Hi Dave,
Excellent thread and thank you for posting. I saw the layout at Railex, and was very impressed with it. It was the way you had so convincingly fit a whole station into a relatively small space. Looking forward to the arrival of MRJ, and seeing the layout again in the, hopefully, not too distant future.

I had been watching this develop on the other channel. It is so impressive. The track layout flows so nicely.
I did notice the signals have a socket and plug design. Is that your own thing or are they out sourced?
I love this layout too. Beautifully designed and executed. A real.inspiration.
And I love it that you're not afraid of colour.
Thanks Phil, glad you like the layout The phrase “bucolic branch line” certainly sums Sherton Abbas up, not much happens and that’s exactly how I like it!WOW, I have just caught up with this and I have to say that it's a fantastic looking layout, I look forward to seeing it in the flesh one day. Great modelling that seems to capture the atmosphere of a bucolic branch line.
Hi glad you like the layout There are 3 scenic boards, 2 of them are 4 foot square and one is 4 foot 6 inches long and four feet deep. This gives a scenic area of 12 foot 6 inches by 4 foot deep.Thats a lovely layout you have built there what are the dimensions of the scenic boards.
Thanks KeithThis really is terrific work. I have just spent my early morning reading the thread and as others have said it is truly inspirational.
Beautiful.

Hi Adam, yes I really hope the show goes ahead! I’m hoping to combine the weekend with a visit to the Bluebell Railway, somewhere I’ve not been since my student days in London 40 years ago! Hope to see you in October thenUckfield you say? Assuming it happens that’s local to me! I couldn’t get near it at Railex last year and then got chatting rather than coming back to see it properly. I’ll look forward to it.

Hi John, I used a fine elastic thread called EZ line. A tiny dot of cyanoacrylate is all that’s need to hold it in position on the signal posts. I also used it for my fencing and telegraph wires. If you can’t find it online let me know and I’ll post a link to the supplier that I used.Dave can I ask what you used for signal wire? I recently wrestled with some on my layout and was grateful that I needed very little. You have it looking rather well and I am interested to know how you achieved that.
Regards
John
