Kelvin B Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The making of BOWFORD - OO layout. Â Hi all I averaged about four hours a day - but at 74 years old the max was 6 hours a day. Also the baseboards were 'used' ones having been salvaged from a previous layout by my friend who's layout it is. Another comment I would make is that adding all the 'stone cast' buildings etc. does make the baseboards very heavy, but my friend already had them all and had to be used to keep costs done. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play of light on the hill is very reminiscent of your backscene.   I think the gradient here gets up to 1 in 24 so the locos have to work hard, but in this case there was a diesel on the other end. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very similar indeed! Thanks for sharing, great photo. It's so pleasing to see a scene which looks so similar to my model photo - though usually it's the other way round! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
