The advantage of a light contruction. the entie layout, albeit without backscene. Note all the junk from 'Im' and 'Er'!

Model Railway Layouts by Chris Nevard @ fotopic.net

Midland 1P 0-4-4 No. 58086 (Craftsman kit) is seen here in a mock-up of the site of the level crossing. The Glastonbury canal can be seen to the right, it will look a little like it did at Bason Bridge next to the dairy with addional supports in the earthy bank to stop the railway sliding into the River Brue (or Glastonbury Canal in this case). In the immediate foreground the road will cross over the canal via a bridge. Once the road passes over the railway it will fork sharp left and disappear round a bend behind some trees or bushes. Previous | NextThe beginnings of Catcott crossing keeper's cottage. In recent years the building has been rendered with pebbledash and doors have been moved. When the line was open the roof was slated and the brick was visible with the stone lintels. I'll be adding slates individually from paper, nothing beats that, albeit time consuming. When adding the bargeboards I'll portray the typical S&D curley wirley ones, Whilst this building didn't have them, many did. This will ensure that the layout can be 'placed' even without stock. The corners are in fact mtrired at 45 degrees, not that it is obvious here.
