Hi Dan

 

It was a limited edition print done in the 1980's, I'll have a look later as I seem to recall there was a logo amongst the text at the bottom.

So a little bit done over the last couple of months. I got the signs from Sankey Senics which I'm really pleased with and made a start of adding them to the layout. Obviously they are far more suited to my class 50 era.........and with the SVR 50 Gala coming up I can see retro making a come back on the layout in the not too distant future  :sungum:

 

Moving on though I've had a go at making some buddleia, comments welcome!!!!! And have got down quite a good base coat of static grass. What I'm not sure now is how to create brambles, stinging nettles and other small embankment bushes, Everything is too neat so please any advice is welcome.

So, Happy New Year to you all. I really have no idea where last year went and having just gone back I think I only put up a couple of posts. For some reason I felt like Teignquay wasn't going anywhere last year, this I feel stems from my lack of self confidence although a class 50 gala at the SVR and chasing my final 91's for haulage on the big railway probably got in the way somewhat. But some things were achieved.........

 

My fiancee has been going on at me for ages with regards to the pub garden so I thought I'd better make a start

Then some earth and green scatter leaving the outline of a flower bed

And then some grass

 

post-21158-0-16687200-1546815669_thumb.jpg

 

So the next bit here I think is flowers for the borders however I would like to put in right above the wall a small chain link fence, you know the type I mean, white posts about 1 and a half foot high with the chain with the knobbly diamonds in it about every 6 inches, does anyone one have any suggestions as to sourcing such a thing?

 

Elsewhere the JNA's did eventually get loaded

Could you adapt this? https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/lx189-oo-4ft-post--chain-fencing-oo4mm176-1895-p.asp No connection with the supplier.

..or this https://www.howardscenicsupplies.co.uk/busch-1023-real-metal-chain-fence-00-ho-model-kit/ but that seems a lot to pay for 30cm of fence.

Thanks Phil

 

I had wondered about the first one of your links but not seen the second although I think you could be right about the price. I've recently had some stuff from Scale Model Scenery which I thought was really good quality so yep that could be the way to go :sungum:

So I suppose in terms of other updates I did actually get my Falcons/MOA rake loaded with ballast.........this being an update from post #168 really. More astonishing is with the rear lamp addition I can probably say I've actually finished a rake of something!!!!!!

Hello I have just come across this thread as the name tempted me in.  The layout looks great and there is a nice collection of rolling stock and locos that are right down my street.  I like your scenery too . . . those sandy cliffs remind me of Dawlish.  Not that I have ever been to Dawlish but I do like looking at photos on Flickr that people have taken in the area.  Maybe I should get myself to The Cumbrian Coast or The North Wales Coast to do some photography by the sea of my own.  

 

Keep up the great work!

Hi Peter, I've been lurking on your topic for quite some time now and it's always looked good. I'm pleased with what I've achieved but I feel everything could all be a lot better. I'm only just down the road from you and I don't feel I get to any coasts at all these days now. I did however do a Cheshire Day Ranger just before the New Year taking in the Class 67 around Helsby, Warrington and Manchester Pic...........that was an enjoyable day :)

Why thank you very much indeed although I fear I have a long way to go still

Another area that did progress over the last few months was right on the edge of the layout, large enough for a few sheep and an embankment

However after looking at a number of layouts and chatting to people at Stafford yesterday I feel the clump foliage needs removing and I need to enter the world of polyfibre..........Thanks Mike for the advice ;)

So first bit of rolling stock detailing this year has been my 153. I remember when they came out and we all called them scuds, seems strange now that I have a certain amount of fondness for them..........

 

Anyway painting some seats

1658037082_1532.jpg.85291ecb20dd00498bb96f095264d399.jpg

 

Adding some poorly painted passengers...........good job there are no internal lights!!!!

Exhaust painted

 

1842422533_1534.jpg.20ffaec798160cc6dfc0fd50a1a5d8fc.jpg

 

Followed by a general weathering although now having finished I'm sure Hornby have got the overall roof colour wrong!!!

Oh yes, I did also attach the ploughs to the body.

So after a little bit of rolling stock detailing and weathering I thought it was about time to get back to the layout. Nothing major but it was nice to be adding a few more details.....

 

Firstly I added a hedge with the intention being the LandRover will be on a farmers track from the bottom to the top eventually with a fence on the other side of the track

 

795558793_Hedge1.jpg.83cf0dd2583361d74a405201cfa88627.jpg

 

I then added some scatter around the paving slabs around the house footprint to give a more countryside cottage unkept feel

 

355739177_Footprint1.jpg.b8faa51fe37d791a42dffa1acaeafa00.jpg

 

And then finally I added some weeds/static grass in the disused trackbed. I may still add some more here although I am still trying to figure out in my head just how bad it would have been in the late 80's when really the layout is based and probably wouldn't have been rationalised that long ago. The research pics I found suggested that the first weeds developed between the rails.........I guess it was the fertiliser :)

320134987_Weeds2.jpg.9a84863a0a5f62801ddb85e8b2f1b461.jpg

 

Then as it dried I ran some trains.......

Right then gents, I'd like some help with some wagons in a picture. Firstly the picture wasn't taken by me, I would quite happily give credit to the photographer should they want to be identified or even remove it if they were to request so. It's am image that I came accross on Facebook and if possible I would like to identify the first 2 wagons.

 

Cheers in advance :sungum:

Hi Adrian,

 

Just catching up after my sabbatical!

 

Your layouts come along a treat. I love the infrastructure. The cable troughing and P-Way  is very neat!

 

I really like the roadworks and the trench! Very original. Keep up the good work mate

 

Cheers

 

Trev

Hi mate

 

The first one is a pressurised TTA - I'd suggest Chlorine, but perhaps C02 and the second one appears to be a PCA -  cement maybe?

 

Hope that helps

Thanks Trev, that's very kind of you, but I still have a very long way to go. I know I have loads of details to add but at the moment I feel it lacks realism and needs a good dose of weathering all over. I'm thinking first about the track and ballast, any suggestions are welcome?

I did think it was a cement PCA but I never recalled that type ever getting down that way, can anyone shed any light as to where it is returning from? Would that be the same type as the forthcoming Accurascale release? As for the TTA have they ever been available in a RTR form? 

 

Apologies if these questions seem a little basic but I've probably missed a few things over the years.
