Wayne 37901 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Just come across this and I have to say it's a lovely layout. Any chance of a rail freight 26 on an early 90s mixed speed link turning up? :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard of the Moor Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks for the kind words, guys. Wayne 37901 said: "Any chance of a rail freight 26 on an early 90s mixed speed link turning up?" Not in the near future. My time period is from the fall of Hitler to the rise of Thatcher, so you're more likely to see a plethora of green shunters turning up via the ever tempting range of Judith Edge. Having said that, a rake of SIlver Bullets and an EWS 66 are lurking in the wings. I just need someone to do the TUA tanks for mud oil traffic.

By the way, are you intending to go to Thirsk on the 27th? If you do, please stop by for a chat with Andy and myself on the 2FS stand. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Stunning layout. Really has that lovely industrial atmosphere. One question, how did you do the ballast and what did you use?? Thanks Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard of the Moor Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 One question, how did you do the ballast and what did you use?? Neil, The ballast between the sleepers is C&L 2mm chippings. Several colours were randomly mixed together. Between and to the side of the tracks I used C&L ash ballast. This was stuck down with dilute Copydex, but I later re-fixed it with Johnson's Klear as the Copydex didn't stick very well to the foam underlay that I used as trackbed. Textured paint from Green Scenes was used to blend the ballast into the scenic ground work and provide the basic colouring for the ballast. I just used the liquid part of the paint for this, leaving most of the sand 'texture' in the bottle. Various mucky washes were then used to bring it to life. Basically, any time that I had some weathering paint left over from something else, I thinned it and spoldged it on. Any holes that have appeared in the ballast have been filled with static grass or more ash ballast. Various scenic scatters and weathering powders have been added a bit at a time, trying not to overdo it in any one area. There's still a lot of scope for adding weeds, rubbish and muck. Thanks for your kind comments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon 40 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Whats happened to this layout not heard or seen anything of it ??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard of the Moor Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 I do apologise for the lack of updates. I was pretty ill for much of last year, got divorced this year and am now living in a much smaller house with no room to set the layout up. However, my modelling mojo is slowly returning and I hope to have some updates on progress soon. Waterloo Street is at the Epsom show this weekend, so say hello if you're visiting. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishlocos Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi Really like this layout I visited Waterloo Goods yard recently and took some photos from the over bridge which you have modelled well here. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted May 6, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2016 James. I'm a wee bit confused. Is this supposed to be the end of the line, as it is now? or is this a yard between Kittybrewster and the yard at the harbour? Either way, great and inspirational modelling. Nice commentary too.

scottishlocos Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hi Here are a few photos of Waterloo Goods as it is today Dave 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
croydon junction Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Here are a few pictures of Waterloo Street at the Nottingham show. Some empty bogie bolsters are removed from the tube storage yard. A boundary wall has appeared around the old warehouses. The skip lorry driver has taken another wrong turning trying to retrieve his missing skip. Better not keep Driver Stanley waiting or he'll get angry! The yard pilot gets ready to sort out another mixed rake of wagons sent down by the ill-trained marshalling staff at Kittybrewster. Shunting Inspector Furmage will not be happy with this situation... A delivery of carbon dioxide heads down to the fertilizer factory. Meanwhile, a few vans full of bagged fertilizer are ready to head out to garden centers from Forres to Findhorn. Readers of a nervous disposition will be happy to note that, following extensive overtime by Grampian's Finest, the missing point levers have been recovered and the Tarry Brig reunited with its paint. To prevent further loon-related losses, the paint has been securely gaffa-taped to the roadway - hopefully only a temporary measure. Any readers with information regarding the whereabouts of a four track span of gas main and its associated support brackets, normally attached to the side of the bridge, should contact the staff bothy, as the kettle is getting cold. Many thanks to Waveydavey for providing most of the stock seen here. (2011-10-22: Edited to fix broken image links.) great tankers, how did you make them? Is there an easy way of modifying a kit or making an rtr model for chemicals? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Is this layout still going, not seen anything of it on here for a while? Cheers Wayne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/135027-expoem-autumn-2018/ for further details Wayne. Thanks for that. I see it lists the layout as 1950's Scotland, surely that should be 1970's going by the photo's on here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard of the Moor Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 I've only just seen that there are some new messages about Waterloo Street. For some reason, I don't get notifications when new posts arrive any more. Anywho... Thanks for the kind words, and for the chance to bring the layout to ExpoEM Autumn, which was very enjoyable. Following a long spell in the doldrums, and some damage in a house move, work is in progress again. The next outing will be to Scaleforum in September 2019, unless anyone has a better idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard of the Moor Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 great tankers, how did you make them? Is there an easy way of modifying a kit or making an rtr model for chemicals? Thanks The CO2 tankers were built from Appleby Model Engineering kits by David Furmage, and lovely models they are too. I thought that someone had announced one of these as RTR, but that won't cover all the variations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it lists the layout as 1950's Scotland, surely that should be 1970's going by the photo's on here? My long term plan is to have removable scenery and two sets of stock to cover both steam and diesel periods. The temptation to rebuild the thing with a scale length and the original trackplan is strong. More sidings, more tedious, pointless shunting... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I've just had another look at this thread. Hope the visit to Scaleforum went well? Unfortunately it was too far to get to for me with work as well, I don't suppose it has any outings before the end of the year? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
