Ha ha, yes Scothern missed out on a railway by a couple of miles and a canal by a lot of miles! Thanks for the compliments again If only the oil terminal could have come a bit closer! :-) Not something I ever imagined I might need to say...

The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Not had much of chance to do much work on the layout this week. Family life and work has put pay to that! Have managed to design and print some lamps for the halt. Based on the Southern Region style concrete ones (just because I like them!) However I designed some plain shades instead of the fancy hexagonal ones! Just need painting up and LEDs adding (these were super fiddly to solder!) Ive included the STL file if anyone wants to print their own (non commercially please) 585699527_stationlamps(3).stl Edited February 23, 2021 by The Lincolnshire Poacher 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grampus Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Sounds great but struggling a mite with the notion of a 56 and 10 plus TEAs as a micro! Been a while since I saw that though! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I used to see 37s with only a couple of tanks behind it at Barnetby. Or even a 66 - http://www.davesrailpics.bravehost.com/barnetby/barnetby31002.htm 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Well been so busy with work and family life haven't had chance to do much modelling this week. But have just designed and printed this pub front, based on "The Morning Star" in Lincoln. Its not going on this layout but may end up on the next one! Thought it would be a good oppotunity to demonstrate my painting techniques. Fresh from the printer (please note lack of PPE) First a blast of Tamiya fine white primer (unfortunately managed to chip the side of the brickwork, but managed to hide it with a little bit of filler.) Airbrushing random black areas (heavier around places there would be naturally shadow) Edited February 28, 2021 by The Lincolnshire Poacher 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Airbrushed patchy coat of Tamiya Hull red thinned heavily with meths. Mix in a little orange to the hull red and mist over in random patches (yes looks pretty messy at this stage!) Next I let the paint dry then flood the entire surface with white spirit then add an enamel wash of dark brown over everything. I let this dry for a few minutes then dab off any excess with tissue.

The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Next a wash over with an orange enamel wash, this instantly feels like you've wrecked the whole thing! But once it settles it gives a nice terracotta hue to the brickwork and ties it all together. Airbrushing the sign and windows, using a piece of thin plasticard as a mask. Added some mists of dark grey to the door (to tone down the harshness of the black) and painted in some of the details with precision paints brass. The "prototype" pub! Can't wait for it to re open! Will hopefully get the rest of the building drawn up and printed this week. Edited February 28, 2021 by The Lincolnshire Poacher 5 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its angled at 45 and 50% density heavy supports. Uses a bit more resin but far better success rates than every other setting I've used. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Not a lot of progress on the layout this week. I have however added a flickering firebox to my old Hornby smokey joe and a dimmer switch to the led lighting rig, so I can create a early evening effect to add a bit more atmosphere. The brazier in the foreground is a 3D print with a orange flickering led glued into the base and super thin balsa wood firewood. Messing around with a few shots on the old iphone Edited March 6, 2021 by The Lincolnshire Poacher 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 It's very easy to dismiss the Hornby Smokey Joe (& it's myriad variations) as an item that's more toy train set than model, but in the half-light of that photo & with the firebox glow, I would never have identified the loco as that model.!!! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) A little update on the layout. I finished a little bit of scenery at the bridge end (something that Ive been meaning to do since the first lockdown!). I've got a bit obsessed with lighting. and ordered a roll of red and blue LEDs from ebay. Linking each strip to separate potentiometers I hope to be able to replicate dawn and dusk lighting effects. So far I've got the whites and blues wired up, and seems quite promising after a first play around.

The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 Adding directional head lamps to the tiny Ruston. Im not big on soldering or decoders so this really was a challenge. Very happy its all worked and not blown anything up! Adds a little bit more character to this lovely little machine 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
