Gary - I half expected a fully-illustrated answer to my question from you - you always go the extra mile! That looks good. I can't decide whether I prefer a wall or a fence, and whether to bring the wall around the front of the layout or leave it open to the edge. I am leaning towards a wall simply because it's cheaper and easier to build, and I do love those rusty gates that Terry posted the link to.... However... a fence would look good... Decisions... Decisions... Marty - I had wondered whether we'd see the end results of your Three Rivers experiments - thanks for sharing them today. ____________________ Mike Pig Hill Yard - a small Inglenook shunting layout for my boys, in 00. |

Hi Mike, Those gates Terry put a link to look great. You could always mix it up a bit and use those gates with a rough corrugated iron fence... A fence like this ; http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/58132-dock-green/?p=1011904 Cheers, Gary. ____________________ ...as a young lad, it was big trains for little boys, now it is little trains for big boys...! http://yourmodelrailway.net/view_topic.php?id=12116&forum_id=21 |

I couldn't resist those gates that Terry put a link to, and the wall matches the building nicely too. This is the first kit I've downloaded from Model Railway Scenery. I found it straight forward to build. It was interesting using cereal box instead of 2mm greyboard like Scalescenes kits use. It was cheap (obviously) but I found it a bit flimsy sometimes, but nothing that a bit more care could fix. Making the gate posts out of four slivers of card glued at right angles to each other was more fiddly than gluing four rectangles of card into a block like I am used to, but it worked well. The extra grab of the Rocket Card Glue really helped here. I will post more pictures of the finished build when it is, well, finished! Thanks for the link, Terry - I wouldn't have seen these excellent gates otherwise! ____________________ Mike Pig Hill Yard - a small Inglenook shunting layout for my boys, in 00. |

The wall and those gates look terrific. I do like the heavily weathered brickwork from Model Railway Scenery, very nice. Now you have to fill that yard full of junk ! Well done.

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to filling it with junk, Gary. And Terry, the cobbles are Scalescenes, they came with the High Street Backs kit.

'PASHLEY BUILDING' Complete (220 days till Christmas) I have finished the building at the headshunt end of the layout. The Boys' Big Sister decided to call the business "Pashley", so a sign was made with a phone number of her choosing. The nature of the business is yet to be decided, so the yard that you helped me decide on is still devoid of all junk. Here's the building in situ:  This shows that this side of the layout is more or less complete. You can see the building alongside the vegetation that is slowly growing along the embankment towards the bridge. I am quite pleased with how this is turning out. And the river has had four coats of PVA and is starting to look good. Only a couple more, I think. But... Back to the building. This was a build of "façade 5" from the Scalescenes Low Relief High Street Backs kit, along with the Model Railway Scenics industrial wall and gates as previously discussed. This building was notable for a few reasons:
Here it is with the sun going down on Pig Hill...  And even one with a loco for the first time! I am starting to enjoy this!  And since I was on, I couldn't resist a 'through the bridge' shot while I had the good camera out!  ____________________ Mike Pig Hill Yard - a small Inglenook shunting layout for my boys, in 00. |

Hi Mike. It looks great. The whole scene really ties in well and I don't blame you for wanting the through the bridge shot as it just doubly confirms its realism. Excellent Toto |

Excellent work Mike Why don't you just get the kids some football gear for Christmas, and keep the layout for yourself?  Terry |

A quick update (211 days till Christmas) Thank you everyone - your encouragement is always appreciated! Terry - yes, the 'ownership' of the resulting Christmas present may be an issue that is yet to be resolved!  Progress has slowed a little on Pig Hill - it's been a busy couple of weeks, and the fun quick-fire work is now complete. It's not been a complete standstill though. We now have: The Stream The stream has had four coats of PVA on top of the browny-green paint. It looks good. Every photo seems to make it look quite cloudy, and it is a little bit, but is generally stream-looking and is better in the flesh. I don't think I will give it any more coats, but a top coat of gloss varnish may be called for at a later date...  Left-end scenery I have completed the scenery on the left end. More of the same really. Various shades of Woodland Scenics foliage, bushes, scatters and rough turf. I used a bit of foliage glued to the backscene behind the bridge abutment which looks vaguely tree-like...  The Edward Stanley building Work has started on this Scalescenes build. The right end of the layout will be dominated by this warehouse. This is a four-module-long part of the frontage. It will be 7 modules long by 4 deep, part ultra-low-relief, and part not. As someone else pointed out on this forum - there is a lot of cutting involved with this one!  ____________________ Mike Pig Hill Yard - a small Inglenook shunting layout for my boys, in 00. |

Just read this layout right through, looking good.there is a lot of cutting involved with this one! That's why I now cheat and use a plotter cutter for the card cutting, I can import jpgs, pngs or most other image formats also PDFs into the plotter cutter software. For buildings with no fancy detail like arched lintels or decorative brick work, I print brick or stone textures to A4 labels, stick that onto the card then cut, for things with more detail I print the building walls with all the detail, cut plain card in the machine then stick the printed wall with detail onto the cut card, it's much easier just hand cutting window and door openings in paper than card! It is possible to cut detailed items, but getting the registration exact can be a PITA, especially to get the opening cut exact in something like this window surround, an alternative is to print the surrounds separately and then stick them on after.  ____________________ Cheers MIKE I'm like my avatar - a local ruin! |
