RedRich Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Lovely job Stephen. I'd settle for something like that myself to keep me going until the man shed gets built . Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtrains2730 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 nice layout i too would be happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201bhoy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Very boring Especially when the 'main station' can just about accept a 141 and two cravens Great fun to build though, and great experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201bhoy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hidden-agenda Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 That looks first class and lucky kids to have had fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201bhoy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Sounds like a good plan to me I can't wait to see the station area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshty Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
