islandbridgejct Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Fantastic modelling. We're not worthy. 2 Amiens Streets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Cheers lads, and Dive that model/photo is from a prototype that's close to going into the bin. The IRRS furnished me with photos as best they could and it transpired that the ground floor windows were more arched and there were windows to the rear to control the Newcommen Curve section - total redesign. As I say, the early version is close to going into the bin, but if anyone wants to take if off my hands, they are welcome to it. Collection only mind. Edit - Dive is the lucky new owner of Amiens Street Signal Box Edited February 14, 2015 by Glenderg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Quick off the mark Dive! Well done She's a beauty Pure Luck! Usually I'm still at work when you are all posting and everything in the For Sale is already gone! Unlike John Mayner, whose about 19 hours ahead of me where it's already Sunday in NZ. So, basically, he can buy anything on the site before it's even posted! Very nice work though:-bd Thanks, Richie!

BosKonay Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Am getting the backscenes finished (the viaduct curve still needs a little smoothing, the backscene sheets got squished in the post so were nicely wrinked, tried ironing them before mounting, with not much success.. might try steaming them a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yum! Very very nice. It already looks great but will look utterly spectacular when landscaped in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 You made the right choice with the background Stephen. Anything other than sky would detract from the magnificent viaduct and the rolling stock crossing it. Stick a few pics of the Enterprise set on it if you have time. I think it would make a nice avatar. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 84C Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Bos, try brushing the back ground sheet ,with a paper hanging brush when you steam the back sheet. depending on the glue used to fix it the steam should make the glue soft/workable. Does that make sense? its late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 It does! Will give it a lash!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Continuing the theme of progress on the layout, no matter how small, I tweaked a little Bachmann 'Kiosk' with lighting, some signage and a CCTV monitor. It will be the security hut on the gate of the as yet un-named cement works... Just need to find a suitably disinterested looking lad in a hi-vis now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Very nice. These buildings do serve a purpose in the real world, so it nice to the model and give it some life. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heirflick Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Beautiful work Steven - you should do an update on the video of the layout - to give us all a badly needed dose of inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I've been working on the little terminus station and cement works on the viaduct branch (literally have it in bits beside my as I 'work' the day job ) It's almost done... have some lighting to install, wiring to hide and a few details to add to the interior, and I'll do a proper 'catch up' and maybe even try to run something!
