The Derry Road Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks for the comments everyone, Fridge, kettle and glasses on order, drinks will be supplied for heirflick when he visits and also any others.

Kirley Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 That's some collection Raymond, I started to count your stock but after a while I started to doze off, there's just so many! The backdrops look really well but you have obviously been spending most your time on shelving. Looking forward to seeing further progress on the layout.

Thanks Kieran, your right about the shelves, and a few more to construct to house the remainder. I'm currently installing drawers for most of the stock that will go under the base boards when the electrics are completed. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josefstadt Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Great progress, it's looking great. Lovely selection of locos and rolling stock. I especially like the timber train, what wagons are you using for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derry Road Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks everyone for their comments. The timber wagons are Piko (54338) repainted. I hope to have all the point motors fitted in the next couple of weeks. I'll do a few more pictures of the progress before building up the scenery.

The Derry Road Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi gang, this is the latest progress on the layout with most of the scenery formed with a few parts still to touch up and complete before painting and placing trees etc. Most of the buildings are placed in their final position before locking them down after painting etc. /2uonwyc.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnthebox Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The DR, would you mind explaining to me, ( a learner of everything in Irish model railways ) what it was you used, if anything, to support the plaster, if plaster it was you used, on the landscaping, as it really looks great, btb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derry Road Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 BTB the landscape was formed using polystyrene pieces cut to shape, I got this from a local furniture shop which was packaging they were discarding. Covered by bonding plaster adding PVA in the water prior to mixing. I used artist palette knives to smooth as it started to harden the knives are the cheap ones from The Works shop. I've tried many methods over the years and this to me is the best way as you can do it a small area at a time. TDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derry Road Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks Dunluce Castle. I asked the manufacturer for this as he advertised others like LMS, GWR etc and he has now added these to his list for any future requests TDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Looks like the major works are completed Raymond and even at this stage your pictures give a good idea on how its going to be. It must give you a great deal of personal satisfaction to have reached this stage. Hope to see you Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
