This is the first episode in my new series about my progress in building a small portable OO9 gauge layout. In this episode I go over how the layout began, how I built the lower scenic section and the bridge builds for the layout.
I’ve been dabbling in OO9 for as many years as I’ve been modelling in OO (about 30 years!). The Bachmann Baldwin was nearly enough to kickstart a layout, as was my conversion of Skarkoey to Talyllyn No. 1. But now I’ve got two Fairlies coming at Christmas, I’ve finally started doing something about an actual layout. I really enjoyed both the modelling and your presentation in this video, so I’ve subscribed and I’ll be following the rest of the series with interest. Thank you.
Thanks Tom, glad you have enjoyed my videos. The fairlie certainly is a beauty of a model I can see why it would give you the urge to start a new layout, sounds like your gonna have a great Christmas good luck with the new project.
I think the problem was using solvent free grip glue. Proper gripfill would take the foil ok and still go off. But as you showed, peeling the foil off was a work around
@@WesternSignalman But this is what's great about your delivery ....you don't mind admitting faults. There are too many arrogant you tube channels even just in the model railway world, showing errors and rebuilds is what makes a good channel
@@davidparker2724 thank you, I do appreciate that. I’ve still got a little further to go with the layout it needs the road and river doing and I have a scene at the front which i still haven’t quite worked out what it’s going to be.
Thanks, yes it was all brushed on I used lifecolors debris and rubble paint set, lime motor, broken tile and broken brick. The stone work is lifecolor stone colours green stone, sandstone and a hint of blue stone. Weathering was done with a mix of lifecolor rail weathering paints and ak interactive washes.
