    The guys on another layout in our club have been using a rail brown from Rainbow Railways for their track, its just like Railmatch bit about half the price https://rainbowrailways.co.uk/product-category/paint-varnish-thinners/rainbow-railways-paint-range/rainbow-railways-enamel/

    The l&y brake now has its lamp brackets (just to the left of the guard's head) The Rother has pipes And the NE is lettered The Newland is repainted on the right hand side, keeping Hestia on the left The Kerr Stuart is getting the same treatment but on the left hand side

    In some cases its more about whats available rather than any pros or cons, apparently the Vertical boiler for Punch came from a (then) recently scrapped loco, so i guess that when the MW boiler was worn out and needed replacing, why not use it instead paying for a new boiler from MW. I'm sure there is something about efficiencies but i dont know In the case of Gervase, Sentinel was chosen and VB's are just what they do best

    Recently decided to rename my Manning Wardle to "Newland" as MW 713 of 1879 for st Johns colliery Normanton, which later went to Par docks in 1916 as "Punch", rebuilt to vertical boiler in 1932 and scrapped 1944. Today i went to the Doncaster show and one of my shopping list items is the right colour paint to go over where ive taken off the Hestia name plates

    Its the same except for the brake wheel

    I thought it was done but forgot the lamp brackets, i'll get to it soon Going back through the other brake vans, the North Eastern has got a full repaint and will get appropriate NE lettering. I have no idea of the livery so i'm copying the one on Blakey Rigg, i'm sure they know whats right And finally doing the lettering on the Rother Valley, though i dont know why a brake van should have to state its weight. There are other things that also got missed like door handles and brake pipes

    The mill got roofed a while back but not yet slated. Yesterday made an end backscene which bolts on, ive been mezning to make something like this for a while, it keeps the curtain off the layout and is a view blocker to keep the curtain and outside world out of camera shot

    All ive got of it is plate 23 of Bill Hudsons vol 1 and all i can find of the company is that they owned Crigglestone colliery. There is still another line of lettering to do "Crigglestone Nr Wakefield" and above the load weight says "empty to Criggleston (east) LMS"

    I thought about their Bassett Lowke traction engine as a wagon load but it was quite heavy

    front bufferbeam of "Junin" from 1930 at Armley Mills museum, standard Hudswell works livery of apple green, black border with yellow line. the paint is still surprisingly visible after being sat in the Atacama desert for about 40 years and along the bottom of the bonnet side as built for comparison

    Wasnt able to things i need at Pontefract show for either stock or layout, but did get other things which will be useful in the future. This year's whimsical wagon purchase is a Midland sleeper, all thats missing are the buffers and axle bushes
