Interests
The Kettering-Cambridge Line-Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 heaven, with the odd J15 thrown in for a good measure. This will be my long term project. Just need Bachmann to produce a Standard Class 2MT 2-6-0 78000 eventually.
Originating from Northamptonshire ironstone railways are also of interest and this a demonstrated in my micro-layout Juniper Hill.
Having lived in Devon for a number of years and falling foul of the beauty of the Tamar Valley I'm interested in the Southern Railway line to Okehampton and the Callington Branch. This will no doubt provide the basis for a layout one day.
The railways of the Scottish Highlands and Borders will also produce suitable layout ideas as well
I also love narrow gauge railways and a 009 project is underway for 2019.

Eventually I've completed my take on Gloucester 85B resident 46526 using the excellent Bachmann model as a starting point. The DMR chimney has bedded in nicely on the smokebox. Pacific Models provided the source of the smokebox door number plate. A Fox Transfers 85B shed code plate transfer was applied as well. Usual weathering techniques using Tamiya NATO Black/Brown airbrushed for frame dirt. A dusting of NATO black was used on the boiler top and tender coal bunker sides as per prototype photos. Real coal was added to

Class 73/9, by Accurascale and KMS Railtech
46444 replied to KMS Railtech's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Accurascale have shown us the excellent Caley Mk5 sleeper carriage samples which have broken cover today. Now's the time to get on board with these 73/9's to go with them.. -
If the bracing is incorrect then that makes my LMS van incorrect too then Robin. I'll have a look in the Essery LMS Wagon book later but like you mine is all finished so I'm leaving well alone. As for the bauxite paint I use any shade I think looks right... Tamiya NATO brown is my starting point these days. I'm sure there would be a Vallejo equivalent. I would continue along the path you have taken Robin personally and enjoy completing your build.
