Sweethome Alabama at Newcastle exhibition - alcanman - 11-12-2011
Hi,
As mentioned in an earlier thread by Jack (Shortliner) Jon Grant's superb new layout, 'Sweethome Alabama' made it's first public appearance
at the Newcastle show today.
I went along today and enjoyed meeting and having a chat with Jack and Jon. With Jon's permission I took a few pics and thought I'd share them with you.
I'll post the remainder of the pics later,
regards,

Jon does excellent modeling and I like both his layouts..

Very impressive work. I like the very subtle weathering and "aged" look that's everywhere on the layout. Really great modeling. Looking at the various ground covers is a tutorial all in itself.

Very impressive. I gather this is large scale?

I believe its HO. ALWAYS a pleasure to see Jon's work.

Hi,
You are correct Ralph, the layout is HO scale.
I also managed to film a short video.
Enjoy.
