bescotbeast Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Looking Impressive - Very nice. Cheers, Bob. Looking great David Love the last picture, quality traction.. Unfortunately where I am the Internet isn't great so I can't see the pictures but it is sounding vet good... Nestor Looking good nice job on the lift up section Love the 128, that livery does suit them Tempted......... Tempted....... :nono: Maybe next month!!!!!! Coming on great, I like the 20's and 47 stabled together Jinty ;-) Thank you all for your kind words. I'm having some building work done in Sept/Oct but I intend having another get together once the work is finished and the house is back to Mrs Barnes liking. I'm really pleased at how the layout is now running as the little niggles kept spoiling the fun of running trains. I can't thank Ian enough as it's his helpful suggestions on the trap door and on the gradient that prompted me to look long and hard at fixing these issues. Even Mrs Barnes likes the new look as she spent 15 happy minutes yesterday watching the trains running round and taking some lovely pictures on her fancy camera (pictures too follow soon).

bescotbeast Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Taken the time to paint some DCE wagons I've had sitting around so I can expand the range of trains passing through Pendeford Sidings. Firstly 3 Bachmann 16 tonners given to me by a friend as surplus to his requirements have been transformed into ZHVs 3 ZHVs by bescotbeast, on Flickr Painting finished by bescotbeast, on Flickr And I've had a Limby Crane pottering about which I've now given it's own Bolster C jib runner and Hornby Stanier brake Bescot DCE trip by bescotbeast, on Flickr Crane and runner wagons by bescotbeast, on Flickr 86504 finally has some wire loops so that it can haul trains 86504 Speedlink by bescotbeast, on Flickr 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Like the breakdown crane with the bogie bolster as match truck, and that last picture of the RF class 85 at a low angle is brilliant. Jinty ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Right another update, the Cement siding idea has been scrapped and this has now become Pendeford DCE Tip and has been extended by about 3 wagon lengths to accommodate longer trains of spoil laden wagons Pendeford DCE tip by bescotbeast, on Flickr The revamped incline has been landscaped with some plaster and painted brown bank added by bescotbeast, on Flickr bank added and painted by bescotbeast, on Flickr I've been busy painting some wagons to populate my new DCE siding B/Van and ZHV wagons by bescotbeast, on Flickr Shark Ballast plough by bescotbeast, on Flickr 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jintyman Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi Simon, I take it you know about this site: http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/paulbartlettsrailwaywagons I've found loads of interesting examples off there, like a 21t HTO hopper wagon that I modelled as an ED one!!! You have a wonderful selection of wagons there already, I want one of those 'Dutch' Shark brakes too Jinty ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi Simon, Latest wagons are looking good, I have a few ZHVs made up from old Airfix and Parkside kits. it was a real pain making up the data panels. I have an old Stanier brake myself and was thinking of repainting it, yours looks really good. The shark looks good too, I have transfers somewhere if you need some. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like some more ZHVs to make a full train up and I'll probably go the Parkside route for cheapness and variety. The wagons and brakevans were donated to me by a good friend of mine from Flickr who is a mine of information regarding wagons etc. Painting wise all I've done is applied a coat of Halfords Grey primer then bought some aerosol cans of Railmatch u/frame grime and Rail grey, the yellow bands are hand painted, I'm pleased with the end results. If you've got some Shark transfers let me know what you want for them and I'll gladly use them. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi Simon, The 16t minerals are a minefield but from memory most ZHVs were the later built ones with top door removed and clasp brakes, I am sure your mate will be able to help you choose the correct Parkside kits as they do a few different ones. You can have the transfers, people have given me stuff over the years so no problem, they will be wasted here as I don't need them. They are Modelmaster waterslide ones so you need to cut round the edge. I have ZUV and ZUB which i think is air braked vac piped, you can have both just in case you get another Shark. I will also send the Shark name plus other bits. PM me your address and I will post them of to you. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bescotbeast Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 My skinhead Class 31 which I've had for a while now and which has caused much head scratching on my part as too what to do with it finally has it's identity. My original intention was to respray it into plain Railfreight Grey as 31102 "Cricklewood" but with major building work taking place on our house I've had to trim my modelling budget right back so out came my 1988 ABC to find a loco that could fit the bill. 31107 fits the bill perfectly, it's in the right livery and was part of Bescots DCMA pool so I'll be able to use it on my Spoil trains.
