Finally made a start after 40 years.
dropshort105 replied to dropshort105's topic in Irish Model Layouts
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 ?

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. -

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. -

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. -

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.- 43 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'm glad those decals found a good home, they look the part. Great job.

Indeed I do, no takers yet. -
I love ruined buildings, that is fantastic

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