They are much appreciated. Glad you like the scrapyard. I bought a small part of it at a local exhibition. I then added parts to it. Parts of engine bodies that were 'butchered' etc. have now ended their days in the yard. Old plastic wheels and the like are 'rusted and weathered' then added. Rather simple to do. Just something a little different from the 'norm'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 The railway line at the rear of the layout. Not seen from the control area. As the line is a secondary route and as the story goes, has just survived the 'Beeching cuts' there is a overgrown feeling. Not everything is 'prim and proper' here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 When the grandchildren visit the little engines, coaches and goods wagons come out. The vehicles are easy to handle. A 'Terrier' complete with driver and fireman An 0.4.0 locomotive in LSWR livery also with driver and fireman plus 'smoke'. Another 0.4.0 locomotive. Originally 'Percy' from the Thomas range. Now repainted, crew added and smoke. Awaiting a new nameplate. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Adding 'little bits'. The engines have driver and fireman. The brake van has a guard. Military personnel are on the platform with their kit. Hudson Ward Flour Millers wagon outside Hudson Ward's building. A Fairbairn Lawson wagon outside Fairbairn's. A goods train passes through the station. The engine was formally 'Percy' from the Thomas range. The private owner wagons are of businesses in that were (if not now) in Leeds.

6990WitherslackHall Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) What varnish did you use for the puddles? Edited June 30, 2020 by 6990WitherslackHall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Hi 6990WitherslackHall I have a part used tin of Homebase clear matt varnish from a job done in the house. Waste nothing and all that I thought I'd try that. On application and a short while after it was 'milky' in colour. Fortunately it dried clear. Phew! I gave the whole area two or three coats, the puddles a few more. Pieces of plastic were placed over the puddles and 'bedded in' and a little debris of coal etc. to finish. A two day job at a very easy pace. I have just acquired some figures that need painting to finish the area. The Salvation Army lady was one of them.

NorthBrit Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well before sat navs and the like a lorry driver was often seen 'asking the way' to wherever. In our village the local Hunt was often seen. Outside the old Coach and Horses Inn. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
