I've got a few still to do, but I did finish the Sunbeam Talbot 90 a few years ago. Picture is on the John Day website.
Nice model. Well painted.

That design is so 1950s. Austin certainly had a cuddly kind of style going with their cars then.
I agree with that. I have two other Austin models from the John Day range. They are waiting for their paint job.

And very good it looks too. Is that a real inn?
The pub is a fictive pub built from Petite Properties kit. Textures from Internet, Scalescenes, Model Railway Scenery and Clever Models. Figures are from the Monty range, the dog from Langley, the post box from P&D Marsh models.

I have finished the Austin A70 Countryman. Lovely kit from John Day but takes some time to paint. I’m pleased with the result.
I have placed the car in my George Inn diorama.

I enjoyed the scenic pictures of the layout.
You have created a lovely GWR scene in the last 10 years.

I always like to see pictures of your layout. The barn scene is lovely.
I have not looked frequently the past several months, due personal circumstances and doing research for my collection of Oxford cars.
Wish you a nice Christmas holiday and a good and healthy 2020.

For the first time in my modelling career I built a white metal car kit., an Austin K8 coal lorry from John Day models. I have to thank Daryle Toney for his, very helpful, support.
I like to create little scenes for my models. To create the scene a used a scenic set from the John Day range: RDS 2 Coalmen and coal load.
I placed the scene in a diorama I built in the past. I hope you like the final result. I have enjoyed building it.
As usual suggestions and comment are welcome.
Greetings,

This garage diorama is build in an IKEA box about 18 cm wide, 7 cm deep and 12,5 cm high. The base for the garage is the Scalescenes one. Brick textures are also from Scalescenes. Other textures are from the internet, and for the pumps also from 3DK models.
Loved the challenge to create something is such a small space.

But researching my car models from the Pocketbond and Oxford Diecast range I got also a little bit frustrated. Noticed that some models have an incorrect superscription or have never been used by for instance British Railways. And when I have a correct model, I noticed that I had to look to Mk I; MkII or MkIII by the Austen Healey for a correct date.
Of course, I now know I have not enough knowledge of the British historical cars and lorries used in the 1950’s. But sometimes there is no information available or the picture of the model gives the full information. There are some nice service models for instance for Austin/BMC, but I don’t know if they are correct. So, I only can hope that the Morris Minor Pick up is correct.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Kind Regards,
Job

Love the little details you have added to your layout.

That overall picture gives a good picture of your boxfile layout.
Nice atmosphere, in an industrial environment.

Read this with great interest. A lot of useful information.
Some one asked if the posterboard also where used as chalk boards. I found this picture of a clever made notice in 1922: http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrbsh1802.htm. Have also a look at the poster board heading: special notices.

Love your layout. I have worked with corrugated iron sheet from Scalescenes. You can see my efforts here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/1325/entry-17813-on-the-road-no-2-–-a-corrugated-roof/
Looking forward to your further progress.

In a blog I follow from the Gentle Author for atmosperic stories and pictures I saw today these thre pictures from the 1960's made by Derek Brook.
Whitechapel Rd with Royal London Hospital in the distance
Middlesex St
Middlesex St with The Bell
Who can give me some more information about the vehicle(s) in the pictures?

I do like your new "layout"

Totally non scientific but going by photos that have surfaced on the net the Fordson Thames ET6 ( also done by Pocketbond Classix ) in van and flat body form seems to far out number any other 1950's BR middleweight vehicles.
In fact I can't recall seeing a photo of an Austin K2 in BR livery. Que dozens of examples
Incidentally the snappily titled book -
'A Pictorial Parade of Southern Region Road Vehicles'
Consists entirely of sharp full page photos of 50's BR vehicles albeit Southern Region. Quite cheap now on Amazon.
Because it uses photos and notes from a former Road Vehicles Inspector it also tells you how the various vehicles performed in service which makes a change from the usual dry facts and figures. The Karrier Bantam tractor units appear to have been rubbish !
Thanks for that one. I will look for more background information to get the picture right.

The Scalelink kit is expansive, so it must wait a while. See the picture:
I will start with the Austin K2 for now. Did some research for a poster and think a quad royal 40 in x 50 in can be used. This is one of the posters I found:

Thanks Merfyn.
Apologies for the mistake I made the photo I quoted. That was a Dennis.
I couldn't find any good pictures of an ex-GWR parcel van or BR parcel vehicle on Internet for the Western Region.
In the book of "Railway owned commercial vehicles" I found a picture of a Morris Commercial FV5 in BR livery and a three ton Scarab.
There also some pictures of Western Region vehicles for container use. These are not suitable for me.
Is this also a possibility: 1946 Vulcan 6PF flatbed from Scalelink?
Do you have any other suggestion and additional information for me?
Regards,
Job

Tanks every one for the replies.
I will weather and finish the Austin K2 for the time being.
When I have bought a missing kit for a shop and some white metal figures for the diorama I'm building, I will go for the Morris Commercial from John Day Models.
Will skip the Mechanical Horse.
I saw that Springside models is selling this Thornycroft parcel van:
Was it still used in the Western region in the late 1950's. I found a picture of in British Railways cream/maroon livery in the "Railway owned commercial vehicles" Midland region.
This is the Ford estate. I don't know where they were used for.
More information of the Morris Commercial and the Thornycroft is welcome.
Kind regards,
Job

I’m a modelling small dioramas on which I want to suggest the parcel and sundries traffic.
Until know my fictive Northall was situated in an urban environment, but I like to transfer that to a more rural one, set in the Western Region in the late 1950’s
I have a couple of British Railway road vans from Classix and Oxford models. But I know these are not always correct.
I have the following vans with a W on it:
Austin K2
Fordson Thames Estate
Morris J
Mechanical Horse 3 wheel
I have a couple of questions:
What vans can I use?
Do you have suggestions for other vans usable in a rural environment?
If the Austin K2 is correct how can I improve it, except from weathering?
What was the use of a Fordson Thames Estate by British Railways?
I like to use prototypical vans on my next diorama’s.
Looking forward to your answers and suggestions.
Kind regards,
Job

Austin A70 Pick up
in Road Vehicles
Posted
The A70 pick up from John Day Models was still waiting to be painted. A couple of weeks ago I started with this little project. First job is to clean the white metal model. After drying it got the first coat of primer. This time I did not spray the model but added the Vallejo grey primer with a brush. The model has now to dry for 24 hours.
Modelling information: In the Austin A70 sales brochure there is a summery for the use of the pick- up. Trades mentioned are market gardeners, painters & decorators, dairymen, poultry farmers, retail traders and everyday carriers.
I thought that it would be nice to create some loads for the pick-up. The sacks could be chicken food for a poultry farmer and the oil barrel, small wooden barrels and boxes could be for an everyday carrier.
I have an overview of the colours used for the Austin A70 models. One of the colours is called Cheviot Fawn. After some try-outs with several brown colours I decided to use Citadel Layer - Baneblade brown for my model. I used some pictures from Internet as a reference.
I looked for the interior trim information at pictures of older Austin cars. Most trim was in beige. I will give the pick-up bank (seats) a red-brown leather look.
I still have to paint the load. This will be some sacks with animal food for Apple Tree cottage.
The final result.
