I've always liked the livery - COLAS 60021 a renumber and weather - with time constraints motivation and a bit of bipolar I’ve decided on remodelling and bringing former Scottish layout Caerbannog up into today. 

 

Cheers

Any more progress on this ???


Slow. The loss of Transport Models closing for good and the backup of no exhibitions for sourcing materials isn’t helping. I have to make do with scraps from the bitsbox. Ironically might have a look at it today with a few changes in mind. 
 

Cheers.

COLAS 60021 on a fuelling point:

 

June 2015 - 60021 was low on fuel at Colnbrook so ran up to Reading TCD for a pit stop. Certainly made a nice change from the usual fare of DMUs!

021 on the yet built Servicing Point. Rail bonded to MDF. Did well to maintain correct spacing.

Please forgive the thread hijack, but what is the box conecting your controller to the layout?

 

Thanks

Testing rail bonding to MDF. It's a junction box from a house pendant lights wiring kit  - I didn't need them when I fitted the lights.

 

Useful and they just keep things tidy I suppose with a closing lid.

The modernisation continues bringing the location into the present - structures unfinished as yet.

Really like the first picture, has exactly the right 'feel' to it. Great modelling

These photos are handy as it shows that in real life you can have clean locos and almost pristine depots etc without the need for lots of grot or weathering.
