ModellingMatt Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) I love your weathering. Do you use airbrushing or is it all from hand brushing? Edited March 27, 2018 by ModellingMatt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted March 27, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2018 I love your weathering. Do you use airbrushing or is it all from hand brushing? I use all the different methods - I benefited enormously from help from both Tim Shackleton and Mick Bonwick at the Missenden Weekend courses - the blue diesels are predominately airbrushing ( I'm still a fan of enamels) and MIG powders. The golden rule is use a photo and work from it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_tyne Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Inspirational Chris! The colours, weathering and overall picture are just fantastic. Everything blends so well and just looks 'right'. Shows what can be done in such a small space. Thanks for drawing my attention to the layout as it a slipped below my radar! David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted July 8, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2018 Thanks for the comments - its worth reiterating that using wagon cards does definitely seem to make operating a better exhibition experience and retains our interest!

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted July 23, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2018 Just discovered this thread and a great little layout! What construction method and materials did you use for the road-over bridge? Regards Mark Hi Mark - thanks for the comment - the bridge is a mixture of Lcut creative brickwork but with a girder made up from US HO Micro engineering sides - if I did it again I'd seal the Lcut parts with some acrylic varnish prior to construction as although great kits they are layered card and can get easily damaged with clumsy handling which you can see on the bridge and the brick warehouse if you look carefully! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted July 23, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2018 The layout is at Ross on 18/19 August - we'll run 10' wb stock on Saturday as a 3/3/5 puzzle and experiment with it as a 2/2/3 inglenook with some 1980s stock on Sunday.

Guest teacupteacup Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Love this little layout! Could you explain how the card system works please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted November 8, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2018 Love this little layout! Could you explain how the card system works please? Sorry - missed this post - I have a card for each 10' WB wagon - 8 are in use - I draw 5 out in an order and they have to be shunted into the front track - if I use the newer Railfreight stock the numbers become 5 and 3.

Less is more lol...that said having attended a few shows here I feel that Thornbury are out growing the venue. The quality of layouts was fantastic but a bit more space to view would be welcome. Hope you didn't break the bank at Eileen's, l nearly did on one trader but by the time I had made my mind up and went back it had been sold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hi Chris, Just wanted to say it was nice to see Dock street at Thornbury, good to meet and chat with you as well! Oh, and thanks for letting me have a play, I like the card system and might introduce a similar thing for my shunting plank. Cheers, Wayne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
