driver301 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Folks, I got another little bit done on the layout recently. Although shortened up etc Platform 5 is starting to take shape. Next part I will do is the Link Building to connect Platforms 6/7 with Platform 5/4/3/2/1. The plan then is to detail the platforms under the trainshed roof & add the concourse.

Weshty Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 A lovely layout and great inspiration. I like the red brick arched walls, capoby and general station frontage. Looks like a fair bit of work has gone in, and it doesn't have a "kit" look about it. After 7 years of "I'll get round to it", I should finally have my base boards in place in the next fortnight!

jhb171achill Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I presume that like with 00, there would be British RTR locomotives suitable for even approximate conversion to NCC, GNR, CIE (RPSI?) prototypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver301 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hi Folks, Its been a while since I last posted as progress has been very slow due to work commitments. I managed to get a bit done over the last week or so on the underpass & link building. This should be done early next week once I put the lift in so before I do that & put on the roof here are some pitcures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UP6936 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 That interior is stunning! I actually had to check I had clicked the N gauge thread, I thought it was OO or bigger. This will be some layout when it's finished, keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driver301 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks Lads for all the kind comments. I got a bit more done on the Link Building this evening.

driver301 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks Lads. I hopefully will have Platform 5 completed over the weekend. @UP6936 I used a farish 150 DMU as the basis for the 2800 adding sides to the unit to give it the correct shape.

driver301 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's been a while since I last posted an update. I've been working away on IEs HQ. Like with other parts of the model it had to be shortened etc to fit into the layouts overall size. I'm reasonably happy with the way it is looking now and I should be able to start on the other buildings on Amines Street within the next couple of weeks. Here is a couple of pictures showing progress on the HQ building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
