PUASHP Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Just added a representation of a facing point lock to one of the points. The crank is slightly hidden by the cover. There will also be a cover in front of the signal box to hide the rodding. Edited October 6, 2018 by PUASHP 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Finished the point rodding (at last). The signal box still needs a few more details such as steps and guttering but looks ok so far. It is based on the one at Watlington but with the door at the opposite end. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 The station building waiting for the interior details and the roof to be fitted. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Added a bit of rough ground to the embankment to add a bit more interest and colour to the area. This bit took about 2 hours to complete, slow progress. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 The station building now has a slate roof to keep the waiting passengers dry. I need to add the detail and fancy bits to the roof now, and finish the interior. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Station building is essentially complete except for interior details and lighting. It is more of a representation than 100% accurate it happy so far. The ridge and the end roof boards were cut from thin plasticard on the Silhouette cutter. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUASHP Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Spent a bit more time thinking about stock for the layout. Here is a Hornby D29 clerestory with a bit of added detail and weathering. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Bit more testing tonight. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Whilst I’m deciding what further detail to add, and before I get round to finishing the fiddle yard and control panel I’ve been working on a bit more stock. My aim is to be able to have 5 trains for an operating session. I’ve been working on a late 1930s passenger. The clerestory is a standard Hornby whilst the bow ended brake is from their railroad range. I’ve put on new roof and end detail, some new bogies and buffers I had in a miscellaneous box of goodies. The body is weathered ready for me to finish the underframe and reassemble. Forgot to mention the body has also been lowered on the chassis to show less of the sole bar. As a quick and cheap stock build I’m happy with how it looks so far. The loco is a Bachmann re gauged to EM and converted into a 74xx.

PUASHP Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Finished the coach, just a bit of final weathering to do. £20 and a few evenings work so very happy with the result as all the extra bits came from the scrap box. Next time I’ll photoshop out the join in the backscene, sorry. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
88D Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Sorry if I have missed this, but what did you use for the point rodding? BTW, lovely layout, and look forward to seeing it in the flesh at a show. Dai Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcanbomber Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Looking to get rid of white roofs on my passenger stock. What paint did you use for yours and is it handpainted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Roof is hand painted Life Colour dirty black and roof dirt acrylic with some black weathering powder. Point rodding is from Wizard Models nickel silver square rod. I hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve howe Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Were the D29 clerestories panelled? or was the panelling sheeted over later? Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUASHP Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Were the D29 clerestories panelled? or was the panelling sheeted over later? Steve The answer is maybe. They were panelled but it is possible some were plated over. I was looking for passenger stock I could run almost out the box as I had nothing suitable so although the Hornby model has its flaws it is plausible this coach was played over.

PUASHP Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 The station master has been tending his small vegetable plot today, it’s amazing how fast the vegetables grow. The earth is a mix of Artex, sand and brown powder paint. Once dry some additional colour is added. Potatoes are medium green clump foliage and carrots light green. Cabbage is represented by coloured tissue paper wrapped in a ball and secured with pva. I’ve got the runner beans and compost heap to add. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUASHP Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Wooden GWR loading gauge. It is scratchbuilt from old plastic spruce and rod, and some brass wire. Just needs weathering when the paint dries. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
