco and i quite fancy a hall as well would look nice next to the castle on my layout. but the castle does run nice its a honby model of cadbury castle.

is it me, or is the top right of the bricked up section of the viaduct not completly bricked?

it looks very good, i think the first picture gives off great atmosphere!!!

joshs · Post by **joshs** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 7:52 pm

thanks for the reply the bricked up arch does have a bit missing i think it works quite well , blinking mice get every where

i agree the first picture really does give atmosphere the viaduct is now weathered including with added bird muck and the gap at the end of the viaduct is now being filled by a strachbuilt bridge with peco top edgeing rails the viaduct and the bridge has been made and weathered by my dad so all credits go to him.
