a bit more work on the grade side's , not the award winning scene's but will hide the white foam ....
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 03-25-2015
work has been on the new bridge across the little stream that fills the creek , this is from Wills , easy build and cost is small !!!
this could be standardised for small bridging on the layout .
these kits are 00/H0 but the bridge looks ok in N .

The bridge looks good, is the grey area going to be water?
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 03-26-2015
the grey area is the lake , on the layout it is blue-ish in colour , only paint , it may get re done once the track is sorted out . Its part of the old layout the trestle , tunnel mouth , girder bridge and lake (hence Roundhouse Creek) I thought it was sad to destroy it , its looking a bit coarse scale but its sentimental as first attempt .
with a tip off to the police department , Railroad security and the authority's search for the human remains , in the event the town folk surveyed the scene .
stop playing
.. back to track laying
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 03-28-2015
the track is now on the incline , complete with foam/granite ready ballasted underlay from Noch , quick and simple - stuck down with white glue (PVA) , once dry and cleaned it will be loco testing time .....
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 04-11-2015
to separate the two levels on the layout I have disguised the gap with a fence .

very nice! You're a good friend. His layout looks neatly done with a lot of ground cover...some appears to be real dirt?
Your layout looks great as well!
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 04-26-2015
continuation of the back drop and a girder bridge and hill awaiting positioning once the glue has cured on the backdrop .
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 04-27-2015
the hilly bit and bridge in situ tunnel entrance next ,
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 05-13-2015
trees planted ...
looking down the main line - note its close to the back 0f the wall ...
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - faraway - 05-13-2015
Do I see that right, you have vertical two dimensional forming a three dimensional backdrop? That is unusual but looks very good and interesting.
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 06-21-2015
its been a while , but things are once again on the move , it has been decided to convert the roundhouse to a working museum ....
the loco is from the Del-prado collection , it a Great Eastern Railway (UK) Super Claude 4-4-0 .
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - Tyson Rayles - 06-21-2015
Interesting scene.
Re: roundhouse creek N scale - mr bachmann - 09-17-2016
after a long spell away from modelling its time to re start the layout rather than trash it and start afresh , after a good tidy with the vacuum cleaner it looked worth saving ,
here's a caboose I picked up at the last train show attended during July...
