56303 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Evening all, Thanks for the positive comments guys And what ballast do you use? I got it from my local model shop and it was just bagged as 00 gauge ballast. Once glued down, it was weathered with a mixture of RailMatch sleeper grime, frame dirt and roof dirt. I've managed to make quite a bit of progress this weekend with the lighting wiring. The tower lights, shed 1 interior and exterior lights, fuel point lights, portakabin lights and street lights are all wired up but shed 2 lights can't be done as I haven't started the detailing for that shed yet. To celebrate this wiring milestone, I had to of course have a few loco's out onto the layout to test out how it looked B) My camera isn't the greatest and a few pics have blurred a little so might have to invest in a better camera at some point in the future. Anyway, enough waffling, here's a few pics I took :- Cheers Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

56303 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Evening all, The great weather this weekend allowed me the opportunity to tackle the weathering for shed 1 :- And I also sprayed the interior of shed 2 and weathered the outside walls and roof :- Here's a couple of pics with loco's inside :- There's still plenty of detailing to be done including the doors and the roof still needs gluing to the walls but I'll leave that for the moment as I need to install the roof lighting and floodlights. I will also need to amend the roof girders slightly to ensure the roof lighting strips fit correctly. Cheers Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpleymodeller Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Good pictures but I really dont like the DBS livery Much prefer Trainload (Mainline,Loadhaul and Transrail) and of course EWS Like the shed building too,a perfect place for interior detailing.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 23, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2010 wow, really nice, i've never looked in the layout section before but your username jumped out at me (56303 was the first 56 i drove!!), some really nice touches and the led's and weathering finish it off nicely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
56303 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Cheers Jim ! Fastline 56303 was one of the first loco's I saw modelled soon after I got back into modelling and I really liked the livery so that's where I got my user name from No progress on the layout recently due to work etc but I've taken the time to start to adding chips to some of the loco's :- I've also bought a new camera so the pics are much clearer but also it allows me to make video clips of the layout. A few short clips have been made to test out the camera and I've managed to upload them to YouTube and the link to the channel is in my signature below. Thanks for looking !

Poindexter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have just PMd Tim. But just on the off chance.... Does anybody know what make the tower lights are? They look like Express Models but seem to have different lamps on the top? Cheers Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkey Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 They could be from CR Signals.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

56303 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have just PMd Tim. But just on the off chance.... Does anybody know what make the tower lights are? They look like Express Models but seem to have different lamps on the top? Cheers Guy Hi Guy, just read your PM and replied but thought I'd post the info here for others as well. As Sparkey has spotted, they are made by CR Signals and are the LO20W Yard Light version. The small floodlights on both shed buildings are also by CR Signals but are actually N gauge scale (version LN09B). Nice layout mate. Ive been following this on Youtube for a while now, its good to see more detail on here Thanks for your comment. I'd taken some time away from modelling due to other priorities but I'm starting to get back into it now and hope to crack on with the layout.

Rammy Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 You have a great looking layout Tim. I will be nice to see you back and making progress.
