Broithe Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 If we're saying things again, then I'll (re)say that I usually find 'modern urban' layouts a little disappointing. They often look a little sparse and artificial. This proves that that does not need to be the case. 1 Quote
warb Posted January 3, 2020 Author Posted January 3, 2020 Having been quite for a while and slightly tired, I had given up working on some building on Barrow Street. Now with the new year I have restarted working on Rostrevor Court, hopefully the last of the main buildings required for Barrow Street and then on to detailing of all the buildings and completion of the overhead catenary.

popeye Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Beautiful, so realistic. Needs a few people, dogs, seagulls etc. Quote
LostCarPark Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Amazing display. Well done. Although I feel you should have all the steel girders inside Pearse for the roof replacement. Quote
David Holman Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Modern image modelling at its very best. Probably said it before, but ugly buildings somehow look really good when done as well as this. Quote

Robert Shrives Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Warb, Great OLE work - in Brass it ought to be fairly bomb/ hooman proof. It will make track cleaning a bit of a pain but I expect you have a plan. The light weight cross spans are amazingly fine- you must be pleased with them. Thanks for up date and more power to your elbow! Robert 1 Quote

popeye Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 WOW, you won't want to do that again. Just thinking how many times you will catch something on it and break a bit off. Quote
Irishrailwayman Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 The only word for this layout is.. awesome. The sheer scale and ambition of those buildings and their authenticity is just amazing! Quote

murrayec Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 @warb I built 20ft of double track cantenary for a chap, a post about every foot or so, we installed phosphorous bronze overhead wires!! not one has survived- track cleaning, re-tracking derailed stock and people not noticing the wires was the cause. The layout just has the posts now..... Eoin 1 1 Quote

David Holman Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 I've done the same on Arigna/Belmullet, but with the signal wire posts. Unless you look really closely, you see the posts and don't missed the wires. Quote
