Wow that's a great area you have to work in Charles. Looks like about three times the size of my garage. I'm looking forward to seeing this develop.

What are you using to paint your track Charles.

It is better than most colours I've seen. I wouldn't mind getting some of that.

I just spray everything with the light earth first and then the rails with the red brown. I don't worry to much about the over spray as it darkens the light earth up and gives the sleepers a more bleached effect.

Thanks for that Charles. That's fairly close to what I've been using Tamiya red brown and flat brown. I'll get some of that as yours looks better than mine.

Cheers

Wow, that's an awesome looking layout Charles. And it's going to get bigger.

 

[neil_s_wood]

That looks good Charles. That is an awesome bit of space you have there.

 

[neil_s_wood]

Looking good Charles. Golf might be nice for a break. Depends on the weather though.

regards

Charles,
I always associate golf with rain. I suppose it's because of where I grew up.

When do you estimate your first train running on this layout?

cheers

Hmm first train running should be sometime in the not so distant future

Yes, Charles, where I lived in Leven and St Andrews it rained almost daily.

I seem to remember that Prestwick has very clear skies.

Look forward to seeing some trains when you get there.

cheers

That's a pretty formidable layout Charles.

 

[neil_s_wood]

Good to see some progress Charles.

Cheers

[neil_s_wood]

Wow, that is going to be a hell of a layout when you have it done.

Looking very good.

Cheers

Neil

 

[neil_s_wood]

Looking good Charles. That's an awesome shed you've got there.
Cheers

When I go back next time I should be making turnouts but I haven't decided whether to go with a No6 or a No5 in the yard. It depends on the big steamers as to how easy they navigate a tighter turnout. If I'm still thinking about that I may lay a bity more wood work, get rid of the 2x2's and fit the "C" channel.
Then if I get time I may make a start on working up to the top deck. We shall see as there is a fair amount of scenery to do plus the backscene and I still have two industrial areas to do as well. Ohh I'm getting a headache

Yes Charles, you've certainly got a lot of work to do there. If you do country scenery you could grassmaster a fair bit of it quickly though. Probably the quickest and cheapest way to cover a big area.

Cheers
Neil
