Baggies1961 Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Finally some mojo has returned. I wasn't happy with the area around the goods shed so i spent some time trawling through various threads on here to get some inspiration and ideas of which there were many great layouts. Also decided on a new building for the Builders yard diorama. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Some more progress on the new shed. But, a lot more to do, profiled steel cladding arrived yesterday. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I understand your change of mind regarding the original shed, whilst it looks the part and is nicely modelled I think by replacing it with an open fronted building it will give you what you need ( hopefully ) as well as still having a presence on the layout. Look forward to your progress. G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it was to muddled and cluttered so a change as they say. Regards Julian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Yes I see why Paul, thats a definite price hike from them, I quite enjoyed building the TTA, although by the time you add buffers, couplings and wheels its dearer. Strange how Dapol continue with wagons and Heljan say they make no money from them. Progress so far on the TTA, chassis to paint then weather followed by transfers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 What a shame visiting Mum this weekend thought Id visit Bourton model railway, doors locked and up for sale. A lovely couple ran the shop for decades, obviously retiring, for the thousands of tourists visiting not enough bought from the shop. If only I had a spare £2 million. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Transfers on although the pictures I have of the data panels are white on a black background. Tank needs a dusting of spilt fuel and some picking out of detail still to do. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwr Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Much as I would love one I have drawn the line as being too modern! Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backtor Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I must admit I do like the look of the more modern liveries that Heljan have done this time, but as much as I like a good 60, I’m afraid they’re too modern. I might be tempted by another triple grey one at some point in the future. Regards, Cameron 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
