Pictures from my model railway
« on: 16 June 2012, 08:53:39 pm »
As the thread about building one of the locomotives seemed to be quite popular I'm starting one for pics of various things and parts of the railway.

For the anoraks it's O gauge, 1:43.5 scale. The baseboard is 12ft. x 18 inches. It's set in the early 1960s and is supposed to depict a fictitious tar distillers/chemical works.

Here's the latest pic.

It's good. Very good. But it needs a dog pissing up one of the wheels..

 8)  I agree it's very realistic, but should there be more handrail uprights on the flight of stairs?  ;)

I'm sure there are Land Rovers elsewhere on Dave's Diorama,  I'm sure I remember pics of one in pieces or something.

He'll be along sometime to put you right!

Some good **** there Dave,  keep up the good work!

I have a series 2 in bits. I'm converting it from a truck cab to a full tilt with PTO-powered welder in the back. Only I drilled through the radiator grille and need to make a new one.

I think I posted this one on the old forum. The inside of the engineering workshop, complete with period pin-ups.  ;D

Wow :thumbs: I was fooled for a bit there.

Some real sky background in the photo would make it even better.

You say 1:43.5 but for ease of referene is that car corgi size or matchbox size?

Another request for more pics

Top work there! I had/still have though in the loft awaiting reconstruction when space is available, an 00 guage layout, though never quite in that detail!
