Haven’t done much with the rolling stock lately … too focussed on the layout build! But with @Downendians encouragement I have done some ex LMS design 5 plankers from Parkside and Cambrian kits.., They can go in the Quedgeley to Newland conco sleeper train which seemed to have just about any open wagon that could move incorporated! Now how about motive power for that train? Hmmm … how about a favourite of mine, the last ex BR diesel to retain its original 1960s green paint…?? 😉

There’s also the small matter of Dusty (wheelie) Bin photobombing back up the thread… 😀 Risked another session on the drive this afternoon and got away with it! No rain so fencing and telegraph poles completed on board 6. Interest is building amongst the locals especially the school kids… Mum, they shout excitedly as they come down the road … the railway man is out! They are genuinely interested …. And one teenage lad started telling me about his Dapol Manor today so there is hope for the hobby…..- 797 replies

More progress ahead of Redditch show yesterday…. Board 5 grassed and hedged. Still needs fencing and trees. Abbotswoods new and now correct starter to Spetchley installed… 7612 heads north to Brum. No SLW 25s for Redditch unfortunately…. A new Bachmann 6875 should be on the Pensnett coke though, and @Downendians clay liner will be appearing on Saturday … back to Bachmann 9ft wheelbase wagons on Sunday.- 797 replies

Funny how we all find different solutions isn’t it. The boards are stored and transported with their 5ft axis vertical …. The skids only add 1 inch to that, didn’t want to add much height in case of problems with vans. Have also avoided integral wheels… a pair of boards sits very nicely on a sack truck and goes through normal doors… the truck has balloon tyres and is very good for getting over obstacles such as door thresholds. Big test coming up…. -

Ab that’s good to hear! Today’s “just” job is to fit protective skids to the board sides. These will protect the front fascia boards which currently get badly scarred and need repainting every time before the layout goes out.,, -
That’s great modelling Andy thanks for sharing. I know @Downendian will appreciate it too!

Yes I know what you mean! But it was still a super railway despite the livery….

There’s lovely! Can’t beat the VoR ….

Pegs are all on, there’s not a train in sight … the Bobby is having a breather surveying the scene at Abbotswood Junction.
