When is the closing date for this?

A another vote from me, this time from my work pc

Stunning stuff. That’s a great piece of workmanship Scahalane. I’m looking forward to the progress of this layout. Keep the pic updates coming

Welcome Jim. I'm new myself and have found my time on here very enjoyable and informative. Those plans for the terminus at Blacksod were very impressive, do you plan to recreate it on your layout Karl

Done

Great job Kirley! Glendergs station building is indeed excellent, great detail.

The crane bases are looking great Dave. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Good man. I see its repeated at 3am Thursday morning for the guys with insominia, it must be playing up terrible with the lack of F1 on at the moment:ROFL:

I have not been to any GPs before but me and a couple of the lads are thinking of going to Spa in August this year, flying into Dusseldorf and getting a campervan down to Spa. We are trying for tickets at Eau Rouge if possible but if not we are not sure which of the other corners would be good, any recommendations EPB?

Cant wait for it either. I think you right Anthony LH should have stayed with McLaren they are a more innovative team, but we will just have to wait and see how he fairs out with Mercedes. With a lot of speculation that Vettel will go to Ferrari at the end of this year and LH going to RB might have been a better move..

Which class of Proto 2000 are you running Anthony?

Thats a good start Dave, and a fantastic picture form NatGeo there. Looks like you may need a bigger crane for the top of that tower though

I'm looking forward to seeing the building of this loco.

I dont think a rub with an oily rag will do much for 189. The next time she gets cleaned up will be before the new logo goes on!!

BosK, Really liking this layout, the superelevation on the curves gives a great sence of realism. This layout really is shaping up to be 1 of the best. I love that dirty 189 or at least I think its 189.

Where the NI loco works always at yorkgate?

That’s a great bit of footage 201bhoy!

Anthony & Kirley, The shed I am building could never be used as a layout, it would have bikes, the golf clubs, a lawnmower and god knows what else thrown in there after 6mts. I think the attic is eventually the way to go. Thanks for all the advise so far from everyone and for those with layouts in the attic does the cold or dampness affect the layouts or locos? Or in the summer does the heat? Skinner75 & Glenderg Ill take your advice on the ridged insulation between the rafters and plasterboard over. I might need to knock a hole in the gable wall and install a vent for the hot summer evenings. But first things first, I got some 15mm plywood today Buck-shee pre cut in 500mm x 1350mm strips and all I need now is a bit of 2” x 2” or 2” x 3” to construct a frame. Once construction commences Ill post some photos.

Thanks Riche. Ill post some pics as I go.

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.

http://scalescenes.com/products/T032-Gantry-Crane You would need one of these to load onto your 071/201 hauled freight train! Does anyone know is it possible to load these scalescene PDFs into Photoshop or gimp to add some weathering before printing?

Tidy bit of work there Shinkansen.
