Albion Yard & Others

I’m not sure we’ll see an O Shelfie, but I’m not ruling it out!

"Oh yes we will..!!"

Slippery slope...

With the core landscape being blocked in, I’m starting to do my 3D ‘planning’. I use various buildings and boxes, blank tree armatures to fill in sections and see if my mental image matches the real life space and volume of the layout. It gives an early indicator of lighting issues to be addressed as well.

Brilliant Paul, both photos remind me of the sort of scene that George Iliffe Stokes used to create.

Thanks Geoff, I often use monochrome images of WIP as all you see is the structure, there’s no distraction from colours.

Shelfie 4, Maple River, currently making good progress. As usual I’m using buildings lying around the man cave to get a feel for structure size and volume. The building here dates way back to the mid noughties, and early tests on Albion Yard.

The past few days have allowed me to get on with scenic development of Shelfie 4




Heading for the rain!

'Cos although it looks good in close up photos, they are still tiny models!!

Keep the faith!!

Thank you for the comments, over the past week or so I’ve got quite a bit more done and will likely be completing it late spring. Here’s another in the meantime

Getting Shelfie 4 ready for its first outing. More work to do on bedding in buildings and view blocks on the right hand side of the layout

Sorry missed responding to your question Mark. This factory is top RHS on this picture.

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for your reply, I am very tempted, I have a few CP rail locos, and several Rapido hoppers! I would like one of the Rapido SW1200’s, one day perhaps!
