  1. For what it's worth, I use 3mm MDF as underlay. It gives a nice shoulder effect (nice to me anyway) . I put double sided tape on this instead of using PVA. Having used PVA for ballast previously I found running trains way too noisy. Tape is much quieter. Only drawback is that you have to apply ballast immediately after sticking down track. I know this is not a popular choice but it works for me.
  2. Nice shot from the other side of the bridge.
  3. Excellent standard as usual Alan
  4. Ha ha, do you ever sit still Paul? "While waiting for the paint to dry?". Why don't you just wait patiently for it to dry like the rest of us mere mortals?
  5. Bit more done to the cattle dock. Stone added and a back wall. And of course a few cow pats. Small bit of weathering too. Lighting is probably too bright in these pics, now that I see them properly. The sun was actually shining in the window behind me- who would have thought. Oh well, you get the idea.. Started on the railing work by making a couple dozen of these lads
  6. What locos are in Moyasta at present.? Passed that way couple weeks ago and could see a 121 and 141 I think, but I believe there are two others? Was driving at the time and my better half didn't appreciate me having my eyes on the trains instead of the road so I couldn't get a great look .
  7. Superb. Never get tired of looking at this. Send your brother round to my place please. Maybe he can make my layout look that well. Oh right, it doesn't work that way
  8. @josh_, You could try printing off brick patterns from the internet. Worked ok for me in the early stages of my layout. Before I decided to replace brick with stone.. Will save you a few quid. Up to you of course
  9. I've always loved that word. Sums up the orange one perfectly.
  10. Really love that bridge @Patrick Davey. Colours are fantastic. Well done
  11. this is some craic! Better than the eurovision anyway
  12. Lovely model Kevin. Especially like the camber on the hips of the roof
