Riverdell

< Back to 'The Pier Line'

Up until recently this was the second box, next to Parre. However the Quarry has now slotted between the two boxes, and Riverdell becomes the third, and centre box.

Originally I planned this to be quite open and sparse, but as I built it, more things appeared! It still retains my original idea of a countryside scene, but it's inhabitants seem quite busy!

The central theme is the river that appears to continue from the photo on the backscene. As the water tumbles down under the tram lines bridge, it splits into two small rivers. This creates three distinct sections to the box.

The centre triangle has the boxes only building, a tiny cottage. This was created from a free OO building given away with the Railway Modeller, made by Metacalfe models. It has been scanned and then resized for N Gauge.

The left side of the box has a hillside. The local car club are holding a vintage car rally and have a large marquee. In front of it are several vintage cars. These are white metal models by P&D Marsh. The Union Flag was a later addition after a friend and former scout leader said that all scout camps would have one.... so I added it, and got it up the wrong way before correcting it!

The right-hand side features a scout camp. The scouts are again white metal, this time by Langley models. A small road bridge connects this side to the cottage triangle.
