David C Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Re: locos entering goods sheds. My understanding is that this was prohibited by most railways, which is great for us modellers as it adds to the complexities of shunting. To access the shed and what lies beyond it, engine drivers will have to use "reach" wagons. There was however one exception: Wells Next The Sea on the old Great Eastern Railway (not the one on the miniature Wells & Walsingham). Here, locos could only be stabled in the loco shed by going through the goods shed. There may well have been other examples, but certainly not on the Great Western!

MrWolf Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I can't get over how neat and crisp your paintwork is. Those black strap hangers haven't the slightest waver. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those black strap hangers haven't the slightest waver. I would love to say it’s down to skill, a steady hand or a shed load of masking tape but the truth is it’s down to them being separate parts painted before assembly The same can’t be said for the door knob* Then again if you consider the wire used for the door pull is 0.35mm diameter I’ve not done too badly *I never was good a painting within the lines....that’s why I try to avoid brush painting as much as possible in favour of masking tape and an airbrush Edited April 8, 2021 by chuffinghell 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 8, 2021 Evening Chris. Top modelling. I really like how this goods shed is coming together. It really doea look the part and you're doing a smashing job of the weathering. Lots of character going in here and I see that it will be a real focal point. I have to say that you're providing much in the way of inspiration for me to get things back on the boil again. Thank you. Rob. 4 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted April 9, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2021 Believe it or not this vent has been painted three times 1st in off white, it just looked plain awful 2nd in dark stone to match the bargeboards but it just didn’t look right against the brick work 3rd and lastly, black....well it goes with everything And lightly weathered with a little white powder (weathering powder that is and not an illegal narcotic!) Its a 3D printed part because they were missing from the Ratio part built/spares or repair engine shed kit I bought of eBay 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Be careful. That's what got me on the slippery slope to scratch building and buying kits for bits that I couldn't make / couldn't be arsed to make. I didn't like the stone texture (or lack of ) on the otherwise excellent Ratio GWR style goods shed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the Ratio Goods shed kit, the only reason I’m not using it is because of its size I’ve also got the Ratio GWR station building too I need to have a sort out and get some stuff on that popular auction site The part build engine shed I bought was only a fiver, it costs that much for just the windows so it was worth it for other bits and bobs Edited April 9, 2021 by chuffinghell 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post chuffinghell Posted April 11, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2021 The part built engine shed kit I bought for a fiver for spares only had six windows.....luckily I only need six ....I didn’t want the flange on the back though because I wanted them to look as good on the inside as the do on the outside.... ....It leaves a lot of flashing/burrs to remove but with a sharp knife, a bit of time and a shed load of patience...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted April 11, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 11, 2021 Chris, if you brush over the back of the windows with MEK, sparingly, it will remove all the little burrs and floaty bits left from your cleaning up. Al. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al. top tip Al thank you. Unfortunately I don’t have any MEK the closest I’ve got is acetone Would a liquid solvent cement do the trick?
