Thanks very much it’s probably the next one I’ll get done only problem is is the fact no one has done an updated cl40 sound for a few years now. 

What's wrong with the 'biffo' one in your ELJ Type 4; sounds ok to me :)

Yer it’s pretty good but that was in 4mm and it’s a good few years old having said that no ones done any newer ones, it’ll either be Biffs or Paul Chetter, the 37 getting done at the moment is Biff’s and the 47 is Paul’s

Slowly cracking on and the fuel pumps etc have been scratch built, some but have been adapted from a Peter Clark kit.  Hoses have been scattered around to so next up will be to add barrels and other depot bits n bobs.

Hi Paul

 

I like the pumps, they are very typical LMR ones. Most modellers seem to settle for some generic pump but if you look at depots each region had its own idea of what pumps it was going to use. Well done.

Thanks Clive I wanted it to look as close to the LMR as possible an the only way was to scratch build them, in pretty pleased to be honest how well they’ve turn out, I even added individual bolts!  I’m crazy, thanks again though Clive I’ll try an upload a video later.

 

cheers

Welcome back.

Has this train driving and house moving thing eased off a little to allow modelling time?

 

Mike.

Hi Mike how’s things?  I’ll have to give you a ring sorry, house move is slowly easing off but I still need to get the garage boarded out properly.  Apart from a few weathering jobs for a friend I’m not doing any more commissions as I just don’t have the time anymore.

 

The jobs going great I’m now a qualified guard an I love it!   An Rosa is nearly three now so things are getting easier, I’m currently planning the depot building as we speak.

 

I’ll try an phone u in a day or two :)

Nice to see a Merseyside layout in this era. Looking at O myself now having done OO and N and may go for a TMD Liverpool area but different era to yours Probably late 80s as I always like the mix of blue and Sector colours. Need to convert the garage though but I have negotiated 16ft of space by 1ft 6inches if I fund the work....

Thanks mate same here I need to convert the garage or at least insulate it but with working in sections a can hopefully work in the house a board at a time.  I was going to have 3’ wide boards and just extend the width in certain places but I might see if I can use 2’ wide boards then just add a 1’ board to the back to make things easier etc.  Not sure if your on fb but I’ve got a group set up on there covering the build to if your interested.

 

cheers

Slowly been cracking on with the depot office/stores block, starting with the two storey first.  I’m using Slaters brick sheeting glued onto 5mm Foamex, I was going to carve the bricks but gave up!

In the last week or so the first board has arrived so I’ve cut out the section for the pits and assembled the board itself.  To get the rails the correct height as the sleepers an chairs I’ve had to add 1mm of plasticard to the underside of the pits, this I managed to finish this morning so hopefully I’ll get the pits fixed into position in the next day of two.  I’ve also glued down the Templot for this board and fixed the sleepers into position, these are just in the process of being stained so hopefully some rails down  soon.
