Piemanlarger Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Good to see a 'Shed' Where did you obtain it from,everywhere seems to have ran out of models of 66068? I sold it to Leon. i had a spare one here with no sound chip so off it went, save me £96! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Looking good, Good to see another South Wales based layout... Yes you deffo need a at least one 37/9 on the layout for working steel traffic. I'm currently building one using the Bachmann model with scratchbuilt roof... See my workbench thread, just follow the link in my sig. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi Leon, The layout is looking great, you really have an eye for detail and the track colour looks spot on, though I am not sure about that red loco. I bought myself some grass tufts but I think I have the smaller ones James mentioned, I stuck a heap down then removed some. I think some times less is more if you know what I mean. Maybe add some smaller tufts and remove some of the bigger ones. Your depot area is comming along nicely and the fuel tanks look great but a wall around them would be good. I made mine from plasticard with Slaters brick glued to the sides. Cheers Peter, 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacer lover Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 hey leon i must say great layout , it does have the south wales feel to it cant wait to see more of it btw love the 56 . i got that one my self too:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hola all. Thanks Pacer Lover, where in the Valleys are you ? Had 30 min or so in the atic this evening, took a pinta bow with me so go no work done at all, the servicing point is still just trackwork. Going to place an order for some lights for the wagon wks and also the Corus plant. Soo much arriving through the post and not getting built, starting to build up a bit now. Loco inspection platform has been her for weeks but no servicing facility ready to use it... Have got two out of three floodlights wired up, bit tempory wiring at the mo just wires wrapped together. Anyway got a few pic on the Blackberry not cam so quality no great. Not sure when I will get anything more productive done sorry. Leon. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the plasticard here for sometime now ready for the retaining walls, its time or a team of about 6 people is what I need to get things done...lol. Not really worked on the details yet, just trying to get the basics down then I can concentrate on improving and adding more realism and detail. Thanks for the pics. All the best Leon.

Leon Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Having just arrived at Newport Docks a pristine 66068 sits over the inspection pits at the near by servicing point. Hopefully the stable point will be finished soon and I can start renumbering/weathering stock. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hello all, Poked my head into the atic the other day. 1st time in over two months due to getting a wife... Discovered that part of the "plastic" concrete area for the serving/fueling point has warped in the heat and now needs replacing. Really need to get a velux in there to let some air and light in... Hopefully will resume some work on the layout soon. Regards Leon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
