  1. THE END OF THE LINE Hi everyone Is this literally the end of the line, I started this layout in February 2014, and it has taken me until May 2014, so ten years to get to where it currently is now. It was controlled by a H&M Duette controller wired for cab control via 18 DPDT switches, in April 2017 I took the plunge and switched to DCC and didn’t look back. In 2024 I became gradually quite unwell resulting in being Hospitalised over Christmas and New Year, resulting in an illness that has left me with serious mobility issues, as a result I am giving serious consideration to dismantling the layout and getting a new layout on the ground floor. Plans have already being drew up. So this is probably the last posting for this layout. I have added some pictures taken today by my daughter showing the start and the end of its construction. Thanks to anyone who followed or showed interest in its development over the years. Regards Ray
  2. Excellent work Patrick well done TDR
  3. Hi everyone one NI ambulance and two RUC landrovers fitted with blue flashing lights, almost ready to fit on the layout by the pub fight scene VID_20240822_154104816.mp4 VID_20240822_154143792.mp4
  4. Hi All, anyone using liquid poly for joining plasticard, reserve a small amount in a small jar with lid, add plastic scraps and cut up waste pieces and add to liquid poly leave overnight then stir when required, makes liquid plastic to fill any gaps in plastic kits/joints. TDR

  11. Saddened to hear Hattons are closing down. I've dealt with them since 1978 when I bought my first point and electric point motor from them and had many, many orders since, they'll be missed. TDR
  12. Thank you Thank you Thanks Noel
  13. Hi everyone, Carrying on from the last update, I've now completed phase 2. Textures/rapids, applied to the river and the bottom of the waterfall, although white this will dry clear and be picked out later by dry brushing , some pics attached. enjoy TDR
  14. Thanks to everyone whom responded to my latest post, its very encouraging. TDR
  15. Hi everyone, just a quick update on the layout. I have been putting this on the back burner for a while and finally picked up the nerve to give it a go, having watched several videos, this is the results so far. There is still lots to do to the river and the waterfalls to achieve the finish i'm after. The pictures show the last two days attempts thus far. Enjoy TDR
