  1. Hi, yeah they are rather hard to come by these days annoyingly. Wanting to pay a fair price, no eBay prices! Madness on eBay
  2. Looking for parts of the Hornby Arriva Trains Wales WAG set, primarily the mk3 DVT but happy to look at any parts of this set. Cheers, Ashley
  3. Hello again, Been awhile, but not much to report on the layouts scenery status at the moment, hopefully got some stuff to share soon though! I have however, been working on some stock including the interior of my ATW Class 143. Been a really fun project so far but only one coach completed currently and moving on to the next coach soon. Quite an array of modifications have been done on the interior that are visible from the photos below. My girlfriend kindly helped out by painting the seats for me, lucky me! Regards, Ashley
  4. Good afternoon, So the town scene is developing well, I've used Bachmann Scenecraft as I don't fancy scratch building it! These buildings will be heavily customised in time and the pavements finished off appropriately. Next is to finish the rear of the retail park and install it. This will finish off the backscene, then on to the road markings but I have no idea how I'll do those yet! Also, new phone so and new camera that isn't cracked aha nothing flashy but it's decent enough. Kind regards, Ashley
  5. Hi Paul, Thank you! I'd like to avoid Lima stock however. (running finescale track) If they were repainted Hornby mk3s I'd of been more interested, but again rather the originals but they are rare! Many thanks, Ashley
  6. Hi, I'm looking for some Hornby HST mk3 coaches in the First Great Western Dynamic Lines livery. Happy to pay a fair and reasonable price. I am primarily looking for TGS, Buffet and TSO coaches but will consider all others. Hope people can help me find some hens teeth! Cheers, Ashley
  7. Cheers! Passengers will definitely be fitted, however, I believe they are being fitted to my class 153 at the moment aha. Regards, Ashley
  8. Good afternoon, Some pictures of a recently completed project. I had got myself a Bachmann 150/1 in First Great Western livery with some damaged transfers, so thought I'd replace these using Railtec ones and conduct some interior upgrades at the same time. This involved the removal of excess plastic and adding thin wire to seat tops and poles within the units. These were then painted the appropriate colours, I also sprayed the interior white to brighten things up! Next some much needed weathering, but for now, some pictures! Cheers, Ashley
  9. Thank you! The pictures are quite poor at the moment, something I hope to rectify soon. I had originally used a different a different sized Scale Model Scenery platform edging but this didn't work so I used a smaller one. As a result I had to use more pollyfiller on the platform and used a different textured aerosol. This made my redoing of the platform look like it had been done on purpose.
  10. Good morning, Just a photo of my platform, this was done around last spring and I haven't done much else to the platform since. Waiting to finish some larger projects off first, such as the backscene as I don't want to damage any of finer details that will be on the station area etc. The platform is made of solid wood, the edges made from PECO concrete platform edges and the platform coping is by Scale Model Scenery. The platform surface is a combination of Rust-oleum Concrete effect and Aged Iron textured aerosols, sprayed onto a sanded down Polyfiller surface. Cheers, Ashley
  11. Good afternoon, This is for the ongoing build of my 00 gauge exhibition layout Llandyfai. Its based upon the Arriva Trains Wales era from 2003 until 2008 in South Wales area. The layout has no fixed location within South Wales, despite the name Llandyfai translating to Lamphey in English with the actual village in South Pembrokeshire on the Pembroke Dock branch line. The layout is a simple end to end, built on two base boards, on with a station and town scene the other incorporating two sidings and behind them is the fiddle yard with the track mainly being SMP bullhead rail. The layout is fully operational, I'm just continuing with scenery and will try to keep this page updated. The layout is on both Facebook and Instagram @FourGreensRailway where many more photos and previous updates are available. Kind Regards, Ashley

    Class 319

    Honestly forgot about the Desiro aha Probably as its not in my era. Bachmann chose an interesting class as its relatively limited sphere of operation and liveries etc
  13. How much interest is there out there for a class 319 RTR in 00 scale? The 319 was compatible on both 3rd rail and overhead wires, so with the interest in electric EMU's growing why has nobody produced one? Its available in N gauge, and the class is now relatively widespread for an EMU and there is a limited variation, the Class 450 only covers the present modeler and its liveries are limited...
  14. Hi, could anyone be able to help? Got three Lima PGA's and looking to convert them into the bulk salt version, anyone know where to find the dimensions for extending the lima version? Thanks, -Ash
  15. Quick question, What is the light blue engineers livery? I saw some mixed in with a rake of Satlink wagons and was wondering what livery that was? Also what was it used for? Thanks -Ash
