Hi,

I began a layout called vulcan iron works at on30 scale. But I stopped it as soon as I got the a virus called gn15.
The size of the layout is 140 cm by 45 cm plus the extension (fiddle yard).

Finally last year I choose to convert it in gn15 scale . Glen Anthony gave me the idea to re-use some buildings and trimmed the doors. I just remove definitively out of scale, I trim all the others doors to resize it, I remove all the corrugated iron out of scale to add new one and I removed the lamps and add new ones.

Here the result. The layout is not completely finished : I have to add figures, details, ...

Very cool looking little layout. I like the logo of the man (how did you do that?)...but IMO the rounded bulbous letters bother me, they are not what would typically be associated with an industrial functional font and sign....I think they would be better as flat.

What are the blue acrylic sided "trays"?...are they part of a transfet table?

Look forward to seeing more of this project.

I found the logo on the book, I resize, print it and stick it on a sheet of plastic. I cut it carefully with an x-to and i removed the paper.

For the letter, I agree with you. It's a judicious remark .

The blue acrylic sided "trays" are in fact removable transfer cassette.
