As you guys have probably gathered; I don't stay on one project for a long time (expect kits). So for some thing I can come back to, I've decided to modify Triang 3SUB S1052S to 2NOL 1826.
Brought a pair of Triang utility vans yesterday. And noticed the plastic wheels are very poor when traversing points, so will be replacing them with new metal wheels, also the glazing had browned with age so that will be replaced with acetate. Current progress:
Plans are underway for the signalling, It'll be Colour Light and all fully functioning.
Points will be wire in a tube for the parts in the station areas.

I've converted this from the Dapol Tanker, and changed it by adding the extended flanks (styrene) Wheels for the tanker (from an Airfix kit) and separating the tanker from the chassis, more pics to come

Thinking of building one of these from card. I don't solder so I think I shall have a go, at card instead Please comment with you opini
T:B :
T A Leslie Green style tube station built from a Kingsway card kit
M1 The underpass which acts as the station entrance
M2 A view of the 4 track station area. shortly behind is the EMU sidings for terminating commuter services
B Some Metcalfe shops recreating new development after the war
Here are some shots of the progress so far. The original interior had lever frames, but the layout has colour light sigs, so I've decided to build a new signal panel, glazing, lights and some extra details..
Feel free to comment and ENJOY
This is my layout. It's called South Downs Road, and is built to represent the elevated track section leaving London Waterloo. The station is fictional and is set between Wimbledon station in south London.
The layout is set in 1951, and features EMU sidings, a 4track station. The overall length is 12ft by 3ft.
