    Hi and thank you for the kind words. The layout is 10' x 2' and yes that building is based on the Odeon Cinema at Birmingham New Street. Here are another couple of photos - it's all gone very blue at Hill street - you can almost taste the diesel! Regards Rob

    Here are a few update pictures of Hill Street - a small slice of the West Midlands in mid 80s - still lots to do but I think I'm getting there! Rob

    Hi, I sell 00 gauge Heljan class 25 self adhesive domino headcode panels on Ebay - Just do a search - You could order a set of those leave me a message with the Bachmann class 37 headcode dimensions and I'll make you a set? Regards Rob

    That black part looks like a Dyna-Drive clutch, that's why it has such a large flywheel?! Rob

    Thank you everyone for taking time to reply - I've ordered some 60 second super glue, looks pretty good! Regards Rob

    Hi, just wondered what type of glue everyone uses to stick plasticard to wood/MDF, got some retaining walls to do?! Thank you Regards Rob

    Hi, I don't suppose anyone has any Vitrains class 47 brake gear lying around that they don't need, I'm missing a few pieces from my second hand purchase?! Regards Rob

    DMUs at Hill Street - Can't remember but I may have posted this before?!! Regards Rob

    Hi, I'm working on a Vitrains class 47 at the mo, I purchased it second hand and there is one coupling assembly still on there that I wont be using so your quite welcome to have it. Rob

    Hi Lee I'm liking the very subtle fading of the yellow on the front, very convincing. Rob

    Yes I think you're right about the ballast, I will add some more black. And yes my DMU is a Lima 117 conversion. I managed to do it without chopping or a whole repaint, just did a bit of filling here and there and then blended the blue and grey paint back in to the Lima original, it's also been lowered and fitted with laserglaze. It isn't powered, it'll just get dragged around by my other DMUs and my Heljan 128. Rob

    Hi All Another addition to the footbridge - a zigzag girder type construction. I'm quite pleased with how it's coming along, should look good with some subtle lighting inside.. I hope! Rob

    Thanks lash! I've been giving my station building a refresh including adding roof gubbings and a new footbridge - it's maybe something that would have been added in the eighties to a 1960s building?! Still lots more details to add. Rob

    Thank you for the kind words, think I may have been looking at the ballast for too long, couldn't decide if it was good bad or ugly!!Lol! It's definitely Hill Street Blues and maybe with a touch of grey!! Rob.

    Hi everyone Thank you for the kind comments - Well I've almost finished ballasting, a few places here and there to tidy up, so I thought I'd post some more photos - Go easy on me?!! Rob

    Hi Mike I'll be using Woodland Scenics Fine ballast grey blend. I've used it before and it looks the part, not too heavy, but I think for the look you're trying to achieve maybe something even finer?! Rob.

    Hi Here are a couple more photos from me before I start ballasting, also a photo of my recent purchase, a Heljan class 25 - I've changed the cab handrails, windscreen wipers, I've cut the front glazing into separate pieces and made them flush and also changed the headcode panel so you don't get any light bleed. Rob

    Hi Mike That's Looking really good - I do like retaining walls, tunnels and blue brick! I'll post some more progress pictures as I go along. Rob
  23. glasmonkey
    Thanks for the replies! It's going to be a through station with a bay platform and a couple of DMU stabling sidings - I'd like to put up some wires but I think my clumsy sausage fingers will keep pulling them down!! Rob

    Hi Everyone This is the beginning of my refurbished Hill Street Station which I built about 10 years ago, it's OO gauge and set in the mid eighties, it wasn't really working out so I took it apart, and now I'm rebuilding using some of the original buildings. It's all work in progress but I thought I'd plonk some stock and buildings in place to get a feel of how it will look and keep my mojo flowing!! Rob

    Not sure if I've missed something - so Bachmann bringing out a brand new oo gauge class 58? Rob
