00 Goathland

As Goathland is filmed for Heartbeat I tend to model that as well
Greengrass

no before picture, but ge fr the wet locks, waistcoat and scarf a must
I have seen the correct van but not in 00 or at least not at the time of producing this so I bodged one.

Aidensfield Ar me pub as bought.

donor lorry

tried red

better but so RED!

duller better


better


but not right, needs darker



definitly better


much better

Bridge into the carpark

Waiting room
i p,an a creamier colour and to add blinds to the windows

Platform / foam

Hornby platforms are fine for a small length,but especially when you want to model a real place you have to look at other solutions
Having insulated the roof,then found ways to use the cuts offs, and making the stairs it occred to us that we might have the solution for the platform and the 25mm thick sheets was just about spot on for depth, bomus

grabbed a sheet, filed a lip, scalpeled some stone
grabbed a paint brush and sone thin paint to see how it would translate



i should have measured but I just hit it


checked against the track

roughly cut sone slopes, I meant to improve but once it was in place never went back lol


I tend to slap paint on in light colours then build up if it appears to be working,there is rarely a plan more a seat of your pants

the real slope

first colours to define bricks then a wash over the load to grey it down


being foam you can cut and sit the building, the water pumps lamps whatever


if embedding ablock and sanding paper work fast

very cheap by comparison to building using pkastic kit

dulled down the brighter colours are suitably showing the individual stones
I did damage some but reoairs are easy if you can be bothered, sanded foam and glue are one option.
I paint with pvc to harden and strengthen

plastic fence just pushed in,if I ever damage it glue will sort it
really need to weather the rails
perfect not nit even close, but once you add loads of different factors people are to bush looking at the overall to concentrate on the individual issues
plus I think I was nagged by Richard and used n gauge here as he hates 00 gauge ballast on 00 gauge layouts.

FYI always wanting to try something new when we did Kalborough we tried a different technique, we had left over plasterboard also 25mm the paper finish was paintable but if it soaked up too match watery paint could be an issue, and aligning the peco edging was more problematic but not beyond our patience to fit, then ballast to bed



tried this plastic sheet, the cost and embedding was more problematic and not very weight bearing gave up on this idea quite quickly

the plasterboard obvious carried weight easier, and as we could paint we tried different styles, these were basically referenced from Peterborough station


a blade cut the slabs then painted carefully, the slopes involved cutting the plaster in the plasterboard which was messy but not too difficult




I could also mark the board for embedding the buildings

and the board was soft enough to press some detailing into place

all in all I think I prefer the foam, and all that peco edging added up in cost, but either did the job

And for reference Kalborough

I wanted to detail a butchers once upon a time before elf and safety got in on the act, you could regularly see meat hanging from the butchers,Xmas York hams and turkeys and even sides of neat
pink plastercine

shaped
then painted




white fat and flesh pink added

selling the back of a lorry was not unusual,and not always netted either

cork tile painted, then a ruler and sharpie then a ruler and yellow paint


add bridge sides


added a bit more dirt


before additional dirt
cirk tile and grey paint first layer

peco plastic sides

oops forgot to add reference…need to pay more attention lol

this was the original sandstone effect for the cliff by the church
but it was more USA than UK so an update
using real living plants that worked for the gauge

a darker grey layer
and blacker deep shadows toning the terracotta down

adding mosses and textures


static grasses long and short

ok the fog is a bit ott

lichen

checking and looking for obvious model shoutouts
like floating gravestones


Improving spots hiding any floaters etc
