How strange, there's a boar head not far from me, next to a railway line, and there's also a tower? :cheers:

You should put a cow or a moose near the railway! The station master should have something to do while waiting for the train! :D

I have a dog already,but I'll be on the look out for a dinosaur :D

What a sweet looking little project! I've always thought model trains were really cool, what did you use to form the hill? I think its cool that you added another dimension to it rather than leaving it flat. Looks great :tu:

Cheers mate,it's made up of cardboard,filler,kitchen roll and curse words. Chako put in a link to his layout,check it out,you'll find it interesting :pok:

Ooh! A dinosaur!! Best would be a T-Rex ready to eat the passenger. But then station master scolds the t-Rex so it goes away pouting...
Oh, dear.. I should go to bed now! I'm getting totally crazy :o

Not much of an update, but one pic


The complete folly,now in its permanent place, with a wash of Games Workshop ink,and dry brushed enamel. I'm rather pleased with it :D

And there's a musing...

I think one of the videos shows a small blue diesel shunter. This had cost me next to nothing years back,but I'd had to strip,lubricate and tweek. But my goodness,its a good runner on this layout! Its short wheel base,and small diameter wheels really suit the tight bends :D

Likewise,the American style boxcars,the gondola wagon the SAK is to be mounted on,really run well,far better than than the British and German wagons. Again small diameter wheels,and,critically,they're boggy mounted! Oh,and I've a caboose on its way too :facepalm:

Bit of an update...

Been repainting the ground work in Humbrol Enamels.




Here with the base coat of no29 dark earth,and a highlight of a50/50 mix of 29 and no94 brown yellow



The same mix was used for the pathway from the pub to the folly.

A high highlight was added using no250 desert sand(pink).






I think its a step in the right direction,and it's starting to feel like it has my style :D

Next is getting the grass laid

Well,I got the tree roots covered before I went over to the club tonight. I'm debating whether or not to start laying some more in now :think:


I wonder if I've got any hair spray left anywhere :think:

Thank you,everyone!

If you are planning out the pub surely you need to do plenty of field research first!

For those of you contemplating a soothing pint,here's a few pics of the pub in situ...







And yes,that is a Pz.Kpfw38(T) parked out front

English locomotives pulling American rolling stock past a pub guarded by a Czech tank?  :think:  Works for me.  :)  That looks great Kirky!  :tu:  Though you are to blame for me looking at N-scale sets now.....

I'm ignoring this thread too,  and ignoring the urge to build a N scale layout in a glass top coffee table.

@JD and PTRSAK: I'm posting this link again guys,there's no shortage of lowcost ideas here  :pok:

The other thing,is you can download files to print off your own paper building kits,which can take a lot of punch out of the costs :pok:
