  1. I'm having trouble uploading my pics because of MB size problems. Any advice as I'm an analogue man in a digital age?!

      @Rosedale - if you haven't got a photo editing programme on your laptop/tablet/iPad/phone that you're familiar with, try using an online service. There are plenty that are free (and simple!) to use:

      I had a quick look and found these:

      If you have windows you can resize photos in picture editor. If using a phone camera email the shot to yourself as a smaller size (70%, 50% works).

      Come down next week and I can show you... there is also a shortcut somewhere on RMWeb to:

  2. The layout itself is largely complete - I just need to do a bit more scenic work, including more grass and heather, plus some vegetable gardens for the cottages. I am therefore, now getting back to building more stock, starting with this early NER brakevan. I got the drawing from the Ian Sadler book about NER Brakevans.

    The photo shows it before painting alongside my scratchbuilt V1 Brakevan. It will be painted in a highly worn and weathered early NER livery. I'm assuming it is being hired by the Farndale Iron Company to help move their wagons to Blakey Junction and then down the incline to Teeside.

    Construction is from plasticard with etched SSMRS w-irons and scratchbuilt brakegear. I have put SSMRS 3'6" Maunsell wheels on it as the original vans ran as part of passenger trains to provide braking and luggage space. 

    Then it is back to loco construction - a Class 59 or small wheeled Long Boiler Goods, probably no 1129.
