RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted April 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2019 Cadoxton, named for St Cadoc who was a dark age saint from South Wales, does not have to be directly associated with the Barry area of course, as there is another Cadoxton near Neath, and much closer to Port Talbot. The backscene cannot possibly be Port Talbot of course as the sun is shining and you can see the sky. 4 hours ago, Fat Controller said: It's for loading/unloading steel under cover. There's a similar facility at Birdport, on the East Usk branch; though the loading facility is not directly served by rail, there is a covered rail-served warehouse. Rather than build a new siding, the building is built astride the running line to Fifoots/Uskmouth. Quite what would happen if the power station was revived, or another user set up on site is an interesting prospect. Birdport is interesting, a converted dry dock directly off the Usk with a gantry crane for unloading the ships. It would make a very good model for something based on the current era East Usk Branch.

RusselBridge2017 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Work on Bwrdd Rhaglennu, my Cadoxton warm up twig is progressing. Following on from the interest yesterday here are the SSAs I am working on. Please can anyone tell me who does 4mm wagon data panels for SSA, RailTec seem to do 2mm and 7mm? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusselBridge2017 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have 5 resin bodies I am working on, a scratch built ex POAs and a Blackadder all in EWS maroon. Once these are finished I am sure Bachmann will release an updated model? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melangoose Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Loving those EWS scrap wagons. Although you have been away from modelling the UK modern image scene for a while, you certainly have not lost your touch. Look forward to what you turn your hand to next. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve I don't think anyone does these in 4mm AFAIK... and the only maroon SSA's I've seen are resprays of the Bachmann model. what happened to the Sheerness wagons you had? Or were they from HM?

Fat Controller Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Pretty certain Railtec would be able to re-scale the 7mm transfers if you ask them nicely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
railtec-models Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Which specific 7mm pack number(s) are you looking at? I seem to recall seeing a couple of emails about scrap wagons the past few days but GBRf, Freightliner and Maritime bits have been getting in the way (they're now all done). As has revisiting the sub sectors which has also been successful so those should start re-appearing soon. If anyone knows of a cloning machine then drop me a line. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack 8056 please but in 4mm, would need 3 packs, there is no rush the wagons are still work in progress.

RusselBridge2017 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Had the great pleasure of visiting Hornsey Broadway on Saturday, while the owner was not looking I snapped a couple of picture of my Cadoxton narrow gauge stock on his 18.83. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusselBridge2017 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 I have been distracted from layout building by my rolling stock to do list...... First I have been keen to attempt to replicated a heavily weathered JIA clay wagon. The model is one of Kernows exellent wagons don't think I am quite there yet... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusselBridge2017 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Second a what if wagon. I had two PCA bodies spare so wanted to scratch build a PBA wagon from the 1980s with a few modern updates... Unsure what the livery would be in say the year 2000? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melangoose Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Like the China Clay Bogie wagon, very realistic weathering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusselBridge2017 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Bwrdd Rhaglennu, my programming board is progressing scenically. However can anyone offer advice regarding cleaning the track after scenic application, I am having trouble running a sound loco as it keeps cutting out I assume my track is still dirty after using a track rubber. How do I make the track clean enough for DCC operation? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2019 Track rubber first followed by a clean with a cloth moistened with IPA (isopropyl alcohol, not India pale Ale ) or the commercial "Track Magic" cleaner. Cheers, Ade. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) I use a piece of wood first to scrape it clean, then the Track rubber and IPA if required. Looks a good project, just going back to one of Marc's post earlier, I used the Gaugemaster N Gauge backscene over my Fuelling Point on my ''OO'' Deesdale Road, I gave it a light waft over with some white primer and then painted some Trees on it to throw it even further back into the distance.

RusselBridge2017 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 A little progress to report on Bwrdd. I will be attempting a little forced perspective with some N gauge buildings and trees to the rear, what this space in the coming days, possibly weeks..... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusselBridge2017 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Have always been keen to model in a realistic manner even if this means reproducing a form of vandalism. Controversially I do see it as a form of art but hypocritically I would not like it on my wall. Anyway here is a current work in progress for a future layout. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusselBridge2017 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 A few recent photos from my Bwrdd project, some new scenery in furlough and false perspective is work in progress. Hopefully on the next set I will get the lighting a little better. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusselBridge2017 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Some wagon work also, Gunnell conversions from the good old Hornby PGA. Also scratch building a JNA scrap wagon, maybe 30 hours of plasticard and liquid poly, the latter certainly lifts ones spirits in the "unprecedented time" Sorry the underframe and brake gear is a little freelance......LOL 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
