Nova Scotia Northern Progress

[grumbeast]

Well here are more photos, while I had the camera I thought I'd take a few quickly of my home layout (still very very much a work in progress.. no sections are finished yet). I should've had some trains on the layout for the pics but I didn't have much time sorry!

Graham

Here is the engine servicing facility

Your going to have to borrow the camera more often to keep us posted.

That's a finely built area Graham. I can imagine it with rolling stock on it....(but need pics ).

I see you are like me as far as ballasting goes, I chicken out of ballasting switches! .

Do keep posting pics though, I like the way your's is turning out.

[grumbeast]

Here is the site of the future "bluebell chocolates" factory.
Lots of operating potential and a great load for the gauge
boxcar!

Views of the harbour in development. You know you are unemployed when you carve a sea wall by hand!

It's lookin' great grum! Really coming along!

Where ya been? You're missed on day chat!

 

[grumbeast]

here is a bridge running next to a lake (there will be another town in the background...)

 

[grumbeast]

The room.. aaargh!.. why didn't I paint skyboard all over the room first!!!

 

[grumbeast]

Part of the town of Bedwas, notice the red star cafe where my LPPs drink espresso's and discuss the atrocious working conditions on other railroads

 

[kettlestack]

WOW!!

My goodness! your firt pic gave me the impression it was a single board layout Graham. That's a Huge layout by my reckoning!

A splendid job you've made of the sea front, from the wall and the effect of the water and cliffs in the background.

Your LPP's must know about how I drive my staff!! but then, when I chastise them they just freeze and say nothing .

Thanks for the pics sir.

LOL espresso, eh? Decaf?

 

[MCL_RDG]

I love it!

I wish I were that far along. I got a lot of stuff in boxes. I like the feel of the tracks going thru the towns. Your sea wall is beautiful- calm waters in the bay.

Thanks for the inspiration.

[Tyson Rayles]

Looking good!

 

[SD90]

Wow! That's some good modeling, do you have a track plan? I like the lake, it looks really good, is it Envirotex?

Mike.

PS, more pictures please!

 

[roryglasgow]

Wow! Your layout is looking great! I really like that lake, too. I sure wish I had that much space!

 

[grumbeast]

SD90,

I'll try and put a track plan tgether, although its evolving a bit.

the water is actually painted plaster with four or five coats of varathane (I recently refinished a floor so I thought I would try it

Thanks for the comments!! I'll get more pics as I make progress and borrow a camera!!
