RMweb Gold Manxcat Posted February 28, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2013 Here is Glenburn, the latest N gauge Scottish based layout of the Glasgow & West of Scotland MRC. Work to get it running finished at 10pm the night before its first exhibition, namely Model Rail Scotland 2013. Designed with 4 feet width of scenery at either end because we wanted scenery to dominate the rails and not the other way around. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 37 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm salivating after catching up with this thread. What would you give to have all of these under the one roof? Loads if inspiration for all to see. No wonder Scotland's a popular subject particularly with these examples being selflessly exhibited for all to see. Thanks for posting for those that can't make it to some of the shows that are a little to far to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designed with 4 feet width of scenery at either end because we wanted scenery to dominate the rails and not the other way around. Glenburn was the highlight of Model Rail for me. We visited on the Sunday and it was quiet enough to spend a long time looking at layouts which with 8 and 4 year olds can be tricky, and thanks to the operator who allowed my wife close inspection of the brass footbridge that had only been completed on the thursday night.

It was me that you spoke to and I lifted the footbridge off the layout to let you both examine it in more detail. As you say, I had completed construction and installed it on the branch line station just before we took the layout to the show. The first loco through the station on setting up at the SECC on the Thursday fouled the underside. So we had to then prise it off and add a millimetre or so of packing under the supports so that all the stock cleared it. I'm so glad you found our layout to be the highlight of the show. It is a real bonus when someone shows their appreciation of our efforts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwrkev Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Introducing my third attempt in N gauge...a fictional branch off the Kyle line to Gairloch. The original idea came from Iain Rice's 'Light Railway Layout Designs' while the track plan is based on the suggestion for 'Roshven' in 'Modelling the British Rail Era' by Steve Flint, et al.I've been wanting to model this subject for years but don't have the space in my usual modelling scale of 4mm EM, so the introduction of the Bachmann '24' and Dapol '26' in N was all the incentive I needed.Modelling time is limited so progress is slow (the photos represent about 3 months work so far) but I will hopefully be able to post the occasional update!KevinP1060621 by GWRKev, on Flickr P1060627 by GWRKev, on Flickr 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 As my new Scottish OO 1980s Speedlink Era layout 'Springburn Yard' is now progressing well I thought I would post a couple of pics. I've been inspired by pics of J G Russell's Deanside Transit, Glasgow, Speedlink distribution depot. Progess of the layout can been seen here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/66595-springburn-yard/ Mal 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that's the main beauty of N is to have track running in a landscape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted April 24, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Eskmuir by Tony Bucknell (caley439 on here) A 4mm / 00 layout based on Brechin in 1958 to 1964. i don't often look in on this thread but i'm glad i did today! scrolling through this page, i noticed the first image and something made me think again - i recognised it straight away as brechin station front i only know it from preservation times - my dad was from brechin and in the '80s used to go up now and again to visit relatives - the station then looked very forlorn and the fledgling BRPS had not long started. (must look through stuff still at my mum's, as i joined the BRPS and i still have some of the 'basic' photocopied newsletters) it's always nice to see how far the (now) caledonian railway have got, as at the time i was 'involved' it was very much a small core of individuals trying to make the best of what small resources they had. i also just thought on how fortunate it was that the station buildings were kept - i'm sure there were many places, reduced to a small freight-only service, where the buildings would've been pulled down without a thought Edited April 24, 2013 by keefer 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
friargate Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just been looking at Eskmuir it brings back many happy memories of holidays spent in Brechin. My Father was also from Brechin, and my Grandfather was a stonemason his yard was at the top of Scott Street next to the large wooden Goods Shed that was used mainly by lime traffic for agriculture in the area. I’d spend hours in his stonemason’s yard which was shared with an agricultural merchant watching either J37s up to 1967 or later on class 26 or 27 locomotives shunting mainly coal and lime wagons in the yard. Later on I would explore the derelict engine shed and signal box now demolished. My father and grandfather would also take me with them to visit a man called Bill Stevens who was the local road sweeper; he was a very gifted model engineer and used to tell a story of how during the depression years of the 1930s the LMS stored a patriot locomotive in the shed. Angus District Libraries and Museums published a book in 1985 called The Railways of Brechin. It contains a history of the line together with diagrams of track layouts at Brechin, Montrose, Edzel and other stations. It was still available a few years ago when I was last in Brechin 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanach Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 My own stay at home effort. MEANACH. Set on the proposed but never built Tulloch to highland main line freight link. Set around 10 miles east of the west highland line, Meanach is a typical island passing loop. Mainly freight with 4 passenger trains per day. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
