I'm building one of these Scale Model Scenics buildings, it occurred to me that they could be turned into lovely derelicts .

I love your railgun, any closeup shots of it ?

Thank you, it's coming together I think.

A worthwhile couple of hours wireing lights,

Yup, 83mm, I try not to use my brain on a weekend.

It rises 83cm for each 360 deg of radius 3 curve, whatever gradient that is.

This one is made from a free 3D printer file,if you think you might like one and if you have access to a 3D printer, I will send you on the file, if not drop me a pm and we will get you fixed up.

Its made by Noch, a moulded building made out of some super duper foam stuff, it comes with a reasonably nice tree and a little abandoned tractor, well worth the tenner I paid for it but certainly not worth the forty or fifty retail price, The tree in the photo isn't the one that comes with it.

It is double track, radius 2 and 3, can't remember the gradient off the top of my head, will measure it tomorrow and get back to you, I'm sure I wrote it on it someplace so I would remember, but every loco I have gets up it alright, some of the older traction tyre ones needed the tyres replaced with a magic American potion called Bullfrog Snot, don't ask me where they came up with the name.

Yeah, he was an MTB skipper in the med.I love his TV shows,

I came across his tv programs on YouTube a couple of weeks ago, there are loads of them, very dated obviously, but well worth a watch.

I really need to work on my photography

Scenics have now migrated to the main baseboard with the addition of a level crossing and keepers cottage, I build in a ditch as well to give a bit of 3D depth to the fairly flat baseboard, I'm reasonably happy with the look of it.
