    :thumbs: Trees look nice Roger, should finish Johns back scene off nicely.
    There should be a few pictures ready to post up on Friday once the layout is assembled ready for the show this weekend.

    Here are some pictures from today.










    Terry has been busy with a section from the old club layout “Alton” carrying out extensive scenic working and building a road bridge then all detailed in his usual way with lots of little cameo’s












    Great day, layout was well received and there were plenty of close up photos been taken by the public which is always a good sign.
    Great effort by the team to get Johns first attempt at building and showing his home layout ready for the big day. :tophat::thumbup:

    Fantastic work. Beautiful lush scenery and a huge undertaking looking at the size of the layout. Spot on chaps. ( thanks for flying the P1 colours )

    cheers

    Day 2.

    Out with a few of my locomotive stock that have been fitted with sound and smoke units. Plus Ali’s 9F and Malcolm’s King class.



    Malcolm looking “chuffed’ having managed to get the “southern’s’ to remove their stock and replace it with some proper GWR rolling stock.
    Well done Mal :thumbup:


    SVR Preserved 4MT which ended up sold on the day after a member of the public loved it so much.




    Ali’s 9F trundles light engine around to collect some tank wagons



    Terry was also busy, changing the diarama display. Note the hearse’s have coffins in them.




    And finally, keeping tradition going, the winner and wearer of the knitted hat (thanks again to Peter’s wife aka zdownunder) due to the three strike running rule was ......Ali, who changed a macro that sent a passenger train up a tank wagon siding, creating a short and a near Miss with a second train on the other running line. Nice one Ali, three in one go :thumbs:


    And again here modelling a nice little number from “dress to impress”


    I will not be there for the third day, so best of luck to John, have a great day and keep them wheels on the track.

    Congratulations John. On winning the award for best group layout. It really is a beautiful layout and when you look back to September and the first post in this thread you really have done an amazing job. I hope that I get a chance to come and visit you in Perth and see it close up.
    Well Done!!!

    28 months !! Since an update :redface:

    finally got “up north” to see John and his layout today. A lot has happened, the original board is still as was but there’s a new station board in front plus the one end board has had scenic work added, plus there’s a new fiddle yard at the back for the “small” amount of stock John has amassed. Finally a new board on a different level where John will build a 4 lane engine shed and add a turntable....hopefully John will be joining the forum and keeping us all updated on his railway empire...in the mean time a little video.
