  • This is the first episode in my new series about my progress in building a small portable OO9 gauge layout. In this episode I go over how the layout began, how I built the lower scenic section and the bridge builds for the layout.

    Just found your channel and have found it inspiring. I am contemplating oo9 and the speed of your videos is perfect.

      Glad you find the video enjoyable. And I’d encourage a OO9 build there’s something very satisfying about it.

    I’ve been dabbling in OO9 for as many years as I’ve been modelling in OO (about 30 years!). The Bachmann Baldwin was nearly enough to kickstart a layout, as was my conversion of Skarkoey to Talyllyn No. 1. But now I’ve got two Fairlies coming at Christmas, I’ve finally started doing something about an actual layout. I really enjoyed both the modelling and your presentation in this video, so I’ve subscribed and I’ll be following the rest of the series with interest. Thank you.

      Thanks Tom, glad you have enjoyed my videos. The fairlie certainly is a beauty of a model I can see why it would give you the urge to start a new layout, sounds like your gonna have a great Christmas good luck with the new project.

    I think the problem was using solvent free grip glue. Proper gripfill would take the foil ok and still go off. But as you showed, peeling the foil off was a work around

    • @WesternSignalman
      @WesternSignalman  Рік тому

      Yes gripfill probably would have done the job certainly something to keep in mind in the future. Thanks for watching

      @@davidparker2724 thank you, I do appreciate that. I’ve still got a little further to go with the layout it needs the road and river doing and I have a scene at the front which i still haven’t quite worked out what it’s going to be.

    What paint and colours did you use for the viaduct? Was it all by brush? Turned out really well, fair play!

    • @WesternSignalman
      @WesternSignalman  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks, yes it was all brushed on I used lifecolors debris and rubble paint set, lime motor, broken tile and broken brick. The stone work is lifecolor stone colours green stone, sandstone and a hint of blue stone. Weathering was done with a mix of lifecolor rail weathering paints and ak interactive washes.

    I don't have model trains but I really want to get into 009 but whats the difference between 009 and Z or N scale?

    • @WesternSignalman
      @WesternSignalman  5 місяців тому

      009 is OO or HO gauge models on n scale track
      Z gauge can be used to represent narrow gauge in n scale.
