boxerbayrailway Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) A few updates. First a quick little video of a newly finished up ex LMS 1F 0-6-0T now BBR #8 "Hilda". Purchased second hand, refurbished with new gears, and re-lettered etc... And a neat detail I just had to have, the classic finger signpost. The squire's Bentley is parked, he must be behind the camera Edited November 27, 2021 by boxerbayrailway 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a second (or maybe third) hand Slaters kit to do one of these days. Very nicely produced video, the sound effects are quite effective.

Usual disclaimer, no connections, just happy customer.

Hope that you're well Shaun Thanks Shaun. I do enjoy photography, & filming the railway, especially as it's getting more complete with scenery & details. Finding time is difficult. I am well & very busy with the new job, but getting a lot of little things done & enjoying the 4 day break. I made up this film for the GOG virtual show. Probably won't have time to make another for awhile, but maybe a few shorts. Hope all is well with you, Felix 10 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRASinBothell Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks. I should have thought of Duncan Models, having purchased several items from them in the past. I even have a couple of his seagulls flying over the layout. Gordon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerbayrailway Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Since Gordon has mentioned seagulls, guess I should share my latest building for the Boxer Bay village, and the most important, being the local pub . "The Cheeky Seagull" I must finish the pavement, pink indeed ! The patrons will be seeing an elephant next ! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a great one too Shaun, Merry Christmas. Cheers, Felix 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerbayrailway Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) The wind is frosty, the temperature is below 2 degrees, it's dark & the rain is close to turning to snow. But in my miniature world, where it's always Summer, Peter & Fenella have stopped off to have a picnic. Another fine set of metal figures from S&D models.

boxerbayrailway Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 New year, new project. My attention has been mostly on Windrush Junction, and the surrounding area. For 2022, my main area of activity will be developing the other side of the railway, Boxer Bay, and it's dock. I am most looking forward to it, being interested in maritime activity as well as railways. Here are a few photos showing how things stand now, with bare track & a start on the dock wall. Incidentally the isolated & elevated track will be for the moving dock crane, based on the S&D crane at Highbridge. Felix 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxerbayrailway Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Work has left little time for the railway, but today was a good day and I decided to be lazy. So I just put the hi-fi record player on & played trains No news, No phones, No Computers, just music, tea, & steam Here's BBR #8 "Hilda" rolling through the countryside in simpler times with the "aff'noon" goods. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of a small 3x6' TT layout built when I was a teenager, this is the first layout I've gotten to the scenic / detailing phase, so it's all a learning curve for what works, or not. All great fun. I'm enjoying the "Beyond Dover" thread. Been tempted a few times to build a small French O layout, but time (& budget , ability) are limited right now. Had a crazy idea of making my buildings removable on the BBR and replaced with continental versions, along with stock, & presto, it's a French secondary line in 1910 ! Maybe someday.

mopar Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Just stumbled on this. Excellent modelling. A Col. Stephens light railway, what's not to like? I might have missed it but is your station building a kit or scratchbuilt? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind compliment. The station building is a kit available from Skytrex models. It was formally made by NMB models in Somerset. I can recommend it, nice castings & great fun to build.

boxerbayrailway Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Been awhile since I posted any updates. Not too much has developed. Busy work schedule getting in the way. A few little projects like lineside fencing, & details have been added. Including a new establishment in the High street of Boxer Bay. A few random photographs. 13 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
