PaulC Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Thanks Wrenneire, the more I look at this the more I'm tempted to reproduce it. The lean to is a nice added feature to it. Where is this box located? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have to agree with you, Paul C. I have thought that it would be useful if some members with a decent knowledge of the lineside architecture of the various railways WLWR, DSER, MGWR, GSWR, GNR (or maybe their predecessors if necessary) could display a few photos of the prototypical buildings, signal etc along with suggestions for some lookalikes to assist modelers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railway Lyons Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Some updates from the club last night, somehow it has been almost a year. Lots of tree planting still to come. Signals to be positioned. Fine tuning of track. Back scenes and lighting to be added. And plenty of rolling stock. Oh, the camera crew, and Mr.Wayne and Ms. O'Hara. Overview of the whole layout from end: Overview of the whole layout front: Station Building, not yet fixed in place. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DART8118 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thanks Wrenneire. It's clear enough who crafted the model of the cabin, but did Dave build the original bricks and mortar structure too? 8118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
