Hi, is there any news on this project? Can't wait to get my hands on one. 🙂

Massively happy about the Network Rail DBSO. Just started looking at making my own! Glad I didn't Start yet. Even considered buying this but the price of it only makes the Bachmann one more appealing! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Gauge-DBSO-Network-Rail-coach-DCC-lighting-/255331390794?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Update 03/08/21 I have put up more stock storage shelves and begun putting in a platform (very early stages) Only new acquisitions are a Bachmann DB Schenker HKA wagon and a newly completed cambrian salmon wagon kit I have also been uploading to YouTube, feel free to take a look! https://youtube.com/channel/UCn7afRMI_Pc-4hHzgtLCAiw Stay tuned for more!

I have begun a scratch build engine shed for my tmd I have completed the entire shell, it just needs some details and textures. I would be grateful if someone could recommend me and suppliers for these parts and also any tips are very welcome

Update 06/07/21 After a couple of months of neglect I have had a clear out on the layout, I have reorganised the whole room and added a new display shelf. I have bought a new set of drawers for storage and have reorganised all of my stock boxes and tools ad well as chucking out a load of old boxes and old craft materials. As you can see me being away from the layout hasn't stopped the Acquisitions and I have the Bachmann Pride if Britain pack on display. I have also put my collection of shipping containers on display (C-Rail, Dapol and Bachmann) Any suggestions or ideas are welcome

A couple of pictures of my stock not currently in use Simple storage solution, consists of £11 picture frame shelves from Homebase Great if you have the wall space

Mini update 06/02/21 Added more stock shelves to create three levels and also bough some layout accessories such as a layout name plaque from Scale Model Scenery so I will be painting that and adding it to the layout very shortly

Small update: Additional shelves installed Positioning isn't perfect but I'm happy with it

Update 01/02/21 I have decided to install some shelves for my various locos and stock, after many weeks of trying to find the solution I discovered Picture frame shelves The ones I have selected are the ideal size for up to four large locos and or their boxes The ones I chose are white 1200x100mm of which there are a few sizes and colours (Link to product) https://www.homebase.co.uk/photo-shelf-white-matt-120cm_p484470?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4-mb9K3J7gIVQe7tCh0NDQliEAQYASABEgJK8vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds They come with the appropriate fixings for masonry and plasterboard as well as easy to follow fitting instructions They are of a relatively sturdy construction which I am happy to trust my locos with I have a couple of negative points which are that the finish on a couple of them isn't to the highest standard e.g. some small scratches and marks but that isn't a big deal to me because of the low price. Also one of the four shelves I bought did not come with any fixings whatsoever, although this isn't the end of the world for me as I have spare screws/wall plugs (I believe ones supplies are standard sizes) At only £11 each and less for small/ narrower shelves I believe they are good value for money and provide ample storage for that cost If anyone has any questions I'll be happy to answer them and also provide more pictures

Fuel point progress The road running next to the point is installed I decided to make the hardstanding area out of concrete rather than asphalt for some variety I'm happy with the look of the concrete, I will paint road markings/safety lines around the are once dry I used AK Interactive for both surfaces as I like the finish they leave and realative ease of use I'm open to suggestions on this area so any help Is very welcome

Yeah that sounds like a great idea, thank you
