Deltic Man Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Good Evening all Here is the latest update. I have finished spraying all the lines so I thought I would look to build the concrete pas for one of the sheds. The pad is made out of herculite and once set I sprayed it with weathered concrete. I'm still not brave enough or sure how to fill the centres so ideas are welcome Nik 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanks522 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Looking very nice, If you want to fill in the centre of the track you could get some length's of scrap rail and glue it alongside each running rail to give a groove for the flange to run in, then just fill in the middle with whatever you made the pad out of.

andypops Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hi Delticman, I've just finished reading your thread from the beginning, and it is absolutely superb. Your stock collection is simply phenomenal, and two parts in particular really piqued my interest. Firstly, the collection of DRS locos really do look fantastic, and must have cost a pretty penny! Secondly, the sandite / RHTT train looks incredible. I would love to have the skills to build one myself, or even find someone who I could trust enough to build such a fantastic model as yours! I would be really thankful if you could point me in their direction! I'll be following with interest, Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltic Man Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi All I have managed to do a bit more to the layout including some ballasting and an extension to the concrete pad where the shed sits (photos to follow) . I have also found the roof for the shed but it needs a bit more repair work but overall it's slowly starting to take place. Also a nice item arrived in the shape of a ECoS system which has already wowed me it terms of what it can do. Please feel free to comment on what you see.

Deltic Man Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Evening all Here are a couple of pictures of the new concrete pad extension. It's been a pain to do but I think I prefer it to a card version as the texture helps the look and feel. More to follow soon. Nik 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltic Man Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Right following some painting and ballasting and a bit of a play adding some bits and pieces the depot is taking shape at last. There is a long way to go but it starting to feel more like a depot now. The next task is build the retaining walls and and some greenery and weathering Nik 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold McC Posted January 29, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wow!! How did you do the wall between the mainline and the depot? I love the 'before and after' shots - concrete pad - to stunning, detailed depot, in one photo ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Good stuff - yes as commented I like the wall near the MPD - caught the scene well having the wall at an angle instead of linear - office block looks a bit isolated in all the space any plans?

Deltic Man Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi all Thanks for the comments Need to fill the pad with more clutter. Tanks are knighting kits The fencing is off eBay and is still available form seller harleyman Nik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltic Man Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Good Evening Managed to get ballasting and weathering done but also managed to add some greenery and a mobile tower. Also took a couple of photos of the shed and some locos. Nik 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltic Man Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Just a bit more modelling done so far so I thought I would take a few more pictures of locos on the layout so far. 31601 and 60059 are both repaints from Jon G at Peakdale the 31 being sound. Although it feels slow at points the pictures are starting to show the sort of scenes im lookinf for. Also 47974 waits it's path for the triangle down the helix Nik 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Good Evening Managed to get ballasting and weathering done but also managed to add some greenery and a mobile tower. Also took a couple of photos of the shed and some locos. Nik hate to be picky, but, the mast for the mobile phone antennas looks great, but it needs some sort of equipment cabinet at the bottom to house all the radio kit that would be connected to all those antennas. Also, how would the maintainer get to the site? brilliant depot scene BTW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
