I don’t have an overall picture but I did send you the track plan by PM. I tried a panoramic one once but it was a disaster..... I did look the other day and surprisingly realised I have taken over 3000 pictures of this layout and rolling stock so don’t ask me to get the photo album out otherwise you’ll be here a while!! 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Good Christmas morning to you all. Strange one for us as the family will not be around in force until tomorrow so I can sit here editing pictures without feeling guilty... A few from the folder as I now won’t be able to get into the railway room until after tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! On a dark, dull morning railcar No8 heads towards Little Muddle with some returning revellers, luckily its a terminal so they should get off at the right stop.... PS - why hasn't anybody told me.... its all your fault.... I accept no responsibility at all but I after all this time I have realised the railcar has the wrong livery for my era - I feel another little project looming and some shirtbuttons being fitted.

Number 8 was built in '36 and wouldn't need a repaint until '43 and due to the war, would have been after that, unless an overhaul was necessary.

Bildeston Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Sorry to be so late to the party, but I only just joined this forum. What a beautifully presented layout. I have a slightly smaller space and will shortly start on a layout. What format does the layout take? It looks like a junction to branch terminus layout, with the junction not being part of a continuous run (one photo suggests the double track stops at the backscene in one direction). Is that right? Does the other end of the junction lead to a fiddle yard? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 I certainly did a few weeks ago. It is brand new, never been run and dcc ready. At least it’s not to heavy to go over the viaduct without causing to many comments. Nice model to with full cab detail, will be a change to not have any remedial works to do before it joins the force... 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No roof as yet as I need to finish inside. I have no idea why I didn't paint the cabin roof yesterday but it is done now These are all the white metal parts and I have no idea where some of them go as the instructions are a bit basic. So I will search the web and find RC models which I can crib from? The kit comes with two cargo hatches one closed and one partially open so the hold could be modelled. I like the idea of doing the hold open but then the ship will need to be moored alongside with the tender in the water. This would then mean I could swop with misty every now and then so I think it will be the closed hatch with the tender upside down on the top. Decisions, decisions. decisions Nice looking Puffer, The Parts are a bit confusing to Non boat Folk but a quick look through the thread below on a 1/32 puffer you will mostly see your parts and where they go such as the water tank, rudder stem, acchor Davit, winch and the Grill part which is the step over the steering gear at the rear of the boat.
