Loft Update - Still Not Finished!


Most of the time spent in the loft has been moving all of the display tables and constructing more - I think they are in their final places now. I have also roughly painted the end wall white and put better covering over the roof. Here's what it looks like today. I have not put many vehicles or minifigs in yet as I'm still playing about with placing models. I'm especially pleased I've managed to get my RC train to go all the way around the layout without being too intrusive (this has been my main worry and the reason why my original ideas for layout were at different levels. The raised levels on this layout are complete apart from where the Mountain Castle Theme Park is and the countryside where I intend to have smaller hills, streams, waterfalls etc. The other thing I've been spending time on is sorting bricks. This (as you know) takes hours and hours, but I feel I'm in an excellent place now to MOC with some speed. Watch this space. Richard.

  1. Great looking layout! Wish I had a loft to do the same! Alas, mine is confined to shelves in the living room!

    Was at Bluewater on Sat, and saw a great display with a police station and an apartment next door. Sadly I didn't take any pictures and wondered if you knew who did it and where they may be found online?

    Cheers,

  2. Hi Mark. I've found out it was made by Doug Idle. I will carry on trying to find a photograph for you. He doesn't have a brickshelf account as far as I know.
