The Derry Road

Broithe, Happy birthday, enjoy your day.

ttc0169 Great to see the trains running, progress is looking good and keep the pics coming TDR

Great reading and interesting pictures, thanks for posting. TDR

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to look into this thread and made comments on the progress thus far. It gives great encouragement, thank you all. By Sunday I hope to have the scenery, stage "one" completed on this section on the layout. The track will then have a good cleaning and I can enjoy running sessions whilst mapping out the finer details before starting on the fiddle yard/cement, oil and molasses depots. Hopefully I'll post some more pictures on Sunday. Thanks again TDR

Kieran the messy part nearly done.

Various scatters from Javis range, mixed with woodland scenics clump foliage, bush fibre and under bush materials, rubberised horse hair also dipped in glue and rolled in scatter. TDR

Heres two quick pics of what I've left to do

GSR 800, will do this weekend. I've been working my way round towards the station area and finished off today at the platform edges. Hopefully I will have completed the whole of the basic greenery by Sunday and I'll post a few then, from both ends of the station. TDR

What a mega collection:drool:

Few more pictures to show the progress to date, showing the basic foundation of scenery before detailing with shrubbery, briers and some finer detail etc

Dave I'm unsure of the location of the backscene, its from the Gaugemaster range, I,ve used three of these throughout the layout all different of course TDR

Boskonay the viaduct is three wills kits with extensions to get the six arches. TDR

David I used some woodland scenic and heki trees and sea foam dipped into 50/50 PVA glue/water then dusted with scatter for the rest of the trees. Ground cover is again woodland scenics clump foliage, rubberised horse hair dipped into the glue mix and rolled in scatter (scatter from Jarvis range).and all glued on. and sprayed with cheap tesco hair spray to hold in place

garfieldsghost the castle ruins where purchased fron ebay, and look really simular to the hornby version.TDR

Thanks everyone for your comments, is gives great encouragement and satisfaction. TDR

Yes kieran we've had more than our fair share of rain this last few days, I took your advise you gave me on the seafoam for extra trees and foilage etc during your visit. I think I've made up about 80 extra trees/bushes etc, so I'll see how far that goes, maybe do about half of the layout. TDR

Start of the geern stuff, this weeks effords so far Hopefully get some more done tonight, viaduct just had its first coat after priming, thanks for looking in TDR
