Grimleygrid Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks Leon, those Pikestuff roof vents look superb. Just been doing some research for Boxenby and they will be perfect. Normally I use enamel thinners used gently with cotton buds, it might be worth trying that in an area where the new plate will go first. This worked fine for removing the nameplate on 60077 but the later models such as 60066 didn??™t work too well. Good luck, I look forward to seeing her. One day I would like to model 56073 Tremorfa Steel Works in this condition: http://stevejackson....t/p3099623.html Nice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremorfa Steelworks is also on my list to get but not quiet in that state, pre Transrail I think. if you can get that one right which im sure you will then she will look fab on your layout.

Georgie!! Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hiya Leon, Ok matey, no worries, I still got plenty of use for them Ya get a 66!! Thats up to you bud!! The 66s started to pop around 1998-2000 although back then they went through the train wash, now they dont lol!! But ya, a 66 would fit in just keep clean or perhaps if you do weather your locos, just do the bogies and fuel tanks Regards George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Cheers bud, the weathering powders worked well I think on the tower. The "Fleet" is doing fine mate, you have a healthy amount of locos. What you working on tonight? Im out of beers so a JD and Halfords grey paint for me then..not a good mix.

Leon Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Tonight I resprayed the wagon works, your grey shed gave me the idea. Its now Ford Halfords Grey instead of white. Put some H&S yellow paint around the steelwork enterance. Wife home now and she does not like me being in the atic... Getting closer to the MPD area, ordered some grass from International models. So hopefully that will be here by Thursday, a day off, to finish the open areas off. Better go clean my brushes. Catch you later mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Leon... I agree with Georgie... The Building Doors look great with the Yellow Round it... All looking great matey... Keep up the fine work dude... Also Regarding the H&S that Georgie mentioned about... Do they catch you falling when you made the scratch, which I cant see. Have you filled in the H&S Book so you can make the claim, and with the money get the rest of the Layout built...? LOL... Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 George, Take a look at this one. I have sinned ! 66068 pictured here in South Wales will soon be mine. Ive been converted to the Crimson side ! EWS is comming. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will look the part on steel wagons or even a umm a... army Tanks but she will still look the part! May I ask where you purchased her from as everywhere else is sold out now?? Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Not got her yet, but if and when I do see one I will get it. If I see anywhere selling them I will let you know. I just seen it on the Bachmann site. I was looking for one that has worked in S Wales. Seen as they were imported through Newport I may have a prestine one "just off the boat" ready for trials.

You working on that TMD today ? Everywhere is just out of stock, I got no idea why, one minute a website is saying theres 10 in stock next its completely taken off the loco list!! Hopefully they will bring out a new numbered EWS 66 Ya that would work straight off the boat No matey, no work has been done, being at college this afternoon and I dont get home until 6, Im always tired after battering metal and welding all afternoon, so for rest of the night I just relax on this website When it works Day off tomoz so I shall get some bits sorted out!!

Arpleymodeller Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi George I will be going college starting this september and as the course is only 3 days a week that will mean some more time modelling I hope hattons or somewhere re stocks 66068 as I want as many number variations as possible.

Leon Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi all, Planning is now underway for the serving/stable point. The original plan was 3 road, one holding TTA's for depot fuel the other two for holding loco's. Due to having more room than expected I am now planning to extend the service are to 5 roads as follows, 1st road will still hold the TTA's, 2&3 will have inspection pits and access to the serving/maintenance shed with road 3 having fuel. 4 will be for locos to stable between work and 5 as on overflow to stable loco's if needed or to house the depot stores wagons. Have included a few pics to show the idea, the beer can is only there to represent fuel tanks on nothing else, however please do drink resposably. Cheers Leon. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
