Hope some of my treatment helped,see you soon BrianT Cheers bri, yes the stock weathering was a regular topic of conversation, your skills were mentioned to a number of modellers. And for any readers of the thread this is the man to thank, and approach, all the wagon stock, and containers received his grubby attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yep the weathering looked just right and Paul was generous in admitting what others had done to complement his work. Looking forward to getting the pics up on a bigger screen to check them out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope some of my treatment helped,see you soon BrianT Brian - there's a (nasty) rumour circulating that you and I may get an invite one evening, to an operating session. . But we have to go within the next twelve months, and we have to nod enthusiastically and stare open mouthed at the shield on Paul's mantlepiece ! The other Brian. . . . . . . . . .

sdw7300 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well done Paul. Very much well deserved! Hoping to see this at Stafford in the new year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted October 26, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) It was good to see this for real at Taunton, thanks for taking the time to talk & show the Trackmobile. It must be very difficult talking & operating at the same time but you seemed to manage with enthusiasm! Well deserved the award too; "Vopak" "Creedyford" and "Acacia Avenue" were the 3 that attracted my attention most.

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted October 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2015 Paul, great to have our brief chat over the weekend. Superb layout, but didn't really get enough time to study as closely as is would have liked. Will need to make sure I leave enough time when we come up to Stafford in February!

naturol Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 The Taunton show have now updated their website with a review of this great event. Follow the link and be encouraged to try and attend next year, a cracking show. http://www.somersetrmc.org.uk/Rail-EX/Review.htm The layout is now being serviced ready for its next outing, found some merit traffic cones, and additional Kadees, so a few hours of TLC later. Sourced more ply, so time to start planning what I'm gonna build next. Tunnel, concrete ring plant, a re make of castle works, Additional board for Vopak with a loop, 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Common sense prevails. Email from PR @ DOW CORNING. I can use their name when describing the layout. Personally though, I'm sticking with Vopak. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a simple search on the Internet produces plenty of results. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturol Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Been adding more bits and bobs of detail over Christmas, had another invite, this time to the swansea show this October. Visited the Cogan leisure centre swap meet yesterday, picked up this part built kit with all the rest still in box. Cracking model of an essential vehicle down at Dow. Someone has already started scratch building 4mm cabs. £5.00. Happy days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 How about a couple of these for something different I think this was even taken in Wales! A couple of them are on my bodge list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdw7300 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hi Paul. Great to speak to you today and see the layout in the flesh at Stafford. It's even more special in real life, the level of detailing is amazing. It was one of the only layouts I was allowed to look at for more than 30 seconds before my 5 year old got bored! Hope the rest of the show goes well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
