Thank you Andrew. Great images and would appreciate the larger size. Very atmospheric.

Have you thought of building the layout as it was just before steam was banned? Give you an excuse to have an A1? Or an A4? Metalsmiths do a good turntable..... AND you can still have your diesels.

I'm finding it difficult to focus without these distractions! Hmm A4...

Oh dear, Sunday at SVR last year is begining to seep in I fear, all those steam trains and beer LOL

I've got a Finney A4 and tender under my bench, I'd forgotten about that until the previous post

I'd like to do Kings X in 61 but I know of two other layouts almost exactly the same except dates so a third would be unwise, Camden maybe? But that's a bigger prototype to model well.

And you wouldn't want more layouts of KX because.........?

Duplication is a waste of my time and probably someone else, if we all made the same thing or just modeled a mere handful of prototypes we'd all be the poorer for it, I'm not that hung up on not doing Kings X, for me it's more important to do something that no one else has and thus add more variation to the modeling scene

 

[alcazar]

I suppose...but if KX is what YOU want, then why not?

This is long overdue an update but unfortunately I've not been that busy on the layout. Luckily a fellow modeller at Sudbury club is also modelling Kings Cross though an early time frame.

I'm sure he won't mind but here are some pictures of the baseboards and Ian has captured the look and feel of the location before a single sleeper has been laid.

Hi Phil,

Impressive boards! What are those black knob things used to join them from?

Cheers
