Paper Plane's Model Railway Thread

[Paper Plane]

If anyone happens to be in Mansfield this weekend, the latest boxfile set will be at an exhibition in St. Peter’s Church Hall, all weekend.

Would be good to meet any members who might be around.

This a section of a layout that the group that I am part of is building. It is 7mm to the foot scale, so roughly twice the size of my layouts.

The area in the picture is (very) roughly 3ft x 2ft, possibly a bit more. The intent is show a typical area on the backstreets of Hull in the early 1960s. There is much work still to be done.

Should anyone be in the vicinity of Thirsk on 31st July, I will be making an exhibition of myself in the Town Hall with my latest UK layout.

Yep. Same guy, same Peugeot 206.

I would love to see some Detroit muscle instead.

If I may be permitted a little trumpet blowing, the ‘ATG’ boxfile layout (see above) is featured in the latest (August) edition of Continental Modeller magazine.

TBH I have no real interest in railways, but I really appreciate the level of detail and the skill involved to create these, they're amazing! I particularly like little touches like the tyre tracks where the forklift's been operating in the ones on page three. Thank you for posting.

Great admirer of any and all craft skills.

What I find particularly impressive is the degree of realism, the gentle layer of dust and time worn wear on the roofs if the buildings, trucks and engines.

Very impressive.

If I could make any suggestion at all it would be to have a link in your signature box to the photographic history of your modelling.

Wonderful thread! Memories of my Dad came rushing back. He was a big fan of model railroading. Thank you.

I have mentioned in the past, a layout that is being built by a group of which I am a member. Progress has slowed due to you-know-what but it has picked up slowly. I was sent this image today of some recent work that has been recently carried out.

Thanks for looking.

A bit more, ahem, trumpet blowing.

The ‘ATG’ layout appears on the November issue of Model Rail magazine.

Law enforcement in 1:87 scale.

Not technically correct for my US layout as Michigan police vehicles are blue.
