Gloucester Road Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Drill tower went up today, weathered it a bit too due to proximity of passing locos. Wall on the right and park area now need some attention as do the roads. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Road Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Nothing to report from the Fire Station today. It was a beautiful Autumn day so cycling was on order. However, I did have a short operating session whilst waiting for the temps to make it into the mid 40s Fahrenheit. 66702 arrived with a very short set of CDAs which were then shunted in Milford Sand and Cement. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Road Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 I have successfully ticked off 2 rights of passage when cycling. Back in September 2016 I had a big high speed crash on my road bike, this past Saturday I crash on my mtn bike. Whilst going off a drop in the woods my pedal caught a portion of the rock and stopped, I went over the bars and over the drop landing headfirst at the bottom; helmet did it's job. Moral of the story put your helmet on. I don't usually go the emergency room, but with fear of neck and spine injury off I went; luckily nothing is broken, very sore and swollen with some possible muscle tears. So I came away lucky. In an interesting twist these arrived In the post, so though cycling might be done for a few weeks, and assuming my right arm works enough to cut, paint and assemble I should be busy. so for all you cyclist out there put the helmet on! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2019 Good to see that the helemt did its job. My bike has been hanging up in the garage for over 10 years and the only thing that is likely to happen is for it to be dusted! Those laser cut items look good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Road Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 66072 had the honour of pulling the new Castle Cement PCAs from Ketton Cement to Milford Sand&Cement. These wagons are amazing; running quality, detail are top notch. With Revolution, Realtrack and other "small manufactures" putting out quality products the big 2 have their work cut out for them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Road Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 My Southwest Trains 170 has been lightly weathered. having looked at pictures it appears that the sides stay pretty clean with the underframe, bogies etc collecting the most dirt. Light application of powders to underframe and front. Used panel ink to pick out roof detail and vents on the side. Before: After: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
