A belated happy birthday from me

I still check the forums to see what's been happening but haven't been able to do much with my layout from lack of time.
Hoping to do some more soon.

How much would you want for the lot?

Always a shame to loose a T gauger (Far to few of us) but it's good to pass the torch (T Gauge bits ) to someone else.

Where about's in south London are you?

Just a small update but finally made a start on the bridge railings, just painting and weathering to go.

I'm still wanting to try and do a class 73, Just finding time.

Got very close to ordering a Form1 3D printer but wasn't sure how much duty I'd have to pay on top to ship to the UK (Keep hoping there'll be an importer).

Bit blurred as its hard to get a focus.
First attempt at 2 aspect signal.

Some ballast on the bridge now,

More progress,

I've been using some noch flock.
Have two greens and a brown. I mix some amounts together so it looks a bit more natural.


Finally painted the girders, next is the other abutment.

More fading signs of once prosperous times

The grass is still a bit wet so has a light colour at the moment.

I've used some MDF (not sure if it has same name in the US).
Is cheap, strong, easy to cut etc.

Works well with watered PVA glue, doesn't balloon up. Unless you get it really wet.

That's a very nice brick finish. What have you used to achieve it?

I downscaled some N gauge brick styles.
I did the main structure in card then glued the printed brick on.

Embankment starting to build up.

Settled on a name now too, Little Tee

Bit more progress.

Little bit of brickwork.

Thanks Doug, That was a very fiddly task.
Think the strips of plasticard where about 1mm and a pain to glue down

Next step is adding the brickwork before glueing down then building up the embankments.

Trying another feature out, will be a rail over rail bridge.

Looking really good.

Not sure if copper would be the best though, it doesn't have much spring.
Saw this company mentioned on rmweb for etching, http://www.ppdltd.com/web_site_3/page_1_intro.html

Thought I'd finally get a layout topic going, no name yet. Inspiration came from a now gone line near Manchester. http://www.penmorfa.com/Wrexham/ten.html http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z184/Alex-Cami/T%20Gauge/IMAG0180.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z184/Alex-Cami/T%20Gauge/IMAG0255.jpg...
