Card and plastic kits, with the exception of the Haulage building and the small station called Barton Town
which are Scratchbuilt, as are the brick walls and embankments/retaining walls . I'm afraid my Scratchbuilding capabilities are very mediocre. I do occasionally try, but I must admit card or plastic is so much easier

Just thought I would post some more pics.
Main difference, lots more trees and a cable laying
scene along the industrial estate road.








Well that's about it for the moment.
Have fun and have a cup of tea.

Very nice balanced layout with lots of interesting features, thanks for the update on your progress well done.

First of all my humblest apologies, have not been on site for a long while.
Most of the buildings are card kits, the viaduct was a OO kit bashed about.
The Haulage Warehouse was scratch built as where the bridges and walk
through to the supermarket. The walling around the supermarket is also
scratch built, as is the concrete fencing and all the trackside wire fencing.

Lots of work there - well done.

Lots of detail - I like the guys laying the cable - it's little things like that, that are easy to miss, but suddenly catch your eye. Well done, look forward to seeing more. BB

Here is the latest addition to my rolling stock.
I think it is pretty cool. Went halves with a mate.
Has just arrived this morning.

Hi here are some more photo's of improvements, namely the two cable vans now have correct signage.






This is my latest addition to the Ensbury Park bit



Does anyone have any Dapol light bar Mk1 coaches to sell and I need two Mk2 coaches, which do not
have to be light bar ready, I need the two Mk2 to make up the escort coaches for the KUA Nuclear train.
Keep smiling folks, things can only get worse.

Hi one and all, hope all well and safe.
Here is a pic of my latest bit of work, converting two
carriages into DRS Escort coaches. The spill of paint
onto the roof of one has since been removed.
Both coaches have been fitted with Train Tech light bars.
The last coach also has a flashing rear red light, looks really cool.


This one now shows the complete train.


Keep safe everyone.

Good job.
