Warbonnet Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Brendan asked me to post these pics up for him as he's having a bit of trouble re-sizing them. Progress so far... Quote

Warbonnet Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 I'm sure he'll be along himself to tell you the thinking behind it, but I think Peak Forest in the UK was mentioned at one stage. Of course, there are five or six levels underneath this one, and a train takes well over 20 minutes to one complete circle. Quote
RedRich Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I'm sure he'll be along himself to tell you the thinking behind it, but I think Peak Forest in the UK was mentioned at one stage. Of course, there are five or six levels underneath this one, and a train takes well over 20 minutes to one complete circle. It's really progressed Fran since the build commenced and looks great. The peak Forest was always an area that I thought would make a great model. Railway Modeller had a great piece with a track plan for it many years ago. Rich, Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Well worth the planning and excellent result so far. Quote

Warbonnet Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Some pics of my centennial in action, we took some videos but my laptop is out of action at the mo so I'll have to wait a few days before I upload them.

Hunslet 102 Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Great looking layout,the American stock really look at home in the long straight section.Looking forward to more pics Quote
David Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 What's the other UP diesel that you have there? Is it one of the gas turbine locos? Quote
BosKonay Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Whats your preparation tips on the ballasting and concrete ties? Looks amazing! Quote
Warbonnet Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 What's the other UP diesel that you have there? Is it one of the gas turbine locos? Yep it's a veranda Gas Turbine with tender that I fitted sound to. Quote
A4mallard Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Boskonay, I use diluted glue in a large syringe with a needle. I apply the glue between sleepers one at a time then drop the ballast into place, then blow away the surplus. I do approx 6 inches of double track at a time....... it's up there with watching paint dry. This way it dries in about 4 hours and it's not as messy as the traditional way. Quote
heirflick Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 great stuff brendan. you were right about a multilevel layout...its the only way to go. have to say that i had hugh doughts about it but am converted. work has finally settled down , in the fact that the main building is closed and all in situ were transferred to community settings just last monday, so with that , overtime etc have gone , and so i finally have the time to start the layout. all stock is stored and nearly all the boards lifted - so heres to the start of something new for me. can i still call you for assistance and advice? seamus Quote
BosKonay Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Brilliant Bren - do you airbrush the weathering on after the ballasting and did you paint or spray the rails before ballast? Thanks again! It's looking awesome! Quote
A4mallard Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 boskoney I airbrush after I ballast it tidys everything up, I use 3 different colours, light tan, tan and a red brick red. bren Quote
