brian daniels Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Where does time go! I haven't been sat on my laurels but I have been building a Heljan diesel depot with a few additions. I have had to leave one bay out as that makes it too long to fit on this layout without major surgery and it was just not worth the effort. First thing to do was to clad the roof with Slaters plasticard corrugated sheet. I got hold of some 3D printed mushroom vents for the roof, not maybe 100% correct but it adds something to the roof. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian daniels Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Next bit was to change the doors to roller type which takes away a bit of the top of the opening as it's a bit tall. Guttering was added with L shaped plastruct and downpipes made from brass rod. The clamps to attach it to the wall are 3D prints from Modelu. The front clock is a dolls house one from ebay. 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian daniels Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 I have lit the interior with 6 LED's. Also scanned the clock and glued the printout to some thin plasticard then made a brass back a few mm deep and illuminated the clock as well. I am slowly getting bits and pieces for the interior. 10 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hi Brian, I've just come back to this thread after searching to see if s PWM had been done in 7mm. One of these would fit in great on the South Wales based yard layout I acquired from Marc Smith last year. Yours looks really good in yellow. I'd also go with yellow so it fits my later time period of the early 90s. I haven't yet looked to see if the kit is still available, but what was it like to build? I must confess to not having done a great deal of building stuff from brass. Cheers, Wayne 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
