Corbs started following Free - Bachmann China Clay Tarps x 2 and Free - Unfinished 009 Layout (Bristol)

This is the right hand side of Pat's layout 'The Rotten Row'. For portability and a hope of finishing it, I'm only using the left hand side. The trackwork is all in place still as shown in photos and I have the missing piece of harbour wall capping to go with it. There is an LED light bar mounted to the inside. The track is wired up. Collection only from Bristol (due to size) or I can drop it off locally. Dimensions: Width 93.5cm Depth 39.5cm Height of front fascia 47cm

'Black Prince' the Half Hornby, Half GBL 9F has had some titivation. Now sound-fitted with a decent capacitor (as the pickup was dreadful and it stalled all the time), it was back on the workbench to have the rear coupling height altered. At the same time, the moulded tender handrails were cut off and replaced with wire ones (not got a replacement tender ladder as yet). This was brush painted using paint sprayed into a rattle can lid, then matt lacquered for an even-ish coat. The smokebox door dart was carved off and replaced with a metal one. A Mainly Trains etch supplied some front lamp irons and then the whole loco body was matt lacquered and treated to a smattering of weathering powder. I know, it shouldn't have the name for BR service, but it's a great name and we have a lovely pic of my grandfather standing alongside the loco with Mr. Shepherd himself, so it's staying. Also joining the fleet is a GWR parcels railcar, this was previously a test mule for a DCC shop so I got it quite a bit cheaper than normal. The same shop yielded a sound chip and stay-alive. Sounds great! It was far too clean so has also been treated to a very thin lacquer coat over some basic powders and panel join highlights. In the background you can see the in-progress first attempt at making better china clay hoods using the toilet paper/PVA/cling film method. We'll see how that goes when it dries!- 192 replies

A lot of the photos from this blog were lost in the forum crash, I did save as many as I could and re-uploading them here for reference (hopefully in the same order as referenced in the text).
