Very nice pictures, and it's good to hear your layout's coming along nicely. :)
Favourite has to be the picture of Lemburg, being a bit of an A3 boy myself. :P
Can't wait to see the layout all ballasted. :D
Thank you.

Still alot to do before ballasting. There are a few points that require wiring, plus the fiddle yard needs it's turntable and and the storage lines adding. Then I can start working out a timetable....thank goodness for the 1950 Working Time Table I have, it's my railway bible!

Tom
You're welcome.
Even though my layout will be an MPD like yours, it will be very different in terms of operation. No timetable, points are all operated by hand, maybe even the turntable will be hand operated. :lol:
I'm planning for my layout to have a lot of involvment in it. So to speak. :D
One quick question, what turntable does Leaman Road have at the moment?
Leaman Road will have two turntables, the scenic layout one is the Heljan Table....of scene in the flddleyard beyond the scenic break is a large Fleischmann table.

The Timetable is the most important part for me, as I know I would get bored letting whatever I want run, but each to their own, this way I'm running it like a typical day at York in 1950.

Couple of photos for you gents to enjoy.

60503...we have seen her on the layout before, yet to be DCC'd, but she looks rather impressive moving of the cenotaph.

60508 I don't believe has been shown before on the layout. Tim gave her a coat of Klear when he was last up, plus a touch of smoke stain. She went BR Green in April 50 I think!?! So I wanted her depicted rather clean in the new official BR livery after running in from Peterborough.

I haven't posted in Leaman Road for a bit, and thought it might be worth a go see as we have now started ballasting.

B16/1 61477 will be moving off shed to take the York-Newcastle stopping train, she will come off the train at Darlington. Her driver is drinking his cuppa while a fellow driver has a quick chat. Fireman is busy bringing the fire round....thankfully there is little clinker!

The ballasting of the track and rusting-up of the rails always makes a huge positive difference to appearances. It's quite difficult to tell from that one nice cameo shot just what the whole yard is looking like now Tom. Is the track treatment complete enough over the whole area to allow a "latest progress" overview photo?

I had thought about leaving this thread alone, but after reading through it, I figured I would give a brief update of what has been happening.

In October Tim began work on ballasting, something which I have continued and figured some of you may like to see how things are looking.

I'm finding the whole yard ballasting rather therapeutic. :)

Just caught up with this thread. Cor ta heck. Like the locos. Like the cenotaph, especially the authentic Townstreet concrete finish to the body of it. Amongst 1001 other things gestating currently in the weary old bonse, I'm pondering how to get a similar effect in plasticard for a representation of the Haymarket/Kittybrewster variety....

Anyone got any knowledge based on experience?

Layouts realy looking great - You've probably seen pics of Owen Tudor on Rmweb - If Herringbone is half as good you'll be delighted.

Ah that's interesting. At some point I'd like another A2/3 to join 60520. Straight Deal was a contender. Chamossire has to be the most intriging name

My DJH one is Hycilla.
