Looks like it will come out lovely just the booms along look fab.

Scenery painted and rocks painted base black. Slowly coming together. This is a lovely outline to work with. Small play while waiting for paint to dry. VID_20251009_233542.mp4 VID_20251009_233028.mp4

2nd that, bit of of the way but great set up. Got to sit in a Sea Vixen there too! The last one is a Sea Venom, Not a Vampire.

Not a job I was relishing due to the mess but the hills are alive with the sound of mixing pollyfilla. Applied and then brushed smooth with a wetted broad brush.

Cheers Phillip, Yep, Not sure what happened but these are the ones I actually ordered.. Damn. those are German for sure. got them on a sale some months ago and should of paid a bit more attention when they arrived. I'll probably for for the Krois model jobs as they are spot on.

For those that are into Instagram I have created a page for the layout here. getting to grips with the instagram as mostly for cool kids and its a new thing for me!! Instagram

Next thing is a signal or two. Now I got these 2 OBB signals but I don't see them it any photos. I have found a website that does the actual correct outline so should I ditch those and go with the correct ones?

Finally finished all the spans, hopefully it gives a good representation of the real thing, few more detail bits to be added as we go on. Kinda fulfilled a boyhood urge of doing this since I got my 1st loco in the 70's that had pantographs but of course no wires. I managed to bag that 1st ever loco at the Dublin show last year and it is pride of place in my display cabinet.

nothing yet, usually the 1st week in December. Some diecast car thing he is doing shortly.

This is all based in NI with some really nice scenes in it. The SLNC Loco slipping with the cattle train is ace.

Too Kind Leslie, I too turned my nose up at NG for ages but perhaps I now long for a slower pace these days! I find myself viewing quite a lot of lovely European NG railways and these really capture my interest these days. Somehow I don't see myself getting to Austria anytime soon but hope too in the future at some stage. Maybe get Air Power Airshow in at the same time. cheers George.

Waiting for some more catenary sections so started on the landschaft.

Photocall!. 2nd span installed.

Little video of the pantographs in action. Pretty sexy!! VID_20250922_000144.mp4

Pantograph testing with the 1st span installed. Next one later this week. May need to do 4. Note to self straight platforms are easier.
