Mind the Gap - Peco Rail 200 Competition

Описание: My inspiration for the PECO Rail200 competition is the London Underground, a fascinating and integral part of the UK’s 200 years of railway history from the first line opening in 1863, becoming the first underground passenger railway in the world to the 262 stations and 250 miles of track we have today.
The layout is based on part of Trafalgar Square Tube Station on the Bakerloo Line in the late 60s before it became Charing Cross and shows the iconic tile designs by Leslie Green, the other platform showing a history of tube posters.

The layout also incorporates the London Post Office Railway with a scratch-built engine and rolling stock.

The platform tubes are made from postal tubes with mirrors at the end, so the platforms look much longer, the lift shafts and post office tube were recycled from household waste, the fire buckets are made from dowels shaped with a pencil sharpener, the line-side cables are made from spaghetti and the platforms are filled with 100 hand-painted figures.
