Very good day today at Whitehead, very wet and cold! Really enjoyed few minutes I had with Patrick, Gerry, Michael and Charles Friel. The wide range of models and various gauges inspired me. Glad I journeyed out.

Ian, thank you for your kind words and snippets from the 'Con'. Indeed, the trackbed was a shortcut home for many school children. I used to walk the track bed from school to piano lessons and then home to the Derry Road. Although I was born in 1959 my mother took me to Belfast and Derry by train many times. Sadly I have no memory of it.Glad you like the model.

First time through new station today in Derry, lovely interior.

My attic is a cut roof with tons of space but the previous owner thought it a good idea to relocate the trap door to the back bedroom and I've no plans to start climbing in and out of there. My next project, if I ever start, will be an n gauge layout!
-
Superb stuff, how I wish that I'd the space to run trains!
-
The lighting is superb, real life inner-city action in the dead of night
-
David, since you are an expert on presentation, can I ask you if 'creating a window' to the front of a layout with lighting behind the front helmet works, if the sides are going to be either perspex enclosed or open to view.
-
My next steps are the finer detail.... nameboards, signal, water crane, loading gauge and passengers. This will complete the model /diorama and let me focus on the outer fascia and display 'window'. Would the goods store building benefit from some interior lighting coming through the perspex roof lights?
-
Nothing pleases me more than following the detail and progress Warb. A layout that must be seen
-
A platform was added some time during its history and the arch built up. I think it also added to the security of goods at night. Behind the arch a platform ran right up to a small door entrance to the store. Inside, the store was 'planked' to platform height to allow easy unloading of wagons.

Nice, hope he enjoyed it! Thanks David and John, as you know this layout was binned several times but I knew that I would get there eventually.
-
Thanks Patrick and Jonathan. I need to replace the backscene with a one piece roll I bought, fix my trees in position and start thinking about finishing the fascia and fitting some perspex protection in place.
-
And another......

Nearing completion........

More progress to the area of the goods yard that gets close to the passenger platforms...
-
What a lovely piece of film and equally enchanting layout.well done David

When modelling the tank for Omagh I was well aware of the curved corners but decided against trying to replicate the tank exactly. If I knew of an easy way of doing it, I'd replace my current one thanks
-
I remember lads telling me that they used to hide inside the tank in Omagh all day when they were supposed to be in school. This was in the early 1970s, after closure of course.
