richie Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Here are some pics of my farm layout, I 'am still not that happy with it. The buildings are all in a line!!!!!!!!!!! Iv'e tried moving them around a bit but they don't just fit in. Might have a think and try again over the weekend. Any suggestions welcome.

THEBRITFARMER Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Looks good to me as well Richie, Nice to see the layout again and look like everything arrived safe and sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Looks good Richie, well travelled yard looks like you have lots of space in that loft to expand into. Looking forward to seeing things develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 looking good so far riche , lots of room for new items to by the looks of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 Thanks for the comments. Yes everything was alright not even a mirror or a chip of paint off. All that extra packing I put in payed off. There is a bit of room to expand but my son wants to put his scalextric and a train set up here as well, Kids eh they just spoll all your plans. Saying that can't wait to have the scalextric down either, But don't tell him that. I had another look at the farm today and I think it's the only way I can fit everything on this size board. So now I'll start painting the board and putting the lights in. Will keep you's updated on the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Scalextric is 1/32 is it not? You could include it in and around the farm layout mate, now that would be dapper as!!! How about fitting a scalextric motor and brushes etc to some tractors and having a Tractor Grand Prix?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Scalextric is 1/32 is it not? You could include it in and around the farm layout mate, now that would be dapper as!!! How about fitting a scalextric motor and brushes etc to some tractors and having a Tractor Grand Prix?!! i went to a model village where they had a scalextric track around it with a Britains Valtra running around! That had the scalextric gear fitted!! Looked quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 looks good as it is Richie, a lot of farms have the buildings in lines, normally just the only way they could expand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about fitting a scalextric motor and brushes etc to some tractors and having a Tractor Grand Prix?!! Yes thats a good idea it would look good. I would have to have the board at the same height and have a access hole in the middle just in case of any off's ( with my driving there will be ) Ihave all the scenery ie grandstands, bridges and trees. Ia'm not too sure about the motors in the tractors Ihaven't got the know how for that. It might be a first having a tractor grand prix eh, Iam off into the loft with my tape and doing a few calculations. Thanks for that Tris.

richie Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Well I've been up into the loft and I dont think I can get the scalextric to run with the farm. The beams are slightly in the way, The loft is set in like four sections, It is going to take a bit of work and money to do it. Before I built the farm on this board iI built a scalextric track on it , If only I had more room and thought about it I could have done that. here are some photos before I pulled it apart.

richie Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Just thought I would send these pics in on how the farm is getting on. I'am moving everything off the board, Have marked out were things is going and I have started putting a ditch along side the road. Not too sure if its going to work out properly but will finish it first and see. I'am not working to a plan just as it comes to mind.

richie Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Sorry about the pics the colour is a bit faint. I'am using a 500w outdoor light and you could say its a bit bright up in the loft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
