Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 10/06/2025While never finished, the lower scenic level has its initial scenery applied. Attention is turning back to train automation and control this summer and I plan to make a start on the scenery on top deck during autumn / winter months 000 0
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 09/06/2025Thanks for the kind words. The purple heather is such a simple things to do. Needs to be done in large patches to have the desired effect and takes a leap of faith to do so. Worth it and recommend approach 110 1
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 19

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 24
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 24

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 13

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 19
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 19
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 15
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 · 02/03/2025Yes the dark paint makes a big difference and frames the scenery nicely. Trees are all home made! 110 1

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 27
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Lots of backscene painting and static grass today #modelrailway #bsmrguk 0120 12
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 12
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 12/02/2025First coat of paint and riverbed applied! #bsmrguk #modelrailway #scenery 2230 23
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 15
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 07/02/2025I moved it, not removed! 😀 I switched my door to open out and gained another 3ft of space so moved helix to gain space 000 0
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 9
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 12
Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 02/02/2025That’s me done for the weekend. Its all very white at the moment but pretty pleased so far 050 5
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 10

Up the West Highland Line @upthewhl.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Now that the helix move project and rebuilding of much of the layout is complete next project is to scenic level 1 river and adjoining distillery sections where trains run down from level 1 onto helix and towards lower staging yard (Glasgow Queen Street) #bsmrguk 0181 18
