pitbull1845 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Evening guys, Glad you liked the video, I'm looking forward to the day when all the ballasting and scenery is complete, will look loads better then. Speaking of scenery, my concentration over the last few days has been on the small station approach part of the layout. I'm pretty sure that I wont be modelling any platforms now, this section will be between two road bridges just out of sight of the station. Thats the plan anyway. I have started the Royal Mail terminal, not sure whether to have it as a disused terminal but the siding still gets used for loco/dmu stabling or the RES stock which is now loaded/unloaded in the station. Who knows??? Here are a couple of pictures of work so far. RES stock stabled in the siding with 37371 running light engine from Redbrook Dock Junction.

Satan's Goldfish Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Just seen the Royal Mail depot, my first thought was 'that needs a 325' too! Looks good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Good afternoon and thanks for asking...I wish I had lots to tell you but alas not. Pay day is fast approaching so I'm hoping to get some more track and cork to at least get the trains running around the circuit. I've been busy at work all week with various training days so I haven't been out in the garage much. Cant complain, it was all very interesting! The only bits on the layout that have changed are: Track plan slighty altered on the station approach. I removed two points. The line on the left is going to lead to the docks or steel works (yet to be decided) I've also had a play around with the scenics. the foamboard area will possibilty be an engineers depot. Finally I've had a go at weathering the mail depot and painted the top red. Thanks for looking, I hope to have a bit more done in the near future.

pitbull1845 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for the comments chaps. 66 I did get to use the large white fire extinguisher on top... Tim, I'm 80/20 that its going to be a disused depot with the line being used for stabling anything rather that restrict myself to Res stock. I just need to make it look a bit more run down with weeds and maybe a an old brute . Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Evening, Decided to turn one of my dodgy running 37's into a dummy tonight, 37673 has the official Dummy title. I also removed the motor and the weight in the chassis to make it as light as possible in order for it to be hauled around as part of a double header. Other than that I had a quick play. I've got so much to do that the play element has been neglected for a while. During play time I decided to do a quick video. Nothing super I'm afraid. Work will now stop play for the rest of the week. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull1845 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Morning, Thanks for the comments, I can't take the credit for all of the weathering, the really dirty TEA's are my work, I've been playing with various washes. I wanted the really used look. I must admit they look better on the vid. I've also weathered some of the BDA's and the OBA in the engineers train. I'm still not confident with the airbrush, I can't get it as fine/misty as I'd like. Hopefully get to the model shop later once I've dropped little man off at pre-school. Thats still a drama as it's his 3rd week and hates being left. I need retail therapy to help with the stress and guilt. Cheers Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi Scott, Sorry to hear young Master Pitbull isn't enjoying pre school, I am sure he will enjoy it soon enough. Loved the video, the tank train reminds me of the 100t TEAs we used to send down the Fawley and up to Holybourne. Most trains were formed of ten wagons, yours look very good. I remember one Morning sending a double load of empty TEAs down to Fawley 20 wagons and one class 37, on wet rails. Mega thrash and fireworks from the exhust and plenty of wheel slip so power on power off, just after Six in the morning so probably woke up half of Eastleigh. Cheers Peter.

pitbull1845 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Evening, Thanks Peter for that inside info, I need to get a few more TEA's then bythe sounds of it. I'm sure the residents of Redbrook will be as equally happy as the Eastleigh ones when I start early morning fuel runs due to being awake at all hours when the next junior pitbull pops out! Thanks for answering Swiftys question Britfarmer, looks like I'm going to have to do some more vids as people keep subscribing! Oh and no model shop today, after a big food shop and my Bank holiday shift payment not being paid in this months pay packet I may have to delay the spree. I don't know why I bother with plans as something always crops up to ruin them! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
