Thanks. Both wagons are Bachmann ready to run, so already had numbers. I simply added the BOCM sticker to the van door, and then weathered them.

Thanks John - both white metal kits. the lighter yellow dozer on the right is a Langley Models kit, the darker yellow excavator is Woodland Scenics. The latter is H0 scale, slightly crude casting (so needed cleaning up), but does not really stand out as slightly under scale when sitting on the Loriot. I hand painted Humbrol enamel paints on both vehicles. The yellow dozer was painted in Matt 99 lemon, the excavator in Gloss 69, and then sprayed with Matt varnish. Both have been weathered, the excavator more heavily weathered. I should really chain them to the wagons, but wanted the flexibility to remove them and run the wagons empty Couple more photos (the bottom one taken on Dewchurch 2) Clive

Foremarke Hall waits for signal to clear at Harewood Halt, before continuing it's journey to Dewchurch. Bachmann model - modified Hall, renamed and renumbered by me. I've fitted the usual detail (crew, lamps, coal), plus a sound decoder and speaker in the tender, and of course weathered it.

Here is the nerve centre of the layout (well it makes me nervous). Digitrax DCC controller, and my home made analogue, points, signals turntable control panel. If you want to see how to do it properly look at @St Enodoc Thread. Polperran Points Panel. Work of art along with the rest of John's brilliant layout.

Thanks so much for the kind comment. The B&W photo does add a bit more realism to the scene Best Wishes Clive
