One potential buyer declined because they did not have the space to store it.

Would anyone make a stab at the value of this model - I mean, if I were to sell to a local historical society, with all rolling stock and two OO Works locos? Don't post here but please PM.
-
If I do anything it will be N gauge so when the grandchildren call they can have some fun too!
-
Thanks guys for your comments. I am currently looking for a permanent home for it and hopefully it will be go on display - and all the locos and rolling stock will go with it.

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...
