The GnATTERbox

Hello all, I haven’t really been that active on here for a long time, but I have been lurking and reading what is going on. Anyway some 3 years after joining I have finally made a start on a Minimum gauge layout and the time has come to show the project that I have been occupying my sick leave with....

That is a fantastic figure! Very nice work!

I think you have got the look of that spot on! Can't wait to see it at Telford!

Charlie... that is fantastic. I love the little lab on the simplex, and the level of detail is great, looking at the photos again with the black and white screen on my computor I am hard pressed to tell it is a model. You have captured the flat, but highly detailed nature of real life very well. Lov...

Andy Thanks for that that is great!

Wow that is fantastic!

that looks great! What do you use to gap the copper clad?

Nice work!

WOW just found this topic! Having just started attempting to do the same on the real thing yours is much better!! How do you fancy doing a full size one?

I like that layout, it has real Character, very nicely done Gerry.

There would have been one more but it was sat else where and it wasnt GN15

They look like some cracking layouts!

That looks blooming brillient! Whens its first show? :wink: I like the idea of screwfix tresles! I've got a few piars kicking around (under bits of Landy bodywork probly!) Would have saved a great deal of wood work! One thing I would be careful of, is the weight of the layout. It looks about 4'by 2'...

Thats really nice. The potentional for getting stuck is brillient! Whats the scenic them on this new board?

Henrik that is really cool! I love the little mini-simplex (or duplex as they are sometimes known!)

Steve how heavy (or light ) is that mini layout? It looks really really good. Shame I've got a 9 month modelling ban or I would have a go!

Good display! Looks like fun was had!

Hi Paul. I'll have a look in my files, I think I might do. Did you know the original Landy was based on a Willis Jeep and they used the bits you mentioned? Ill dig some photos out!

can I buy it and restore it to working order?

Thats really good! My gf just told me to make a loco like that for the layout.

I like it! The lake looks really impressive!

Looking really good!

looking good bob.. what colours are you planing?

Steve: thats something I didnt know! wouldnt it make them very wobbly?

i like that! i have one in store but thats for a 00 project..(that will never happern!)

the bent frame simplexes where about 8'3" by 4' 6".. I know casue i measured some and the 20/28hp where 7'6"x4' which is handy for my current task! but they all vareid with gauge so youll be okay!

Bob you need to go to rehab! you have a serious addiction there! another layout?? It looks very good... lets see how this one goes!
