Sometimes the journey is more enjoyable than arriving at the destination.

I was about to say something similar Chris . At least Larry is doing rather than just thinking about doing .

I can understand the frustration Larry is having with 4mm scale, having built up a small collection of 7mm locos and stock.

For me there is something about the mass of 7mm locos (especially with my whitemetal locos) that the 4mm models cannot replicate

I think 7mm modelers are better off with track than their 4mm counterparts. RTR is not perfect, but so much better looking. But it depends what part of the hobby interests you.

Good morning Larry,

Having acquired the Rapido 16xx from you, subject to posting, I was wondering if you would be also interested in selling some of the layout structures please?

In particular, the signal box, water tank and goods shed?

No problem if not.

Cheers, Nigel.

This really is not a conversation for the forum. Please use a PM.

Thanks

My OO was going quite well until I saw the Bachmann 0 - 16.5 Welsh Narrow Gauge stuff. All the best Larry, I feel your pain my friend.

Welcome back to 00, Larry....

Haha, I've sold all the '00'.

I think he was referring to when you buy it all back again.

The goods shed was too big, so I worked out how much could be removed from the width without it looking too obvious. 10mm out of the doorway plus 15mm out of the end wall should do the trick, so I set too on yet another kit....




I always had a preference for a blank wall...


Quite a saving to allow the signalman a reasonable view down the line.....


Still no room for a lorry behind the shed....It's all kidology! I'll complete the shed now.....

Good luck with this one Larry

Holding a roof down while the glue sets.....



The sliding door was attached temporarily for photos....


Doors suspended by brass wire pushed into holes. A new office added .....

 

[LarryG]

With being mainly a desk modeller, the layout is coming on very slowly. Lack of space for a wide baseboard has restricted things a bit, but a small gap behind the primer-painted goods shed looks better than that structure pushed up against the backscene...



Pieces of timber and a coach have helped me to visualise things and determine the run-round length. I'm leaving space beyond the crossover for a small tender loco.....

 

[Gismorail]

Hi Larry I have to give you ten out of ten for determination with another return to 7mm once you get things running you will know that you have made the right choice …… just keep focused as I do enjoy your modelling experiences

 

[Muddysblues]

Less is more Larry, Geoff’s Bleddfa Road is proof of this …. as Martin “Gismorail” says keep the focus

Best regards
Craig

Aye, but I'm happy with less Craig, whereas I suspect Larry wants a little more
