RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted February 8, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Whilst I was at the Stafford Show at the weekend, we were close the York stand and noticed not only a photo on their display stand of Orchard Road, but also a photo on their flyers! Very surprised and pleased (was going to say 'chuffed' but not appropriate for a diesel layout).

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted June 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hi Richard I was hoping to get down to Exeter for the exhibition this weekend, but unfortunately clashed with a weeks holiday in Yorkshire. Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post mudmagnet Posted October 10, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 Although Orchard Road is largely 'complete' and spends most of it's life safely boxed in the garage, it does get occasionally set up to run a few locos. This weekend was one such time and also to check over ready for first show for a very long time - Minehead Sat 30th October. So, an opportunity to take a couple of photos. I may make some minor changes, but probably won't get chance before the end of October. The class 24 is a renumbered SLW model. The twin Cargowaggon is an IZA from Kernow Model Centre / Revolution and the other Cargowaggon is Heljan. 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted October 11, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hi Richard I trust you are all well Good to see some Orchard Road pictures after it’s long enforced holiday. I will be taking my new small micro layout (Margaret Street) to our members day at the clubroom in a few weeks time. Western Region stabling point set in the mid 60s so steam and green smelly diesels.

I have some more wagons to get weathered and when done will make a visit to Orchard Road and I will make sure that I take my camera! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oncomin5torm Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I am a recent follower. This layout is superb, not overly complicated but done to such a high standard, I am very well impressed I wish I could do something so good. I hope one day to see your layout in the flesh if possible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted October 17, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2021 Continuing with the weathering of a few recent wagon purchases, next completed are 4 of the excellent JSA wagons from Accurascale. Working from a couple of photos on the Paul Bartlett site (which I pay the small sum to download and save onto my home cloud so that can access easily on my tablet when working in the garage), as well as the photo on the leaflet within the Accurascale box (excellent packaging as well). For a couple of the wagons, I dust a paler shade of blue using my airbrush onto the sides. All four wagons the airbrushed using Lifecolour paints, working from the roof downwards. Final weathering using a brush to add oil around the springs etc and rust streaks on the 'paler' bodies. These will not be running on Orchard Road as such, but just visiting. 10 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
