RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted August 22, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2021 Morning all. Another 'testing and evaluating' session seems likely today. Pesky shoulder is still providing a bit of a distraction so limits could be placed upon the adding of the DAS if started today. I prefer to get this done in one go so I may leave this for another day. Updates to no doubt follow. Rob. 2 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would leave the DAS work for now if poss. Morning George. I cannot disagree with that. R&D ( running and development ) is to the fore today methinks. To be quite honest, I've not fully settled on how I will approach the waters edge so more research would be appropriate prior to commencing DAS stage 1. So I shall perhaps defer to books and comics..........once I have finished playing trains. Rob. 5 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceptually, Darling, Project X, remains that of a bucolic backwater in East Anglia with an ever so and one hopes none too boisterous, sylvanian aspect. One would also hope that the juxtaposition arising from the minimalist use of carefully selected small buildings, intrinsically coupled with a few undeniably delicate, and dare I say, dainty, trees and such like, will impart an ethereal fragility to the whole jolly little scene when viewed in the stark isolation of the Cameo genre. The presence of a water feature, I am confident to propose, will add to the relaxed ambience of the scene as a whole, and result in something which is not only aesthetically pleasing but is capable of captivating and holding that most laissez-faire of viewers, despite the overall and undeniably simplistic nature of the offering.

The beat up shed is from the Bachmann Pendon range. Discontinued a while age but plenty on ebay though quite expensive. If memory serves me right Lord and Butler had a couple in stock last time I was there a couple of weeks ago. Priced at £9.95 if I recall correctly. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium SteveyDee68 Posted August 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) @AdeMoore - Various resin buildings can also be had from www.anyscalemodels.com - he has a whole 1:76 range available, lots of Scottish vernacular but also more generic structures too. All the models come unpainted, but at £5.50 for a tin shed/waiting room for example, two might be had for the price of a single Bachmann Scenecraft building! Other buildings cost more (or even less) and he does various boats, too! No connection other than a happy customer!

There are a few stunning layouts hereabouts that are either based in winter or autumn to good effect. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
