Hi All

I have been asked to post some of my work so here goes:

The above layout is built at 'N' scale is in 3 levels and can run 13 trains. The design is an update of a previous layout I made in 1986, which worked very well and was on exhibition for a number of years. The original layout was criticised for lack of running options, therefore the new version, which will be used as an illustration in the new edition of my book.

This photograph shows part of a back and forth layout built to 'OO' scale and will also be used as an illustration in a new edition of my book.

Hi John
Excellent work , Great weathering on the loco
The "aerial view of the layout looks impressive
I particularly like the row of townhouses (Not sure if you call them that in GB) which are slightly staggered

Hi All

I have been asked to add another photo; This view looks towards the photo with the turntable shown earlier. The station building has as yet to receive its dirty wash to dull the colour of the brickwork. The ballast is a series of colours to represent a mixture of old and new ballast. The colour of the rails are very true to a sample I had matched with a real rail, but they dont look quite right on the model!

That color doesn't seem to scale well, being too dark and red, (on my monitor).

I find that Tamiya's Nato Brown acrylic, is a good starting point, being a mid shade that you can darken and lighten easily as needed.

i do rather like that hornby station building. i was very sceptical of the scaledale range at first but that station has won me over!
