Mr Betjeman's light (relief) railway

[JimRead]

Hello all,

The model is called Moxley not far from Bilston.

Old Ephraim nearly falls over backwards as he sees Mr Betjeman coming out of the back door, knowing full well what's going to happen. "Ahhhhh!" says Mr Betjeman, "I'm glad your here I was just going to the caff for an egg and tomato dip sandwich" (Mr Betjeman's dad had sent him to his factory to learn a proper trade, making fountain pens and paid him accordingly)

"Now your here Ephraim I shall recite my new poem, 'Bathing Belles at Bilston Baths'..."

Cheers - Jim

That is gorgeous Jim, a truly inspirational picture. As I said before, I’ve been following your work for a while and absolutely love it and your concept behind your builds. Any chance of some time giving more details regarding how you build structures, materials used etc - without giving too many of your ‘trade secrets’ away.
Regards, Bandit Mick.

Hello Mick and Hello Barry and Hello TWD and Hello Wtd and Hello Puddle and Hello Mr Bones,

Good of you all to comment I am grateful.

The building is made from a photograph, I did try making some from brick paper and failed. I failed to make a OO layout, but did make a couple of Scalescenes freebies, those taught me how to.

I went to Sheffield several times on a Sat or Sun afternoon, took lots of pics, they are printed onto Tesco's cheapo paper and coated with a protective CD spray. I was quite surprised that the windows looked OK.

I only do low relief ones though that's enough for me.

I'm going to make another micro layout, and thinking of starting a thread with the whole build from baseboard, with built in controller, easy and simple traverser, DIY track and points etc etc.

Cheers all - Jim
