‘Lisburn Lane’ gets a boost
After a brief lull, the arrival of some new building kits provided the inspiration for George Dent to continue with one of his layout projects.
Until recently, my ‘Lisburn Lane’ micro layout project had been put on hold while I prevaricated over what structures to incorporate into the rear of the scene. A Bachmann Scenecraft northlight factory and chimney were earmarked for use on this layout, but they looked a little underwhelming on their own.
One or more other structures were clearly needed, most likely in low-relief form, but with nothing suitable in storage, I was faced with searching for a suitable kit or scratchbuilding.
While I waited for inspiration to strike, the layout’s baseboard inevitably took on the role of a storage shelf! Thankfully, a couple of new kits from Scale Model Scenery, received as review samples, provided the ‘Eureka’ moment.
