The cheapest pine studs I could find to make the frame
The cheapest internal door I could find to lay on top of the frame as support for the top board
A 2400mm X 1200mm sheet of MDF for the top board
Some pieces of particle board which I had in the loft
Two lengths of 90 degree PVC angle moulding
Some thin timber strips from an old venetian blind
Some leftover screws from various other projects
A tin of cheap grey paint (the shade is not right but it was cheap)
I'll post individual photos of the buildings, etc., with some details of the materials and methods that I can remember. All these little railway builds tend to progress with glacial slowness, so I often look at something and have no idea how I made it.
Everything on there is purely from my imagination/vague memories and does not purport to represent anything real.
Looking at some pictures of Didcot Yard in the UK, I thought that some of the buildings there were similar to those on my layout. So, on a whim, I named it Didcot Yard, using the old excuse that it is a heritage railway so anything can turn up on there.
Nothing is fixed, ballasted or landscaped as I may decide to rearrange it in whole or part to accommodate new bits.
Now, fingers crossed that the image will attach and hit the Submit button...
