richrua Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 been trying a little scenery in my branchline station. It will be a fictional spot just off the GNR somewhere. I'm finishing off a version inspired by knockmore signal cabin for the throat of the station. a small waiting room eventually on the platform. needs a little more scenic weeds etc but i am getting there...

richrua Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 thanks. the slopey roof is not ideal for the backscene, but beggars cant be choosers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Looking good, Rich. How do the parts detach from the card? cut each one with the Stanley/utility knife? Looking forward to the finished item... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wow, I Just developed a renewed interest in card kits (given some time). I guess I assumed they were a 'printed box' Nice job, Rich=D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Loving it rich - smashing job on the signal box, and the cottage?

leslie10646 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Rich Looking at your scenery - what are you doing building a layout in MY loft? Actually, yours looks a lot less cluttered with wood than mine! But I've got sloping sky as well. Thanks for the ideas, which work!

ttc0169 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Lovely work richrua particularly on the signal cabin,I was very tempted with those excellent card kits at the exhibition-but settled for some SSM 42'wagons instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
