Revised Revised Layout

Baseboard 1 painted with back scene finished and basic track plan laid out, 2 tracks at front and rear interconnecting on the right. Learned the importance of planning as I've now had to chop the buildings and join them but consider that a happy accident as they look better as one…. Friday so the other 5/8ths wants to go for meal tonight (won't settle for crisps) so layout on hold until Sunday. …. vino tinto it is then.

Looks good Ian :thumbs

What make is the flat bed truck?


Ed

Hi Ed thanks for the encouraging comments the truck is an Oxford model of a 'Commer' I think, the other is a Bedford (maybe!)

Hi Ian.

Thought they might be Oxford.

Seeing you picture reminded me I must get some vehicle for my goods yard at some point.


Ed

T Cooper Ltd (Barrel makers) 'just like vat' completed building ready for planting, I had to reconfigure it due to space restrictions but am happy with the result …. funny thing is I keep thinking of mi vino tinto ….. might do a distillery next mmmm

So Ian do you know Rob at the the Garden restaurant at frigiliana. And are his Corgette fritters as good as claimed ?

Hi Matt not been to frigiliana yet as we're in the old town of Nerja(cheaper vino tinto and good fritters)but will check it out when we go there.

Ian

Might need to up your stocks of vino Tinto next June / July as SWMBO her brother and sis  in law are booking a 2 week trip to your area . they mentioned Nerja as being close by….me  I just do as I'm telt. 

Let us know when you're coming Matt we can hatch a plan…. 'what dear… no I was just telling Matt about your tan'… shhh

Another landmark … the first track put down … now I can start the fun scenic stuff …? … gonna need vino tinto to get the creative juices flowing!

Rail bridge (Lcut)constructed ready for planting when the track is weathered etc, I intend to place a mirror at the end of the bridge to give it some depth (talking of which my vino tinto glass is low)

Looking really good there Ian , well done mate :thumbs

Thanks Matt somehow got to put some sort of retaining wall onto the backscene near the bridge to blend it in.

Ian

Velcro it on


Cheers

Looks good Ian :thumbs

……………………. but don't let 'elf and safety see those vans being shunted with the doors open



Ed

Ian

Whay hay, I see trains !!! Well done that man and pour another vinto tinto. Moi is just off to a local amusement centre for some vin rough and food.

Enjoy your railway Ian,

Bill :) 

Good morning Bill and thanks for the encouraging remarks .. more vino tinto it is then … oh yes and thanks for the nice comment on my railway.

Ian

Revamped bridge, soon to part on a disused line …

Great build Ian, but it looks in far too good condition to be on an unused line !

Bill :)
