bescotbeast Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Very Nice. Cheers, Bob. The signals definitely look the part. Good work Nestor Thanks Chaps, looking at the above screenshot shows how much more i've got to do. I need to finish painting the rails as well as making a start on adding some MAS troughing, I've also got some brass Portal gantries to assemble from N Brass Locos (no connection just a satisfied customer). The problem is it's directing my limited resources in the right direction, the last couple have months it's gone on new wagons and locos Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well i'm currently working Night shifts but I normally have an hour or two before it gets busy again, so during the lull I found time to build another Cambrian SPA wagon and construct a semi-fictional u/frame for a Hornby PVA wagon. I realise the Procor livery was carried by the longer wheelbase vans but I've imagined that Procor refurbished an old Cambell's Soup van with a new curtain side.

bescotbeast Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Looking great procor wagon looks superb Looking very good Simon, liking the Procor wagon Nestor Thank you gentlemen, i've ordered some buffers for it so over the next few days I'm off I'll give the PVA and the SPA a coat of Halfords grey primer. They should be finished by the time you come and visit Nest as well as a few other wagons/projects. Simon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
