Excellent work, the makings of a fine layout. Where did you get the tunnel mouths and retaining walls? They look great.

Dave walls and tunnel mouths were obtained on eBay from Hobbies-by-Design, and thanks for your comment and interest.TDR

I was at the show yesterday and it was a superb day out. Some wonderful layouts on show and well supported by trade stands Met many friends, and had a lengthy chat with Edgar and Ian McNally (MIR) Also met Kirley and Nelson plus many others. Well done to the NDMRS for an excellent show. Roll on the Enniskillen and Dublin shows

I'll be there also on Saturday

Superb addition to your fleet Kieran, and I thought I had a lot of stock. We'll done and keep those inspirational videos coming

Thanks to all for their comments,, and Kieran, your right about the major work part, very time consuming, but the bull dozers and earth movers are gone, after this weekend (the Bangor show) the landscape gardeners and painters will be down on the layout, the sparks are still connecting up point motors and running tests along with laying cables for signals , steel erecters are also erecting off site a mollasses storage depot, and various other trades are getting their heads around the cement plant and oil storage depot positions. TDR

Thanks Dunluce Castle. I asked the manufacturer for this as he advertised others like LMS, GWR etc and he has now added these to his list for any future requests TDR

BTB the landscape was formed using polystyrene pieces cut to shape, I got this from a local furniture shop which was packaging they were discarding. Covered by bonding plaster adding PVA in the water prior to mixing. I used artist palette knives to smooth as it started to harden the knives are the cheap ones from The Works shop. I've tried many methods over the years and this to me is the best way as you can do it a small area at a time. TDR

Hi gang, this is the latest progress on the layout with most of the scenery formed with a few parts still to touch up and complete before painting and placing trees etc. Most of the buildings are placed in their final position before locking them down after painting etc. /2uonwyc.jpg[/img]

Love the shed, looking forward to you putting your stamp on the layout, good luck with the project

Excellent craftsmanship, first class model, very well done

Thanks Kieran, hope to see you at the Bangor show next month
