Looks good. I’m expecting blue !

[hammer73]

Yeah rob, although I heard they may be doing 69001 in Progress rail livery whatever that is but no doubt that maybe blue lol

 

[hammer73]

Well while waiting to see what livery 69001 thought I would crack on to do GBRF 60026 in the fetching blue livery 

[hammer73]

Now ready for gloss then the decals should be done this weekend I kind of like this livery and the decals will bring some life to it 

[hammer73]

Not looking too bad really like this livery think it suits the class and next onto couple satin over sprays then onto Burnroyd Works for some pics and hope to get this running on our new layout Bardun when we can get back to the club rooms 

[hammer73]

Well I think it looks ok as I say think blue really suits the 60

Update on the progress of the loader buildings. 

 

 

 

seems an age away now. All in the club rooms. A member went down the other week to check on the clubrooms and said it was like discovering the Marie Celeste, things just left on tables, layouts slowly gathering dust 

[hammer73]

Well not much to do with the poor weather so the last few 37 bodies thought would crack on as I rather like the plain 37422 

[hammer73]

[hammer73]

Decals done and one satin finish will do another pass later like this livery  it suits the class 37 

[hammer73]

The final result few weeks on the buffer beam with detail and probably weathering later but will enjoy running looking new for a while 

[hammer73]

Finished the latest class 69 

69005 this was on show at the DEMU show on my layout Burnroyd Works 

[virginhst539]

That class 69 is superb!

 

Is there any news on the bardun layout since the last updated during the lockdown?

[enginelane]

Thanks for the enquiry.

 

Yes, to reduce costs to the club then it was decided to use the old Troutons boards. They did not give up their track easily and we had to take off the baseboard tops and turn them over. This involved cutting off a hell of pins that had been used to secure the tops.

 

All baseboards have now been prepared except the two end boards which need modifying, one to take thecsea cliff scene and the other the waste rubbish disposal site.

 

Track plan confirmed after testing out all the moves we want to make.

 

Additional stock purchased eg Azuma. Class 68.

 

3d printed domestic waste containers.

 

All track purchased.

Progress has been slower than hoped since the last post. Preparation for the first club show for 3 years took priority. The show was successful and agreement made that the 60 th show will take place over the weekend of 30th September 1st October. 
 

The club committee met earlier this month and agreed that the team could have space in the clubs to erect the whole 24ft of the layout and that it has approval and budget for a further 12 months. 
 

it will not be ready for September but the aim is to have a display of progress and perhaps space permitting perhaps a couple of boards at the show in September.

 

Meanwhile work on stock continues. The scrapyard wagons from Troutons have now been located to the solid refuse  waste ash that is left after burning in the recycled fuel power stations. This is collected and having no commercial use if sent to land fill. Due to the high amounts of carbon black in the ash wagons do get very dirty. Balsa wood loads with magnets buried in the wood have been fitted. The unloading siding is an arm stretch away from the operator position and a magnet wand has been constructed to remove the loads. 
 

wagons need data panels a clearing and brake wheels painted off white.
