Model Railways Part 1 1980s TV series Bob Symes

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. -
Finally made a start after 40 years.

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.- 27 replies

Beagnach end: A Branchline terminus.
dropshort105 replied to Metrovik's topic in Irish Model Layouts
I had the privilege of seeing this wonderful little layout at Dunshaughlin, it is a wonderful example of how a layout can be small, uncomplicated and still capture the atmosphere of the period, it's lovely. -
Wow, the last time I saw the mill was 1980something, that's exactly what I remember.
-
Indeed, there was three layouts, and no huge clouds, plenty of time to admire, talk, photograph, with a few more layouts and some more types of models of interest it will develop into a great little show, and it really supports the hobby as the people are general public and not necessarily from the model community. I'm quite excited about displaying next year.

Sounds like this might be growing legs, count me in.

That is a lovely little layout, very atmospheric

I will definitely trek 200 yds down the road.

I really like that little yellow building, is it scratch or a kit ?

Wow, a little piece of Ireland in Germany, including telephone box, absolutely wonderful. -
Oh, I love "abandoned" on a layout, there is so much can be done with an abandoned line, looking forward with great interest to what you come up with.
-
Yeah, looking forward to seeing your plan.

Yeah, usually the real thing doesn't scale down very well, I think these ones do, and plenty more where they came from, with the price of half decent looking trees , I might go into commercial production -

I was out for a walk yesterday, the twigs on a dead tree cought my eye, I have no idea what kind of tree it was, but five minutes with some lichen and some scatter, they came up beautifully.- 27 replies

Wow, that is not much space, but from reading magazines, well looking at pictures in them anyway, it can be done.

If you want it flexible use strips of cork instead of cardboard,
