Kirley Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Filling those right angles is always difficult especially trying to disguise the fact that the track is passing a corner. I used a Hornby church and trees, lots of them. I also tried out one of Weshty gates, it was fun– I did put it the right way up but at Halloween the local youths decided to turn it upside down (a local custom) –honest!

Sulzer201 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Looking great Kirley. The Church is brilliant and that gate is wonderful too. Is the fence from Peco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirley Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Looking great Kirley. The Church is brilliant and that gate is wonderful too. Is the fence from Peco? No, I find Peco is a nightmare to put together. These are Ratio fences which come in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirley Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Just finished, if you ever are, another scenic section. This time I wanted to do a farm scene and I squeezed one in alongside the main railway line. There's Eamonn after delivering the Christmas mail You note the Trains don't faze the cattle, they are well used to them passing, but give them an interested stare. Corrigated Iron Sheets come in very useful to plug the gaps in the hedge. The selection of farm animals available is very limited (can’t get a Mullingar Heifer for love or money) but with the help of paint brush there’s not a Frisian in sight. I was able to use some more of Weshty’s gates, I really like them but they are very fiddly especially when you model them to open and close. It’s amazing the time it takes just to do this small section trying to encapsulate the “feel” of the farmyard, if anything it’s probably too clean.

krose Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 That's a great farm scene, I think I'll incorporate 1 into my layout. Once apona time when the railways ran in Donegal, the line passed through the middle my grandfathers farm. He did the gates which are still there along with the old barns and a farmhouse like the ones in your diorama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hidden-agenda Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The farm is excellent K well done with the cows well worth all the work you put in and nice videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger711 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Excellent work Kirley, just one thing I would do is to remove those bases from the Cows and just glue the legs to the ground, unless they are going to be milked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirflick Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 well done kirley..great attention to detail there. love the hay scattered in the yard....not enough sh.t lying around though, - you have the cows well trained!!! if you throw a few chickens under the post van you can bill eamonn for 'foul play'!

It would be hard to milk those bullocks but your point about removing the plastic bases which got covered in overspray (are nearly all model cattle Friesian?) is one I will defiantly get around to.

Kirley Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 As I had got some of Leslie’s (Provincial Wagons) Cattle Wagon Kits I had to display them in the proper surroundings. I adapted two Raito Cattle Docks to fit the space I had set aside on the layout. I modified one of the wagons so that the door could open and close to provide a more realistic scene. With that through put of livestock there is always a residue left behind and the is always someone who gets the job of shovelling s..t. It can be approached from either side with walkways to the Cattle pens. I’m not sure how protypical this scene would be in Ireland, if fact then only photograph I can recall was the one in Rails through The West where they were loading Cattle of the Platform in Ennis.
