wireman Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) 30315 back to the layout. I'm not sure what's next , but there is another one of these on shed at Brampton Road. It may have to visit Coleborne before to long. Regards Brian. ( wireman ). Edited October 29, 2020 by wireman 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wireman Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) The next pictures are not before and after as we forgot to take a before photo. Instead the first pic. is the same type of van as the one which has been weathered. This vans home depot is Brampton Road along with a Black motor 700 which is currently in the Coleborne weathering shop. Regards Brian. ( wireman ).

wireman Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 My own loco. 30315, following Nicks through the spray bay. First picture is in pristine apart from the coal load. The coal has been added at this stage because to be able to fit a sugar cube speaker into the tender meant cutting away a part of the the moulded plastic coal load. I happened to have a complete removable plastic coal load from an S15 which with a bit of bending and glueing fitted over the exsposed part of the speaker. This increased the coal height , but having found a couple of pictures of the real engines this seems about right with a freshly filled tender, in fact it could have been even higher. Next, a start has been made witha light dusting over the boiler top. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wireman Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Next, a couple of pictures showing progress so far. Looking good, hopefully will see it on Tuesday, but visits are obviously going to be curtailed again with the alarming increase of the covid 19 cases. A minor point compared to the hardships this pandemic is creating for many people. Regards Brian. (wireman ). 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wireman Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 30315 finished, many thanks to Scott for the above video and for picture below. Thanks also to Nick for the excellent weathering of loco. and van. I believe one of Nicks S15 engines is next in line for the spray bay. During Scotts visit this week, he brought, as normal, one of his yellow things, which, I have to say looked splendid with its train of ballast wagons. Perhaps you could put a picture of it on here Scott. The wagons had been weathered just using powders and deserve a wider audience. Regards Brian.

pitbull1845 Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 As requested Brian. 37421 passes the new yard as it approaches Coleborne Junction. On the subject of the yard, it was the first time I'd seen it yesterday and it really adds a new dimension to the layout, its only small but done really well. 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wireman Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 A short update on the spray booth. Going back to page 17, there is a picture of the spray area completed. The compressor is mounted under the work bench on the left hand side. This has worked well, it is easy to reach under the bench to adjust air pressure but difficult to see the pressure gauge. The solution has been to remove the gauge and position it in line of site behind the booth. So, a bit of hose and a few connecty things and all fixed. More to follow, as there is pressure showing on the gauge, I assume the S15 in the booth is receiving attention Regards Brian.

wireman Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) As an aside to the recent weathering pictures, this is a recently planted Fog man hut in the new sidings. It has been assumed that the shunters cojoled some one to leave a redundant one here so they could warm up on cold mornings and make a brew for themselves and may be an loco.crew. Whilst out walking a couple of days ago, I found this same type still standing along side the old trackbed between Wimborne and Broadstone. The old trackbed here forms part of the Castleman Trailway, formerly the line from Bournemouth west to Brockenhurst. Regards Brian. ( wireman ).

wireman Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) The picture of the pressure gauge above also shows the S15 in the spray booth. This loco. is now finished, and at the risk of becoming repetitive showing weathered stock, I have three pictures below showing this engine. As weathering is a relatively new venture for Nick, he has been experimenting with enamel paints with this one. Although our visits to Coleborne have been curtailed again, I have taken a few of my own coaches from Brampton road over to Nick, where hopefully, they will receive weathering attention. In the meantime, stay safe. Regards Brian. ( wireman ) Edited November 19, 2020 by wireman 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe down to your browser or platform your using to create the post? quoting your post above there were just lots of empty lines that I deleted to get the bottom of your post a few lines under your signature. Not an answer I know but I’m no expert on how the forum software works. Maybe a post up in the technical problems? Not sure it’s proper name will get the proper answer. cheers Ade 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wireman Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) During my last visit to Coleborne, I collected the five coaches which I had taken for weathering. The two following pictures were taken at Brampton road where the lighting on a really dull day was not the best. Really pleased with these, once again thanks to Nick. MK.1's next ?? Regards Brian.

wireman Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 73050. In the booth and outside of the signal box at Coleborne. This was a factory weathered loco. but really not that convincing, so, although I'm told it was more difficult t o do than starting with a pristine unit, the result is I think, well worth the effort. Cab window needs cleaning. Regards Brian . (wireman ). 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2020 73050 was a Bath (Green Park) loco for much of its life. Clearly the cleaners were not doing much! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
