SouthernBlue80s Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 A few pictures I took today - of 47010 on the tanks and a couple of stabling point shots. One a night time one. I have will have some SPAs to weather at some point as well. 33060 is being cobbled together out of various bits at the moment too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernBlue80s Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) I decided the end of the fuel point needed one of those line closed flags at the end of it. So stage one - Ale Two pins trimmed to the correct length. Railmatch frame dirt on them. Made the flag out of toilet paper and pva water mix. It stuck to pins surprisingly well. Trimmed the edges off and painted a dull dirty red. And once dry a touch of weathering.

SouthernBlue80s Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 47285 is on PW duty with weathered dutch OCAs and dogfish in tow. The O8 shuffles about the yard. With an OCA and three wagons of domestic coal. I have just completed 33053 and 33062 so looking forward to using them. Think these will be my last shots with my camera phone. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium airnimal Posted June 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 10, 2019 This is a million miles from the era I wish to model. But quality modelling works every time no matter the era or prototype. Brilliant modelling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernBlue80s Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Itching to get started on a new yard build with bullhead track. I have the track but not the time. Hopefully in a few months. A few pictures of the yard tonight. Lone Refrigerated van.

Rivercider Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 That is a nice mix of vacuum and air-braked stock there. The air-braked Speedlink network started to properly build up around 1981/2, while the vacuum braked wagon load network finally ceased in May 1984, so for a couple of years freight services were duplicated in some parts of BR. You have captured the run-down atmosphere very well, cheers 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had spells like that, I keep planning stuff until I've got time to model, trouble is I've then got too many ideas to deal with!

RMweb Premium AdeMoore Posted October 31, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 31, 2019 Nice work, Could you describe how the yard surface was achieved? Sorry if I missed it! Also the backscene looks the business is that off the shelf? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I missed it! Also the backscene looks the business is that off the shelf? Cheers Thanks As quick overview. after painting the baseboard brown 1.I lay the track 2.paint rails then sleepers 3.Ballast with a mixture of colours - often fine 4.Blend in with weathering powder 5.then I use pollyfiller to get the filled in feel 6.I also then use scale sand and use that to fill in the gaps as well. 7.Then more paint but largely weathering powder. I do it in stages and keep refining it as I go. I use a limited pallet and try to use colours that are in keeping with the backscene. The backscene is off the shelf. ID backscenes are good, that particular one is Gaugemaster which are also very good. I hope this helps Best wishes Steve Edited November 1, 2019 by SouthernBlue80s 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
