Buildings & Railway Structures on Rowandale - Canal Section

Canal Lock

The canal basin occupies a central position on this section of the layout. The canal entrance to the lock is via a tunnel under the main railway line at the rear of the section.

All of the buildings, railway & canal structures on this section are built from card with photo quality overlays, using either kits from Scalescenes, some heavily modified, or scratch-built using their Texture Sheets. They have some added internal details and figures, which can be glimpsed though the windows, especially when the internal lights are on.

The majority of the windows in the buildings are etched frets, from Brassmasters, mostly painted white. The small dinghy & lifebelts are3D printed from Peedie Models. The lighting is by small filament bulbs, either the grain of wheat or the even smaller grain of rice. They are 12v bulbs run at 9v.

Town Extension

This collection of buildings are on a raised removable module which is built to cover the exit from the hidden sidings at the rear of the main town & station section of the layout. The servo motors for operating the points are also hidden here . The buildings are a mixture of houses and mill buildings.
