Jerry1975 Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi Everyone. I have done a bit of modelling today, painting mostly and added coal to the coal stage, also made a start on the hard standing around the shed. The layout looks very black but this is just painting baseboard it won't show through when I do the ballasting. Here is a photo of work so far: More Soon.

Jerry1975 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hi Everyone. I have done a bit more to the hard standing part of the layout and this just needs finishing off. Here is a quick not great photo: More soon. Jerry. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi Everyone. I'm going to finish off the hard standing today and I'm going to build a small mess room for loco crews. Things to do are ballasting, adding lights, figures, barrels, loco parts and a whole load of other details. More soon. Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi Everyone. Done some more to the layout, added some brick sheet to the shed and painted the hard standing. Here is a photo: Still plenty to do. more soon. Jerry. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi Everyone. I have done a bit more to engine shed tonight, finished of the brick and added a roof also painted and weathered it, just need to put slates on. I will have to try and take some better photos. More soon. Jerry. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thanks Everyone for your replies and kind words. I've been busy lately but did manage to paint up the water tank last night and I will post a photo of latest work later. Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1722 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Morning Jerry, Good to see this progressing. The scratch build shed is coming along a treat... Looking forward to seeing the finished build. Great work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thanks Chris. I am currently roofing the shed with slates made out of tiny bits of plastic card, it's very tedious but will be worth it in the end. Here is a quick photo of progress so far: Over all view, the water tank needs it's ladder fitting and a bit more paint work. And a poor photo of the slates, it's going to take a while Jerry. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1722 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Rather than doing them individually I tend to cut a strip slightly deeper than I need and then cut up each slab, leaving the extra width at the top untouched so that I can lay one rowin one go. If I want a wonky one I can cut a slab out of the line and add an individual one to the gap. Hope that makes sense? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodshaw Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Nice modelling. You could fit a smoke unit inside the chimney... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke the train spotter Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I know what you mean Jerry about the pain of laying individual slates. I normally save that method for special projects. Alternatively, scale model railway scenery sells laser cut ones that Chris mentions above. I've not given them a go yet but they're on my list. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted March 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2019 Lovely modelling Jerry. I think it’s great that you are laying the tiles individually. It will be a much better result. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hi Everyone and thanks to you all for your replies. Chris: I shall try your method on another building at a later date. Rodshaw: A smoke unit is a good idea that I may investigate at a later date. Luke: I will look into those tiles. OOman: I'm going to stick to individual slates on this building but may try other methods on later buildings. I'm going to make some yard lamps using a method from Chris Nevard using barbecue skewers, a bent nail and ( different from Chris ) a roofers washer. more soon.

Jerry1975 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi Everyone. I have been very busy this week so I haven't done any modelling but next week doesn't seem to be to bad so I should be able to do some modelling. I'm going to finish the shed off first.

Jerry1975 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hi Everyone. Here is a quick photo of the latest work: I ballasted one side of the layout and made a puddle ( hope glue dries clear ). Still lots to do but my time is taken up with other things at the moment. More soon. Jerry. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hi Everyone. Not much done on this lately as other things getting in the way also a new project I'm building is taking up some of my time too. I will hopefully be getting back to this over the weekend. Jerry.

Is this still progressing, or is Ynysbwl now the focus? I think this is a great model - looks worth the effort on the engine shed roof as you look down into the box (so it's first in the line of sight). Excellent use of the space. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
