Think of the lengths one would have to go to

A project you could dive into.

But a layout that size would only progress at a crawl.

Darius works freestyle

Am not going to hijack Darius' thread with puns.....

[Darius43]

Added lights and peops to the down platform.

Looking very good under the lights - the scene has really come to life with the lights and the people!

Quick question for you @Darius43, did you just go "plug and play " for the light s, ? Or did you take the "proper" route. And if plug and play, what did you use? .Looks great.

Thanks, Derek.

[Darius43]

The lights are from Kyte’s Lights and are wired to parallel bus bars (copper tape strips) beneath the platform.

So not plug and play.

Cheers

Magnificent.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those passengers are miniature versions of actual people.......

[Patrick Davey]

@Darius43 - nice platform seats, what is their origin?

[Darius43]

Hi Patrick.  I found the seats on eBay.  They came ready made but were a bit plasticky so I sprayed them black and painted the timber slats green.

Thanks for that. Should have known really..... No short cuts with you

[Darius43]

Made a start on the sea wall part of the layout.

Cheers

Great to see some more progress!

The lights look amazing, they bring a sense of life to everything.

[derek]

Don't think my question on the lights went down too well. Apologies, didn't mean to cause offence .

[Darius43]

Hi Derek. No apology necessary.  I wasn’t in the least offended by your question.

Cheers

Sea wall surface made using Wills crazy paving sheets cut to fit and blended together with a skim coat of plaster of Paris.

Plan is to colour using Woodland Scenics rock pigments.

[Darius43]

Sea wall painted and temporarily in place.

[Patrick Davey]

Excellent viewing angle - and the finish of the sea wall is superb too, one can hear the waves......

 

[Mol_PMB]

Wow, super work. There’s no way I can keep up with your pace - I’ve been working on one building for a fortnight. 

[David Holman]

Will be a very good place for photographs.

[Galteemore]

Excellent. There was a very similar stretch between Eden and Downshire, 4 miles along from Whitehead. Crossing the line here to get to the sea could be rather exciting - what you did NOT want to happen was being trapped between the rails and the sea wall when a train was coming….clearance wasn’t generous!

Instantly recognisable!

[Darius43]

Loved watching “Model World” on TV in the ‘70s - still have the book with all the plans in the back somewhere.
