And I am back..................the last few weeks have not allowed too much modelling.........

The layout has an official name "Cheffley". Made up but the boss likes it!

The station area is nearly there just a few more extras needed such as benches and people which will be added in time.

The station building sits on a scratchbuilt platform - namely card covered in Redutex sheets depicting grey setts.

The embankment to the right is foam which will represent the upper town which is connected by a modified footbridge (Ratio). The station building and signal box are based on surviving structures at Midsomer Norton on the old Somerset & Dorset

some more...........

some more............ the goods shed is a modified Scalescences download kit painted in the salmon/brown of the old LSWR.

Mike,
This is coming along nicely, I'll be looking forward to your progress.

[madharry]

some more..............the lorry is a 1930's AEC built from a Cooper Craft kit. The buildings (Petite Properties) behind the station will be backed by a backscene and will be raised by foam to march up the hill to the left of the station. This will form the valley the railway sits in.

Darn good work Mike.....

[PRR Modeler]

Excellent work. I especially like the pedestrian bridge.

[madharry]

Thanks very much Jerry, Greg and Curt. The covered bridge was a bit of a trial but I got there in the end! The instructions need a complete re-write IMHO.

Mike,

This is going to be a great exhibition layout.

[madharry]

Thanks Marty, that is the intention. The layout has already a firm invite to a show next year.
