P.S do you remember the show when was it the green peak went speeding up the back of the steel train causing a right mess in the tunnel next to the station i remember that took a while to sort out/clean up Cheers.

Guest jim s-w Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Mick If you move the period forward that rather nice MBC Mk3 Transit will be well out of place. Happy to home it on New Street if you want to move it on! Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to home it on New Street if you want to move it on! Cheers Jim Sorry Jim, We have a plan to create a "traveller" enclave on a future layout and the Transit will acquire a coat of rusty white paint!

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 17, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 17, 2011 The multi-storey carpark so far. It's relatively small as it's a half-relief "end" of the structure attached to the retail/entertainment complex that is above and beyond the station. The carcass is 5mm foamboard and will be clad with Wills/Slaters sheeting. Now to buy about 35 cars....... Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 1, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2011 A couple of delays due to work and holidays, but the momentum gathers...... it has to, with the first show 4 weeks away! A couple of views showing more work done. The disused railway bridge is ready for application of the bushes and trees. Most of the new security fencing has been assembled but this won't be fitted until later. The new warehouse is constructed and cladding is being fitted. The new platform edge is in and the station concourse is taking shape. The main building is a perspex box and will be clad inthe next few days. There is a "Premier Inn" type building next to the station - this is now complete and is starting to be painted. Other work still to complete - the road bridge will be taking shape shortly, as will the small apartment block that will be located between the car park and the road bridge.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 8, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 8, 2011 The car park is nearly done. An overall view showing the cladding to break up the flat sides. Sills have been fitted to the openings. The ground floor has acquired security fencing to prevent the scrotes climbing in a nicking radios...... Handrails have also been fitted to the upper floors. The upper floor now has a lift and door to the stairwell. The top deck has also received a safety rail. There is a bit more detail to add above the lift, then it's painting time. I have a can of Plasticote Suede ready as per JSW New Street. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hi Mick, Your certainly making great progress with the layout its looking really good and some nice stock as well - liking the 60 but also that Northern 150/2 is really good as well. Don't think I'll get to see it anytime soon but will keep an eye out for future shows. Thanks, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 13, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 13, 2011 Loads more done today. The security fencing has been made ready to fit - about 7feet of Knightwing kits.............. This will be put into place as late as possible, so it doesn't get damaged whilst other work is carried out. The station roof is beginning to take shape - pics later. The car park is in the paint shops and will also be photographed soon. Finally, the five 3-aspect and call-on signals are taking shape. And yes yu've guessed it - pics later. Don't forget, New Bryford will be at Blackburn Exhibition in 3 weeks time. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 19, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2011 More pics showing the station roof taking shape. These pics are a few days behind the actual progress of the refurb. Virtually finished the car park earlier tonight. Pics in a couple of days.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 27, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 27, 2011 With less than one week to go, there's still a decent amount of work to be done - much midnight oil burning and overtime will probably occur. Here's a quick (dodgy pic) update of the apartment block test fitted with balconies - perfect for trainspotting from....................

big T Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi Mick, I'm watching your progress with anticipation! The apartment block and car park are top notch.
