Fading an 08

I have for a while wanted a second 08 and had a mind to try doing a faded one. I've seen people do this a few different ways but recently saw some 20s given the treatment using Ammo Mig oil brushers. This looked to be quite effective and relatively hassle free so decided to give them a go. I think the result was a reasonable success. This was done entirely with the oil brushers using other artists brushes to blend etc, no air brushing or other paints or powders used on the faded one.

Changes to Cleveland bridge.

I have removed the metal security fence along Gilby Rd and put in some concrete posts. Also some of the Hawthorns have gone from the bank. This now looks more like the real place back in the day thanks to an image recently shared with me.

Building the A180 Flyover #2

The concrete deck itself is simply a length of wooden shelf with a wooden strip either side forming the footways. Simple and strong should keep it's shape and stand up to occasional handling, the weight keeps it in place very well with nothing more than some rubber pads were the bearings are on the prototype.

Building the A180 Flyover

I wanted the deck to be removeable which meant the legs needed to be strong enough with out being integral. I originaly started cutting some out of wood but in the end I had some lazer cut by York model rail. They were of course able to get nice sharp precise angles and edges and the lines of the concrete molding so well. As these would be right by the track they'd be very seen. Only 4mm sheets of ply that I chose for the durability could be done by the cutter so each leg was built up in layers

More new locos and stock

I have been busy working on the layout over the last year and have not been on here for a while only having started to use the site a while before it went down. I have some images saved of it's development that in time I may post in retrospect. At the present with the layout senics and all largely finished I'm just aquiring some last items of stock. Pictured is the last of three Bachmann 37s I've just purchased additional to the two I already had. These all need weathering along with q
