Ye Olde Kids Layout

[BosKonay]

Now demolished to make more room for Amiens Street, here are some shots of a 6x4 tailchaser I built to experiment and for the kids

Lovely job Stephen. I'd settle for something like that myself to keep me going until the man shed gets built .

 

Rich,

[irishtrains2730]

nice layout i too would be happy with it.

[BosKonay]

Cheers lads, the idea was a basic roundy for the lads, which I could use to experiment and gain some experience with - highly recommended It gave me a much clearer idea of what i wanted, and what was possible

The bloke by the bar in the snack car? Modelled on anybody we know? Obviously, he's got his hand in his pocket, which narrows it down quite a lot...

They're good to start off with, but you kind of outgrow them after a while. It gets boring watching your big 201 chasing it's tail

[BosKonay]

Very boring

Especially when the 'main station' can just about accept a 141 and two cravens

 

Great fun to build though, and great experience

[201bhoy]

My main station can accommodate a 201! I never really got putting up scenery on mine... What scenery do you think you'll deal with first?

[Guest hidden-agenda]

That looks first class and lucky kids to have had fun with it.

My plan (for Amiens Street) is to get it electrically functional once all is laid. My priority is reliable running (hence the number of droppers and wiring). Once done, I plan to weather and paint the track, lay the 'hard' stuff, like platforms, hard standings, etc, and place all the buildings. Then get stuck into ballasting and some green stuff

[201bhoy]

Sounds like a good plan to me I can't wait to see the station area!

Have to say your craven figures are very well posed and painted, the final craven shot could be the real thing.

 

What figures did you use, Preiser?

That's a nice job for a kids layout, the Cravens with the passengers look great; giving me ideas

Preiser and the coaches are also fitted with interior lighting
