I read somewhere they are for test coaches to replace 37s. I could be wrong however!

I was pleased to see The Sidings in person at Model Rail Scotland this weekend, so much detail crammed into such a small layout! Was great to see the 68 on the move too! James

Which sound does this one use? Cheers, James

Apologies if this has been raised or mentioned before folks. I have seen this newer style of OHLE masts appearing in various places, the example I have here is between Glasgow and Edinburgh (apologies for the Street view screenshot). Is this replacing older OHLE or is it for newer projects? Cheers, James

Is Newbryford headed to anywhere near Scotland for its tour, not seen it in person yet! James

Cheers Mick, I see an airbrush being a good investment soon! James

Hi folks, Currently in the middle of an Airfix BSO to DBSO conversion and I am attempting to model DRS's 9705. Does anyone know where I can source the DRS 'Oxford Blue' in a rattle can? I use Plastikote or Halfords paint for my other models however no one seems to offer an option that's not too expensive for a tin of spray paint. Any advice would be great! Cheers, James

Looks great so far! I'm hoping to have a crack at my own DBSO conversion soon, just need to get the kit for it from PH Designs! How difficult was the conversion to do? Cheers, James

Love the look of this layout! Who's overhead wires have you used? They really look the part! James

Love this layout and seeing the progress is great! I see right at the bgining you mention cutting cork for the track underlay. What is the purpose of the underlay of the track? Looking to do something similar on my new layout. Cheers, James

Thanks for that advice! When you say you sprayed then soaked in PVA, does that affect the rails at all? What is the purpose of spraying it all then soaking with the PVA mix? Cheers, James

I have to say, I love the look of this layout so far! I will certainly be using your technique to ballast. Did you use any special equipment to ballast or just position it hen watered down PVA glue? Look forward to seeing your progress!
