HAS TO BE!!!

I really want to know how you got both the mottled effect of very similar but differing tons on each tile and the glased look... the colours are spot on for that bit of line!

The tiles were pre-painted white and brown and then washed with a warm grey and rubbed clean several times. Now they gloss a bit due to the rubbing/polishing effect and look dirty by the wash at the same time...




Sorry, no Mornington Crescent for me, as it is located along the Northern Line and no Hobbs End, because that would be on the Central Line:





'I wonder if Michi's doing escalators...?'

Michi is not going to make escalators. There will only be stairs, but these will be nice as well!

I bought some old TRIX H0 three-rail tracks to mimick the London system (that´s actually four rails, but it´s hard to get non-catenary electrification model tracks of any kind here) and ballasted it with sand grains (which are yet to paint and weather properly)...

Oh, excellent work! From the detailing to the painting that is one lovely piece of kit!  :-*

What is the German for 'mind the gap' ?  :)
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
