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.
-
Robert, your picture is full of great colour detail Eoin, your sketch is very good and worth exploring Dave, i'll deal with you next time we meet!
-
Progress on water tower build.... Can anyone suggest what type of detailing would be required inside the actual tank? Since it will be within the viewers eye, I need to detail it with something. Any ideas?
-
Lovely stuff Patrick. The ballasting and tracwork are so realistic and they are set against a simple but very effective backdrop of rural Ireland, well done
-
Ken, Thanks for your comment. The crossing vee was actually removed from the junction of the Bundoran line when it was closed in 1957. It actually was left in storage outside the South Cabin but I thought it would add to the scene in the Goods Yard.
-
I have started work on the water tower, gents toilet and shunters hut that were situated on the north end of omagh. They were situated on the passenger platform with access to the goods yard. This will bring this project build to an end almost. All I need to do is prepare the fascia and surround to allow safe display.
