Dave the Busker Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Just saw your message TT, pity there's no PM, is there a way to message you somewhere else? That would be very kind of you if you're not needing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Busker Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 An update on this week. I've built a few more card kits from the wordsworthmodelrailway.co.uk site, boiler chimney, a couple more houses and a church. Nothing in the photos is fixed down yet, which is why the roads look like the council needs to give them some attention! I'm not gluing anything until I'm certain the track is in the right place.

Dave the Busker Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Here's a wee update video on how things are coming on:I've added a few new buildings since my last YouTube post so the town is starting to look pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Loving the sound tracks 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Busker Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Cheers! I've been kinda torn on using sound or not. It does make it more atmospheric, but I don't want to give the impression that this is what you'll get with a sound fitted train given that it's all post-production sound effects I'm using. I might well upgrade to DCC and sound once I've seen what this new system and app looks like in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ateshci Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 @DaveIf you plan to keep these paper structures permanently, protect them by applying transparent varnish from both sides, in and out. Moisture, even that from air, has a tendency to make them warp over time if you don't coat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Busker Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Thanks Ateshci, yeah some matt varnish spray is on my to-do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I like the atmospheric feel to the sounds. As a teenager, one of my favourite train watching places was alongside the ECML south of Thirsk where the original Thirsk Junction used to be, between the Deltics and 125s at full speed was the sound of Yellow Hammers and nature just doing its thing. I might see about a background sound track for High Fell and let the locos make their sounds too 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Busker Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 I've been enjoying the High Fell videos, your layout looks fantastic! Love all the scenic detail you've got in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Busker Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 For someone 6'5 with massive bass players hands and occasionally clumsy to the point of verging on mild dyspraxia, I'm pretty happy with how this ridiculously fiddly detail came out - 'Give Way' sign on a cut down toothpick!

Rallymatt Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Doing fine work like this is known to have quite a few health benefits, improving memory, cognitive function, dexterity, hand /eye coordination etc. in just a few months I know I am much better with fine details than back at the start 😁 Think I might need some special glasses though!

Dave the Busker Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 Absolutely! I've also found that I'm feeling significantly calmer for doing all this after a frankly horrible start to the year. It's been therapeutic to sit and spend some time just focusing on doing something and forgetting everything that had been stressing me out for a while.

Rallymatt Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Ditto, it’s so great when you realise that you are calmer, I had a moment about a month ago when it washed over me like a warm breeze, I was doing some modelling bits and everything was great. This and getting out on bicycles are my go to therapy 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Busker Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 My cat Tink passed away at the start of last month, so I was wanting to get some cats onto my layout to remember her with. This pack arrived from Noch this morning. Tink was a tiny cat, but not THIS tiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Nice idea to remember her on your layout, perhaps somewhere watching the trains go by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Busker Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Aye, really small! I'm glad I'd ordered Tacky Wax at the same time and got the cats stuck in place or one ill timed sneeze and they're gone!I've been working on the town's factory a bit more this morning.
