Paul M Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Very much a table top TT120 for me. Track laid and ballasted. Landform drying out. Go to get scatter tomorrow. Station, halt, pub and church all delivered. Anyone know the width of the terraced houses please? Not sure if the quoted dimensions get width and depth mixed up. Just need to know how many to order to fit the space for a terrace. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul M Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Got a terraced house today, just need 4 more now to complete the street. Got 2 shops too. And a forest full of trees. Only went in for scatter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMD Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I’m increasingly loving the simplicity and yet effectiveness of this scenic solution. Avoids the sense of a tail-chaser without sacrificing the benefits of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunmarc88 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Looking great! Is that a station halt in the back corner? The church looks great in its own plot of land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie 66 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago You've done a great job getting your tones right to merge into the backscene - that's something I'm going to be trying to do fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a pub to go there, but the size and style was wrong, so now got an unused pub. I put the little extension part of the station in there as a hut, and only use the main part of the station. I have put a S&C waiting room on a small platform in the opposite corner to the station as a countryside halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunmarc88 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago That pub is a little on the large side isn’t it. I like a corner halt, a good use of that waiting room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Would you give us a 'closer to eye level' shot? Am interested to see how much elevation you have in the hills, and how much it hides the rear lines. Just if you get half a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am interested to see how much elevation you have in the hills, and how much it hides the rear lines. Just if you get half a chance! Will do. I need to go over the track with a rubber and get the trains back on, waiting for the final layers of scatter to dry completely first, so might be tomorrow. I built and painted a rockface on the far side before fixing the hill down, but it can't be seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMD Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Excellent Paul - thanks for taking the time. Amazing how effective a gentle hill and a tree line can be, and without the hassle of a tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
