Portoman Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 This layout justs gets better and better . Make me mad jealous. Also well done Ritchie ! Fits in brilliantly Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 That is a superb piece of workmanship and from your real life photo's it really captures the original perfectly,the whole model station just oozes atmosphere,as does your whole layout overall.The final real life photo gives a great guide as to how much you need to lower the footbridge,which looks like the original also,is it a bought or handmade model?Super stuff as always Kieran.

Glenderg Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Thanks lads, and if Kieran wasn't the gracious man he is, he would happily tell you that this build is several months overdue, and he was fit to strangle me at several stages. His patience has to be applauded!!! R. Quote
ttc0169 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Yes top quality build there Richie.....fits and blends in nicely Kieran.... Quote
scahalane Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 A real beauty alright, great job Richie. Its hard to tell what materials were used, I presume its plasticard painted and not print on card. Quote
Glenderg Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Cheers lads. Yeah Sean, it's all wills sheet and evergreen styrene strip for the walls and cills, styrene surrounds for the windows and doors, and scored acetate for the roof tiles. There's just a bit of card on the inside for the primary structure, but it's mostly heart and blade breaking wills sheet. R. Quote
Warbonnet Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Looks fab on the layout, was lucky to have a glimpse of her in person today and it looks amazing. Good to see you today Kieran. Quote
RedRich Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 It looks fantastic and compliments the rest of your fine layout, you are right to be pleased. Also huge respect to Richie for more amazing and inspiring work. Rich, Quote
heirflick Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 fantastic , beautiful , amazing , stunning - great work richie! makes the layout..........it just gets better and better! Quote
Shinkansen Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Clonmel station looks really the part. Amazing bit of architecture well captured by Glenderg. Kirley Junction just gets better and better Tom Quote
Kirley Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Work still continues on Clonmel Station buildings. Between the buildings and the bridge there is a wall with access through it to a shed. This is a rough copy to imitate what's there. An undercoat of grey. I still have to add some stone effect and paint the back wall as well as add some detail and paint the shed. The gap between the wall and the Booking Hall is for the Gent's toilet building which Glenderg is finishing off along with another connecting building on the far side of the booking hall. Quote
Kirley Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 My Station buildings started with the Bachmann Clonmel Station (in reality it was only the Booking Hall) and commissioned Glenderg to construct the main station building. All the Clonmel buildings are in a straight line but because I had not enough space on my layout I designed the station to be on a curve. The Main Station building was connected by the "Ladies" block to the Booking Hall with the "Gents" on the far side. Because of the Station being on a curve it was going to be difficult to join these building as you had to get the angles right. It was decided that Glenderg would supply the two walls of the "Ladies" and the rest of the construction would be done on site. Rail side wall Road side wall You can see what I mean about difficult angles. Here you can see if I followed the ridge line the roof on the "Ladies" would not look right. I moved the ridge line to the front of the chimney and it seems to work OK. Paper template cut for the roof Roof in place and gully filled with DAS clay filler. Ridge tiles added. You can't see the join -hopefully. Relieved to get the ridge line level with the one on the Booking Hall. I finished off the remaining buildings and did a preliminary coat of paint. Here is the line of Station buildings. The Shed roof still has to be put in place. Booking Hall to the left and the "Gent" building adjoining. Showing the "Ladies" which links the main Station Building with the Bachmann's Booking Hall. Very pleased the way these buildings link together -credit to Glenderg. Showing the Main Station building and on its left the wall of the Station Master's Yard. Showing the Lean-to Shed in the yard (Glenderg build) Front entrance of the Main Station Building, some window frames still to go in. You will notice the roof paint is on the heavy side but since the photograph was taken I have reduced it to allow the roof tile details to show through. Shows the Road side view of the link building ("Ladies") Showing the rear of the Gent's building and Shed. Still more detailing to do before I install it on the layout but it's getting there. Quote

Kirley Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 I finally finished wiring up lights for the Station buildings so here's a few pictures to see how they turned out. The camera is very unforgiving and picked up things I did not notice with the naked eye: Gaps between the bottom of buildings need to be sealed to prevent light spillage. The semi gloss back scene reflects the lights, not sure if a matt varnish would cure the reflective properties? The white lights in the main station building is too harsh and would need toned down. It's always the same just when you think you have a job finished you realise there's still lots to do. Quote
Weshty Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 That 2nd one is simply brilliant. Pure atmosphere. Quote
UP6936 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 The outside lights look fantastic, just the right 'softness' and really realistic, top notch! The Bachmann DMU lights look great also Quote
