RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted July 3, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2022 Some new new arrivals turned up at castle Howl, whilst i was at work on Friday. Two SECR 5 plank opens in SR brown from Rapido and a LSWR 10 ton Goods brake van in SR brown for Kernow. Three link couplings will be fitted and weathering will soon commence. Even the little people from canal side had to come down to the work bench for a look. Really impressed with the level of detail on these wagons, second photo is a comparison between the rapido wagon and my older Bachman one. regards Paul. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of weeks ago I got canal side out of storage and decided to make some changes. The track plan just wasn’t working that well so up it came. I removed the left hand point that was in the centre and replaced with two sets of straight track, their is now a right hand point under the bridge that connects them and a new fiddle yard that extends beyond the board. Then it was a case of redoing the wills sets and adding a bit of greenery. I have also made a hinged lid for the layout. The right hand section is still pretty much my original cake box scene from 2018. Regards Paul. This is absolutely fantastic, and very well done. Truly inspirational Can you confirm the actual finished size of the whole thing, not just the track area please? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted July 4, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4, 2022 First bit of weathering done on the new wagons, all done using humbrol weathering powders. I will go back to them in a few days and touch up a few areas that aren’t quite right. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacathedrale Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 How did you do the cobbles? very effective! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted July 5, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thank you, they are just Wills cobble sheets the real trick is to fill the gaps between them. In terms of painting i spray them grey then paint them black and while the black paint is still wet wipe it of leaving paint between the cobbles once dry i then add a bit of weathering using powders. Photos below probably illustrate it better than my words. Regards Paul. 10 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacathedrale Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Ah very nice, the joins are always quite obvious when I see them so some filler/etc. probably not a bad idea. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
