I have been building this for a good while.... It will eventually be the centrepiece of a new layout (when I get around to dismantling the current one). It's the biggest building I have made, by far.
It is based on a model of Wigan Springs Branch TMD made by the amazing Peter Leyland (he beat me to it), who I chatted to at the Wigan show, and who was kind enough to give me the dimensions of his model and I went from there. I have tried to make everything from scratch where possible (windows, vents, staircase etc) with varying degrees of success.... Those roof girders took a while, cut from photographic paper!
I'm pretty happy with it though. It is obviously nowhere near as good as his version...
Still a lot to do - obviously track needs to go in, interior detailing (lifting jacks, maybe a cameo of a class 40 being worked on, landscaping, and the boiler room chimney needs to be made.
Pictures in the gallery! Sulzers for scale. The pictures don't really do it justice though and certainly show up all the flaws!
