New Haden Colliery | Staffordshire Finescale

https://staffordshirefinescale.wordpress.com/new-haden-colliery

New Haden Colliery was built by several members of our group whilst they were members of Stafford Railway Circle. And is now in the ownership of Geoff Cook. The model depicts a North Staffordshire colliery, including its internal railway, exchange sidings and a stretch of the Creswell to Cheadle branchline. The layout was featured in Issue 2 of the RMweb. 8220;Modelling Inspiration” e-mag, a copy of the article can be found here. While the full e-mag is here. 4 thoughts on “ New Haden Colliery.

Iain Robinson - Modelmaking: Goods; Onwards and Inwards

http://iainrobinsonmodels.blogspot.com/2015/07/goods-onwards-and-inwards.html

Iain Robinson - Modelmaking. Goods; Onwards and Inwards. Modelling a GWR goods shed in 4mm/ft. Time was, when almost every town had a railway station, and every station had a goods shed. Then, as we all know, railways became the clumsy person in a political game of musical chairs. As we enter yet another doubtful phase of the game, with ever fewer chairs left, let's step back instead to the late nineteen forties, a time of optimism and hope for the network. To include the roof trusses and beams so that t...

Iain Robinson - Modelmaking: Northwood Distribution in 4mm scale

http://iainrobinsonmodels.blogspot.com/2015/06/northwood-distribution.html

Iain Robinson - Modelmaking. Northwood Distribution in 4mm scale. Remember when road transport companies had sensible names like "Bloggs Haulage"? These days it's all "Logistics" and "Solutions" although I do appreciate that most of today's outfits are tied up with warehousing and distribution, offering the whole "package". Something the railways offered, of course, in depth- before that drone Beeching and his friend Mr Marples went about picking it all to pieces. An un painted and undetailed view of the...

Foundry Lane | Staffordshire Finescale

https://staffordshirefinescale.wordpress.com/foundry-lane

This was my first project since returning to the hobby and my first experience of modelling in EM gauge. For these reasons the objective was to produce a small, simple layout on which I could practice the necessary skills. The track-plan is based upon the Timesaver shunting puzzle, more commonly associated with US shelf-switcher layouts. Motive power for the layout consists of modified ready-to-run locomotives by Bachmann, Heljan and Hornby. Appropriately for the era and area modelled, BR Derby-Sulze...

Welcome to Oswestry Works | Oswestry Works

https://oswestryworks.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/welcome

Locomotive works diorama in 4mm/P4. Welcome to Oswestry Works. This past 12 months I’ve been researching and designing my first model for 25 years, a cut away diorama of Oswestry Locomotive Works. This new site should hopefully give a picture of the motivation to build it, some new (to me at least! Welsh for Modelling) here http:/ www.modelu3d.co.uk. October 21, 2014. 6 Comments to “Welcome to Oswestry Works”. January 28, 2015 at 6:45 pm. I wish you the best of luck! January 28, 2015 at 7:16 pm. Hi Alan,...

Iain Robinson - Modelmaking: A sticky situation, some huts, and a volatile conundrum.

http://iainrobinsonmodels.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-sticky-situation-some-huts-and.html

Iain Robinson - Modelmaking. A sticky situation, some huts, and a volatile conundrum. You can see from the rough sketch above where the huts will go in the scheme of things. Long-suffering readers will note the Tetford "Castle Rise" development and "Finnie's Garage". I've built most of this, there is only the railway hotel and the shops to go on, along with a stable block- although the railway hotel is going to be something special, I hope. You say, after all that boring stuff about his health.). Thanks ...

Black Country Blues | Staffordshire Finescale

https://staffordshirefinescale.wordpress.com/black-country-blues

By SFG and friends. In 2012 the group won the opportunity to build a layout as a project for RMweb. The research and construction of the layout was covered both on the forum and in British Railway Modelling magazine. As a group we settled on modelling a fictitious line in the Black Country set (initially) in the 1970s. Further details can be found here. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Modelling the Western in Mid Wales (EM). Wednesday, 19 August 2015. Looking to the future. Storm clouds were gathering over the distant hills when this view was taken from the road bridge showing the approach to the station and goods yard. Looking in the other direction this is the completed scene now the station lamps and other details have been added. Saturday, 15 August 2015. Adding a little character. Apart from the porter all the figures are provided with a cast peg under one of their feet as a mean...

Iain Robinson - Modelmaking: Das v Foamex- no contest?

http://iainrobinsonmodels.blogspot.com/2015/08/das-v-foamboard-no-contest.html

Iain Robinson - Modelmaking. Das v Foamex- no contest? The latest set-piece to shuffle off the workbench is this little 4mm row of low-relief industrial structures. The centre structure is a little riff on an old theme of mine, the brewery house at Fontmell- something I wrote about in the November 2008 Railway Modeller (jeez, is it that long ago? The 2008 version, made from Howard Scenics embossed brick card. The water tank at the roof level was cut from the Cameo, with Archer rivets applied- I painted i...
