I live in the UK and model UK, Goathland is based on a real station and Kalborough is generic
I have a number of station in my loft, some more advanced than others,Goathland a preservation station usually running 1960s with Heartbeat or occasionally Harry Potter, Kalborough an almost modern station with a near by preservation station in reality Nene Valley but here in my loft the aforementioned Goathland, there are also diorama sections and we plan a Blackpool trams... a taster
Is there a spot for 00 gauge, or should I just jump in?
I run our layout both vanilla (I.e. true to life and of an era) and really tutti fruiti
I have at least one US friend who runs Goathland for Harry Potter
But British locomotives have a lot of other film connotations allowing many tongue in cheek moments,and because of cosplay you can often find real photographs to prove this occurs in real life another show I know to be popular in the US IS Doctor Who so a quick taster while I go look for a home for the layout, really enjoying the US rolling stock
Thank you for the kind welcome
I have now set up in the other gauges area, feel free to pop in and chat
Daleks...THunderbirds, Harry Potter will be found there pls water features and vanilla modelling in era, I am a great fan of weathering ruling stock and scenic detail and once set up will be coming and looking at other people’s work, so far I have fallen over some ray worI, and fallen into the coffee lounge, lovely forum,thank for having me
I don't think anyone's going to teach you any scenery/weathering tricks. That foam at the waters edge is absolutely brilliant. As far as US Railroads go, you will be learning a new lingo though. Actually I've just noticed my post no longer tells I'm in Quinslund, Orstraya, formerly from N'zilund, so a mix of British types of equipment and terminologies here and some US steam influences over "the ditch" (Tasman Sea). I always like to show a pic of their 1930's K, Ka or Kb "Northerns"
Welcome to the forum! I like your kalborough scene....
and a great name which she can point out the connections or not.
