- This update shows off my new valance and looks at some of the figures I have painted. As promised below is the link to the video by Fos Scale Models showing the technique that I used.
• Paint a George Sellios...
Enjoyed this series of updates. Quick questions, how tall and how deep is your elevated section where the tenements are?
Hi Dan, glad you are enjoying the updates. The elevated section is 6cm (2 and 3/8 in) above track level and 8cm (3 and 1/8in) deep.
Looks great
Thanks 👍
Very nice layout and excellent job of modeling North American railroading. (Yes, I have watched Doug Foscale's video on figure painting. You've achieved excellent results with his techniques.) I may have missed it as this is the first of your videos I have seen, but could you elaborate a little on your layout lighting? It provides nice, even illumination and appears very natural.
Hi. Thanks for the great feedback and glad you are enjoying the videos. The lighting is really twofold. The room lighting itself is done with a strong daylight bulb. Then there is a 12v led strip set about 2 and a half to 3 ft above the layout. This is just the stuff you can buy in rolls with self adhesive backing and hooked up to a regulated 12v supply. If you look back at one of the earlier layout updates, it is explained better there. Hope this helps
Nice update and great looking figures!
Thank you 👍
Looking good Steve. Where did you get the detailed point rodding from the switch stand? It looks really nice.
So the switch stands were a 3d printed item from ebay. The company are in the Czech Republic and don't seem to be doing the stands anymore but I will post the link for you. The rodding to the tie bar is literally a short length of wire bent at one end and glued into the hole in the tie bar. Purely cosmetic www.ebay.co.uk/sch/railroadlc3dp/m.html
@@thebritishrailroader thanks Steve, I think I have those switch stands in that case. Nice work on the rodding, I hadn't really thought of doing it, now I'll have to!
The brewery could still have tankcars - they might ship in water, either for purity or because it's cheaper than the city water bill would be.
Also, you've got inbound bottles and cans and packaging.
Good point. Thanks for the advice. To be fair though, my siding is only about big enough for 2 cars so probably grain, bottles and cans etc in, beer out
Hi Steve, This is a nice update on your layout. My grandson says, "Where's the Dylington Custard Company distribution centre "😁. Have you seen the Railway Modellers Club AAP? It's free and run by Scale Model Scenery and is a great community. I'm on there. If you decide to join, let me know, and I'll follow you on there ... Cheers James 🙂👍
Thanks James. Tell him I don't like custard 😆. I think I am signed up to the club as have been a customer of theirs for years but will have to check 👍
@thebritishrailroader 😁 I'll tell him Steve, if you are on the Railway Modellers Club, you should post some photos of your layout . I'm sure people would enjoy seeing it if you are, and you let me know we'll follow you...cheers James 🙂👍
The figures look good, amazing the difference a wash makes.
If your going for another controller, have you thought about going Wi Throttle?
That's what I've done. Just need an NCE Interface and a Raspberry Pi3 for the WiFi.
Definitely a possibility. It is more of a thought than a reality lol
