doddger10 Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi All It's been a whilst since I made a post, but other projects, some of which are railway related have taken some precedence over Dewerstone. Anyway here are couple of phone photo's taken of some building progress. The first one is the basic carcase for the dry. The next is the front of the mill, which will be mostly obscured, as it faces the back of the layout. and finally the back of the mill which you will see. As always, I would like to thank Phil for sorting the photos for posting. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of the mill And finally a general shot of progress from the Plymouth end. Thanks for watching Steve. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Good Steve, The buildings are recognisable and its good to see the model coming along. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddger10 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hello All Phil has now returned from his holiday, during this time I have made some more progress. First off a couple of the dri. and the track I have added to allow coal to be transported to the furnace end of the building, note that I have the building end for end in order too get things too work. Sorry about the quality of some of the photo's as they are taken on my phone and thanks to Phil for his customary expertise in getting them suitable for addition here.

doddger10 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi All Sorry for a bit of a gap in postings, but since Phil has come back from his travels too parts foreign, he's been off to various concerts, plus his father has been having mental health problems and so I have not been able to get my photo's sorted to post on here, but I have cornered him long enough to make a post now. Still progress has been made and attached are some photos, as ever they are taken on my phone. Sadly that's all I have time for at the moment.

brianusa Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looking good, Steve. Buildings are recognisable except there's now a railway in front of the milk sheds where we used to park the cars. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted November 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 1, 2018 Looking very good, Steve. It'll be good to see it in the flesh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddger10 Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hi All Here are a few more photo's. Thanks to Phil for doing the honours with the photo's. His swearing is starting to bear fruit with his auto trailers Diag Q & R, he will soon be waiting on his order from Dart Castings for detailing parts.

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted November 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 2, 2018 Looks good, Steve, now that you ballasted the track, it'll be good to see some stock on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddger10 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Here's the last few photo's, to bring us up to date. Well that's it for now, I just need to add the lighting unit and add some suitable figures, if I can find some, Thanks again to Phil for sorting the photo's, without which this would be a pretty rubbish thread. Thanks all for following my little thread. Steve. 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted November 4, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2018 Steve, that's just stunning, I like the sinuous look that you've achieved. It'll be good to see a few photos with some stock on it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I see you've included the leat that went to the water wheel at the mill, also the flower pot on the front room window sill. Good details! Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddger10 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi I have not had a lot of modelling time of late, but some progress has been made, I have started to populate the layout. Here are a couple of pictures, sorry they are a bit naff, but the phone isn't all that good at this. I have also started to build a Alan Gibson 850 saddle tank, which is proving to be a right pain, I think Phil's swearing is rubbing off, with this build. Phil's auto cars continued to be sworn at and he's got a thread on Western Thunder. http://www.westernthunder.co.uk/index.php?threads/phils-gw-coach-bodging.7398/ Steve 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddger10 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Hi All This is the first time that I have visited the site since the big change, I will reserve judgement on until I have explored it further. Anyway enough of that here's what you have come for, the current loco stud. First up we have a Malcolm Mitchell 44XX, number 4409. I acquired this loco and two more as a job lot from a gent in Saltash who was going back to ')' Gauge. The loco did not run very well so it needed a little TLC, to get it to run properly. Next up is a Martin Finney 2721, as yet it doesn't have an identity, this is the 2nd loco acquired from the gent in Saltash, this also required a bit of fettling to get it to run. Next up is a Malcolm Mitchell 517, No 842. This is the last of he three locos from Saltash and needed the least fiddling to get a reasonable runner. And finally we come to an Alan Gibson 850, no identity yet! this one I built myself and was a right sod to build, from the footplate upwards. The body was not a square casting and needed some brute force and some of Phil's blue vocabulary to get it to look acceptable. All the locos will get some weathering and crew, in due course. Thanks for looking in and your continued support. Sorry about the rubbish photo's.

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted February 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2019 Looking really good, is it going to be exhibited? I’d love to see it in the flesh! In particular I like the branch running on a high embankment and crossing over the yard approach, wish I had thought of that as it is a lot more visually impressive than the gentle incline down to the flat that I went with on mine.

Yes it will be exhibited, if I get invites and can get a 2nd operator to help. distance shouldn't be too much of a problem. I will make a post on here should things happen.

doddger10 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Phil came over yesterday with his camera and took a few snaps, I didb't know that he'd been over until he sent me the phot's, so there's no stock on the layout. The first few phot's are shots taken that you will not be able to view at an exhibition as he used a fairly long lens to get them. This is a picture of Dewerstone Halt through the end scene, where the fiddleyard would be. A shot over the end scene looking towards Plymouth. A shot in the same direction focusing on the mill tail race. This is the best he could do looking towards Yelverton, as I have started on the Plymouth end fiddleyard. And a shot of the mill wheel etc. Looking at the photo's the lens makes my track laying look rubbish, it's definitely not so bad with the naked eye. That will be all for a few days as both Phil and I are away for different reasons. 5 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUASHP Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Looks like the Mitchell kit. I have an old Models and Leisure whitemetal 517 for Hembourne. Edited February 5, 2019 by PUASHP 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddger10 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi All, I'm back temporarily from my wanderings. I have received an invite to Railex in Aylesbury at the end of May. I hope that The Fatadder can make it, I also believe that Phil extended an invite to him too attend the Plymouth show via Albert Bridge. On 05/02/2019 at 16:34, Miss Prism said: Martin Finney didn't do a 517. If it is brass, it is a Malcolm Mitchell, if it is whitemetal, it is an Alan Gibson. You are correct Miss Prism, it was a 50/50 guess and UI got it wrong, I should have asked the audience or possibly phoned a friend. Any way here's a few more from Phil. First up is the main fiddleyard, this will utilise cassettes. This is work in progress. This is the best shot that Phil could get of the cottage garden and below. Next up is Dewerstone Halt. and finally from this batch a close up of the mill loading bay. Steve. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
