67A Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi all, Just to say I will be going to the Manchester show tomorrow and I will try to make an RMWeb badge, so if you are there please say 'hello'. No modelling till Sunday I'm afraid guys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi all, Done some more work on the Station Masters house today, the first three photos are of the rendered elevations done earlier. 2015-11-28 11.25.34.jpg The station approach elevation 2015-11-28 11.25.54.jpg The railway side elevation 2015-11-28 11.26.06.jpg Both above elevations 2015-11-28 11.26.25.jpg 2015-11-28 14.27.29.jpg 2015-11-28 15.24.06.jpg The 'Coal Road' roadside elevation 2015-11-28 11.26.35.jpg 2015-11-28 14.27.40.jpg 2015-11-28 15.24.14.jpg The rear elevation Could not do any more as I ran out of Wills SS76 'Quoins' put an order in immediately so should get them during the week. No running trains I'm afraid guys. Slow on the uptake as ever, I've only just come across your thread, Mike. Absolutely superb modelling. I know Dent station reasonably well from passing through it many times and you have really captured it to a 'T'. Love the emerging station master's house too. What is the clear plastic/perspex you used for the basic shell of the building? I could really do with something like that for a depot admin building I am about to make. Keep up the great work. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave Hi Dave, Thanks for joining in! Now the winter is here you have looked in just as 'modelling' time gets busy. All the buildings with the exception of the signalbox which is a 'York Modelmaking' kit are constructed using 2mm Pexspex as the basic shell, I use superglue with activator for joining, hope that helps.

67A Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Hi Mike, Have a great day at Manchester today mate! I'm awfully sorry but I'm going to miss you as I have another engagement today (for shame!) - I'm there Sunday instead. Hope to get to meet you another time. Cheers, John. Hi John, Yes I remembered you were not going today, I know you are in the MMRS but I have to admit my friends and I were disappointed in this years show based on previous shows. We found it far too busy and verging on a H&S issue. It was also very warm but no warmer that the Co-op building once used and the quantity of the layouts was vastly reduced on expectations, I was looking for another floor to be honest. I could not get close enough to take a decent photo without being barged so didn't bother. Sorry about the negativity but as a past exhibition manager I feel its important to receive honest feedback, hope you are not offended. Edit to add: Forgot the cafe was woefully inadequate but this was outside your control I know. Edited December 5, 2015 by mike61680 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hi Mike, No problem at all, thank you for your honesty! That's no sarcasm, I do mean it and I will bring your viewpoint to those in charge. Your comments may be negative as in they're not positive but they are constructive so we appreciate them. Definitely not offended, mate, thank you. Cheers, John. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi guys, Did not manage any modelling this weekend as I had the Manchester show yesterday and was doing some reorganising in the den today. I did manage to set a couple of trains going to keep me on my toes! EE Type 4 D368 exits the north portal of Widdale tunnel with a Perth bound parcels. In the southbound direction Robin Riddles unfortunate Class 8 Pacific 71000 'Duke of Gloucester' just gives himself away by the presence of the double chimney. The 'Duke' rumbles over Monkey Beck D368 is closing on the signalbox with the northbound parcels Its only now we get a sight of the load for 71000, looks like another parcels. 71000 digs into the cant as the train powers south. Meanwhile the signalman is bracing himself and checking for loose items as the box begins to rattle. More to follow... 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted December 6, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2015 Great batch of pics - and I don't think I'd have liked to be up at Dent during the recent storm! Good to see you having fun with the layout. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 67A Posted December 6, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2015 The old and new order cross paths through Dentdale 71000 will come off at Leeds for onward haulage to Sheffield. The Type 4 disturbs the ladies while the driver of the Ribble service to Carlisle is taking a break. Overhead view of the proceedings. Low level spotters view. Thats it for now. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted December 6, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2015 Great pictures, Mike. Love the rolling stock and scenery even more perfect. I'm sure it's got longer since we saw it. Must be all that sheep territory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock67B Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Morning Mike, Sorry to have missed these when posted- I think the 'cant' is really impressive and often missed on model layouts. Your Duke looks superbly weathered in an understated way! As Andy said, thanks for our weekly fix - always something to look forward to. Kind regards, Jock.

67A Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hi all, Been a busy week I'm afraid so no time for playing trains but this what I have been up to...sorry about the picture quality the setting was an 'auto' - just a joke! The first 4 show the dressed stone and cement rendered wall with corner quoins now all complete. The next 4 show the roof constructed and in place And here a couple to show its eventual position on the layout That is as far as I have got, bit of a paint job next! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it for now Very nice - in fact just one digit short of perfection! A class 60 looking at their best in coal sector livery. and...Thanks again Mike for posting the latest batch of steam/diesel photos. For some reason I always particularly like the ones looking along the length of the layout. Cheers Alan Edited December 13, 2015 by 60091 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
