It doesn't affect the stock that usually runs on the layout though so it's ok with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Moore Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Took a few photos of it running around the layout too. Didn't look at them until this evening it looks at home in a goods yard. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 A super little loco and I hope you are very proud of it We are conditioned to seeing industrial locos in an unlooked after condition being both dirty and rusting away, so seeing it nice and shily looks a little odd. I also like the look of the trackwork the hand made turnouts look so much better than its RTR equivalents 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just ordered the nameplate so until that turns up I'm not going to weather it as I feel it needs to be fitted beforehand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Moore Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 It's been a while since I posted anything, to be honest I've been doing other things not railway related. I'm part of a small group of em modellers here in Keighley & I opted to make the lanky box for the layout. Times not been kind recently & I haven't had the amount of time I would have liked for modelling. I've had some holidays booked so I've spent some time today in the workshop cutting the first sections of the base. I'm using an etch a friend produced for Hebden bridge signal box windows as the basis for the model. I'm also using a free download of a lanky box as a guide to building my model. So far, so good, I've cut 3 of the 4 walls & cut the windows out which was a fiddle. The double window panel is my second attempt as the first was messed up. I've never been one for building buildings but I am enjoying doing this side of the hobby for a change. Could be the start of a new chapter of modelling for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Moore Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 I had another session this afternoon on the box & got the walls built up on the front & rear. I've re-enfored them with some thick plasticard although the side walls still need doing. Ive cut out the plasticard around the windows so I can insert some glazing on which I'm going to attach the etch windows. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Moore Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 I've now assembled the base although I still need to build a few bits to finish this part off. I'm going to raid my friends stash of microstrip tonight so I can get on woth the windows which I'm really looking forward to doing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
