    Another wagon I'm working on: Parkside Shock wagon. Weathering based on a photo on Mr B's site. Matt

    Resurrecting a very old thread. Just wanted to post some pictures of some 16 ton mineral wagons I've been working on. Both are Dapol unpainted RTR bodies and Parkside chassis. Rusting, replating and patched paintwork based on photos from the Bartlett site. Thanks for looking Matt

    I drive under it some days too, it's a shame it has never really progressed into a heritage line/been reopened as far as Llangefni. Layout looks great!

    Applying Maskol (or similar) with a sponge sparingly works well too.

    You could try using a combination of salt and a sponge to get some random chipping. That's what I did here: Matt

    Thank you very much.

    Hi all, Can anyone tell me if the duckets were made from wood or metal on the above brake vans please? Many thanks Matt

    Thank you both for commenting. In the example above (post 4), and bear with me, how does the second rail to the bottom siding get power (i.e not connected to red)? I'm also wanting to use point motors for the first time, anything I need to think about? Matt

    Hi all, I'm new to using electrofrog points and I'm terrible at electrics generally. As per my crude plan below, where would I need to use insulated fishplates? Any advice gratefully accepted! Matt

    Been following this for a while, very interested in the Blaenau to Traws line. Backscene is going to look great once installed!

    This was in RM wasn't it?

    I bought from them about a month ago. Have you tried emailing sales@freestonemodel.co.uk? Worked for me. Matt

    Or, more specifically joining Peco Code 75 points to C&L flexitrack. I've seen several layouts that use this combination, but can't work out the most suitable way to join them. Any recommendations? Thanks

    Having been in Llangefni all day today, I can tell you that the water definitely isn't that blue...

    Nice prototype photo ;-)

    Get it built!

    I really like it! Couldn't you raise the shed a little bit more to give your bigger van some additional clearance and clad the wooden strip in embossed brick to hide it?

    Looks more NG already without the buffers. This is 7mm NG - where could I obtain the characteristic centre buffer?

    First steps...

    I absolutely love this model, and quarry hunslets in general. The worn paint effect on the bunker sides, is that based on an actual photo? Matt

    Thank you for all the advice. Electrics are a complete dark art to me! Can someone explain the wire in tube method. I think I know the theory but wouldn't have a clue how to put it into practice!

    Footsteps added from plastic card: I've added internal partitions to stop the sides flexing.
  24. matto21
    Thanks for the info. So I can run two wires (+ and -) out of my little controller? What about point motors? What would I need and what brand is recommended by people?

    Done a bit of tweaking. Trying to get my hand back in...
