Being in Engineering for 41 yrs I still see them in use today marking trip hazards fluid spills and the like - why they were acquired I'm not sure - maybe it's all part of the railway detritus? - Saying that I’ve not been round a depot since Gresty Road for a few years.

Rich Thanks Rich The SP is partially stripped down at present - I have to reorder and remake the id scenic backscenes as they don't agree with MDF which makes them bubble with heat and moisture - a panel boarded frame is the way forward also with a rear frame as the dampness in the garage tends to warp this too - Atmospherics are always challenging. Front fascias to be profiled and gloss sprayed when the local woodshop eventually reopens. Jock Flangeway Snowplough up for a weather - also 2 Class 27 are and maybe another Blue late 26 out for various work by people far better at it than me - but no real rush for these.

Waverley West Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I've seen a shot showing traffic cones used to mark resurfacing work on a platform at Edinburgh Waverley in the 80s. I think they're everywhere these days and have been for many, many years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Rail Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Traction now despatched for weathering. But no movement on sourcing material for the next baseboard as yet. Edge walling for separating baseboard “B” embankments. Thought this was going to be a chore but turned out quite enjoyable. Details make a lot of difference nothing too tedious - the long tab is to aid baseboard side attachment. Edited May 16, 2020 by Crisis Rail 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Rail Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Backscene removed. Baseboard “B” extension planning with the recycled partially Wills Sheet clad (unfinished) Fuelling - Servicing Shed in more or less it's correct position.

Crisis Rail Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) More progress on the Fuelling Shed for the next baseboard - good spraying days.

Crisis Rail Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Cladding patch repair masking. No images but roof walkways and access ladders are fitted. More wash weathering and signs - to be continued. Ian. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Baseboard “B” nearly levelled to match. Dividing walls added loosely to assess. The track plan is not finalised as there is a number of options most probably to the side and in between the embankment. Yes. I’m making all this up as I go along. C&L on order and a Code 75 inspection pit for the Servicing Shed. Edited November 1, 2020 by Crisis Rail 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

treggyman Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi Thanks for the fast reply... Unfortunately I don't really want the building just the vents so I'll contact them to see if they are available as a separate item.

Thanks again for the reply Cheers Bill Yes - good details - I think it is the old Hornby shed. I raided the kids LEGO years back and found these window shutters quite useful when trimmed and sprayed. Unit models now Frizinghall Models have a decent selection of vents for buildings and such. https://www.modelrailshop.co.uk/b/232/Unit-Models Ian Edited June 2, 2020 by Crisis Rail 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffinhammer Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 What progress, mate. Looking superb. The new 'fuelling/servicing' point reminds me a little of the shed at Leicester. Every layout needs a demic HEA!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
