Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 09/06/2025The month of May was a quiet modelling month, June doesn't look to be any busier due to work commitments. Here are some recent layout photos from the weekend. #bsmrguk #modelrailway #scotland #westhighlandline 4192

Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Resin on river has now hardened and I’ve removed the masking tape dam and repainted fascia. I will be adding a ripple effect in a couple of weeks time. #bsmrguk #modelrailway 2244
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Been putting this job off but tonight the river resin pour is done. With a multi deck layout, and storage track beneath, this is either going to be a glorious success or disaster! 72 hours it should be rock hard. Fingers crossed ! #bsmrguk #modelrailway 2243

Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 29/03/2025The wiring on the fence has now been installed. My eyes are not what they used to be, that was hard work! May need to weather slightly to take the shine off the wire. #bsmrguk #modelrailway 1130
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 24/03/2025After being away last week I’ve made good progress this weekend on my yet to be named distillery. Shed, chimney gates, lots of static grass, heather, bushes and trees planted also! #bsmrguk #modelrailway 1191
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Not much modelling this weekend but I did finish the mid level fascia this week and started tiling the distillery shed roof. Hopefully next weekend will be more productive when I get back home. #bsmrguk #modelrailway 0191
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 09/03/2025scratchbuilt warehouse / shed for incoming and outgoing goods is finally glued together, primed, and had its first coat of white render. Doors, roof tiles, roof vents, and drain pipes are ready waiting to be added. Will be adding a concrete pad with Das clay later this week. #modelrailway #bsmrguk 1150
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 05/03/2025If you are modelling the West Highland Line, you need fir trees, and lots of them. Given the price of commercial trees, I have to make my own for the quantities that I need. The trees are made from bailing twine, copper wire, and various scatters. #trees upthewhl.uk/fir-trees/upthewhl.ukFir TreesIf you are modelling the West Highland Line, you need fir trees, and lots of them.

Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 02/03/2025Trees, trees, and more trees! Painted the distant tree lines and planted around 50 trees on layout. Takes several days to grow 50 trees but an hour to plant them all! Back to the tree nursery to grow next batch! #bsmrguk #modelrailway #scotland #highlands 3272
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Lots of backscene painting and static grass today #modelrailway #bsmrguk 0120
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 14/02/2025No layout activity this weekend. Here’s a busy Laggan Bridge station with equally busy Glasgow Queen Street staging yard below! #bsmrguk #modelrailway 0121
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 12/02/2025First coat of paint and riverbed applied! #bsmrguk #modelrailway #scenery 2230
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Another Saturday afternoon applying more mod roc bandage an sculptamold across hills and riverbed. It’s messy stuff but I think it’s all done for now. #bsmrguk #modelrailway 0150
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Still waiting on Sculptamold to dry. It’s cold out here so heater is on! In meantime, I am knocking out some plaster rocks from moulds and trying out on river. Need more! Bridge supports also been cut down to size and will have DAS clay footings to sit on #bsmrguk #modelrailway 091
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 04/02/2025When I moved the helix last summer, the goods yard was hacked off to improve access. Last night I made good the the unfinished edge with scenics. A small job, but very satisfying! #bsmrguk #modelrailway 0120
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 02/02/2025This weekend’s job is to make a start on the river bed and terraform round the bend on level 1. This is same level as already sceniced Laggan Bridge station so hoping to blend in nicely. #bsmrguk 2100

Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Spent the day realigning the 3 lines in up storage yard and added the edging fascia’s to prevent a fatal fall off the edge! As you can see lighting up here is not great though I do have a roll of led by tape to install, may need camera and screen #bsmrguk 1121
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Tonight I unboxed my rolling stock, the majority of which was stored indoors during the helix move project and all the reconstruction work. Test running of full trains will commence this weekend #bsmrguk 1150
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Tonight I completed testing on the upper level of the layout. All point motors and reverse loop functioning as required. For the first time since June last year I now have the full line running across all 3 levels. Test train takes 9 mins for full loop! Here’s a short video of test train #bsmrguk 0120
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Work on the upper level continues with approach track to upper station in place. LED lighting installed up top also. #bsmrguk #tmrguk 080
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Today, I am mostly installing the upper level trackbed which climbs about 8cm from helix exit to upper station. #bsmrguk #tmrguk 040
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 08/12/2024After a six week break, I finally got out to the railway room this weekend. Lots of woodworking as usual. Trackbed now coming off of helix onto level 3. Boards now down for L3 reverse loop and staging. Next job is to lay trackbed on L3, joining both ends from this weekend. #bsmrguk #tmrguk 0100
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 03/12/2024I’m still here everybody! Haven’t been doing any modelling of late due to home renovation project. Almost done, and hope to get back to it before Christmas. I have top level track to lay to complete line and reverse loop. Hope to post progress soon. 0140
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 18/11/2024My favourite layout at yesterday’s Falkirk Model Railway show was the small but perfectly formed Creag Mhor. Loved the distillery scene, some to aspire to. #bsmrbuk 0150

Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 17/11/2024A layout introduction thread 🧵 1/11 As the name suggests, my layout is a fictional take on Scotlands West Highland Line set in the mid 80s to early 90s. Located in a purpose built garden building, the layout comprises of 3 levels all connected by a helix. #bsmrguk #tmrguk 12303
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Welcome to the influx of new followers this week. Just moved over from twitter. Hope to post a layout introduction thread this weekend. Lots of home renovations going on at moment so no model railway updates for a few weeks I’m afraid. But welcome all 👍 180

Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 08/11/2024The end is in sight for project ‘helix move’ which started back in June. The frame for reverse loop on level 3 above helix is in. Next stop is roadbeds then track laying #modelrailway #OOgauge #tmrguk 0110
