i have been looking for an oddball livery to put on one of the type 2 fleet, they were all fairly standard early on in TOPS days. The only difference being number positions depending on where they were overhauled. I managed to find a picture of 24 076 in 1976 on the derby sulzers site. It appears there only 2 done like this. Heres my version on Polmadie.

Have been wondering how to fill the space at the right hand end where the tracks will come out of the hidden sidings, there will be two road overbridges one single and one double. I wanted to block the view through with something and this may do the trick.

Hi, after Polmadies untimely demise under five fully stoked shelves I will now be concentrating on Wiganish. The view from  the rear side of the shed was supposed to be uninteresting hence the painting experiments. It was going to be unaccessable due to the fixed backscene, will now make this removeable to give Derby Works / Tinsley type photos to be taken as in the views of 20 032 the newest member of the fleet. This mimics the view taken by Norman Preedy in the 1974 Combine. Have posted original, if I'm breaking any rules I will remove it.

Even to a die hard steam fan the quality of the work produced so far is brilliant

Wow thanks for that, I try to model within my fairly basic modelling skills. Thats why I always use photos and have set 1976 as a timescale, don't need to use much imagination as the parameters are set. I use loco shed allocation books to get the correct loco for the area modelled. The trackplan ts closely based on the Wigan diesel shed. Thats the easy bit, it has taken over 9 months to find the correct ,for me,shade for the shed brickwork. Heaven knows the trauma ballast and ground texture are going to cause! The shunters cabin has had a coat of the same brick colour as the shed. Will post a shot tomorrow when the paint is dry and windows refitted.
