Barnaby Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I agree Ade I do hope the Telford show will run even if I have to stand 2mtrs away from the prize layouts on show. Here's a photo of the track at Bewdley station that I use for colour balancing. I have yet to get my heavy handed painting touch light enough, ie dull down the colours. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northroader Posted June 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 15, 2020 If you look at the GOG website, for now the thinking is that it’s still going ahead. I do hope so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 GOG site is still showing as going ahead. I certainly hope it does, it would be the first time would have missed Telfords bash. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Adrian Stevenson Posted June 18, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2020 Got the decking done. Need a dry couple of days now to get it painted. I am back to work on Monday so trying to make the most of my last few days off. My 58xx has arrived safely. I am re-numbering it to 5802 which was a regular at the Malmesbury engine shed. I have got the plates on order. Cheers, Ade. 20 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddys-blues Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi Ade, coming on leaps and bounds now, when is the garden line starting ? Was it chilly when you took the picture of the Cabin and statue ? Hopefully I’ll be in a position to be ordering my Mancave in a month or so, fingers crossed Best regards Craig 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 That's looking very posh Ade with a comfortable area of decking to plan the modelling days running while quaffing a few G&T's, cheers. Hope you get some dry time to finish the painting before returning to work on Monday. Best 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gismorail Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Looking rather posh that Ade, the statue is in an interesting position reckon there could be a few missed shovel full's of coal on the footplate whilst the loco passes that line-side feature 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 23, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2020 Thanks for the comments. The statue is a now former water feature. Her name is Sofia. Sadly she developed several leaks last year and is now out of production, so I am going to respray her Bronze and just have her for her looks. Luckily the water pump is working fine so I am going to have this as a small fountain playing water over some stones. Since going back to work, progress has slowed down, but I did get some more painting done tonight, with the brown paint done on the railings. After a long day with a drive to Kent and back with work, the can of beer was well deserved! Cheers, Ade. 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 28, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2020 Some more progress made this weekend. Started detailing the new sound fitted 58xx with real coal, bucket and lamps and the first coat of black paint done to the ends of the branch set. The this the classic Malmesbury line train and is what I have wanted to achieve since starting the layout. Very impressed with this model and I might buy another with the wartime GWR lettering. Once the new number plates are here and fitted I will lightly weather the loco. All the rails and buffers are now finished with the rust weathering powders. A neighbour kindly came around this week with a kind gift of the well known Don Breckon print "Racing the train". Cheers, Ade. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted June 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) How is the 58xx sound in the end? All your locos seem to be missing the fireman's side handrail between the cab roof and side - is this a deliberate policy?! I see the 14xx are getting low already although the 58xx, which is pretty much the same, is readily available.

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 28, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2020 The 58xx sound was a bit quiet so I have upped the overall volume a bit. They did not supply a list of CV's. I would still like to alter a few sounds such as the braking. Yes, the 57xx lost it's handrail somewhere, which is rather annoying, and I have yet order a replacement. But might just make one from brass I see the loco's are selling well, I was looking out Tower today and saw lots are already out of stock. Made the basis for the ramp for the cattle dock this afternoon and mocked up the backscene to check if the height was practical.
