lofty.ian Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Be careful you don't get carried away with this scenic stuff. It looks good and it is nice watching the progress. Now you have got something running it gives it more purpose. Lofty 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our Baz wants to make a layout that is lovely to look at but no trains run on it then he should be allowed to do so. Says the geezer who has a layout that trains do run on but hasn't got his ar$e in gear to do the scenery. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I blame it on the bloke who got me addicted to doing cut'n'shuts of coaching stock. At least I've got some rakes of coaches that represent more prototypical formations than you can get in RTR. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a rule for many years in the LMRS 00 group that layouts should not have any greenery and certainly no trees. Sadly, these days it is honoured more in the breach than the observance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not planning anything outside the railway fence, that it includes Mrs Jones at number 6 (and her house) who complained of the young fitter Sainty who couldn't find the DCC on the Sulzer that was broken down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted January 8, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2021 Tunnels aren't usually that shape, vertical sides in cut and cover ones though. Depends what's above it I suppose, whether it's cut and cover or bored. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted January 8, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2021 It is to be a bored tunnel. Barnbow Pit will be on top of the hill. It is a flat pack just to see where it should be. Baz 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted January 15, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2021 More testing has taken place.. this time freight stock is being tested.. Apologies for the quiet bit of video.. that was the time for the train to go round the layout. Track temporarily placed where the goods sorting sidings will be. You can tell most of the wagons are new... no weathering .. yet! Baz 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
