A lot of weathering, actually. @Rob, your layout is something else. Many of the photos look almost real. You have a talent for making off-track spaces look realistic, not over-crowded with evey square cm home to something. House calls in this climate?! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Cheers- l have to own up and say a friend did up some printouts of the roadway to the exact width and length with bus and road markings and l fitted them on the baseboard then. I added the various street furniture, shrubbery, signage and footpaths after but l was very happy with the result!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Cheers Bob- thanks! The platform roofs were a kit many years ago on Ebay in pre-Brexit times- l got it as a temporary set up to try and replicate the new platforms in Heuston but ended up leaving them there once they were installed 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
