naturol Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 looking good Paul , like the yellow crane ! I think I have got an item of your cracking scratch built modelling on the last few layouts now Baz. It's not fixed yet, just located for fun. Can you knock up the block and tackle, or an electric winch for it, ( working obviously) if you got 5 mins free? Lol. Start looking for crap for my tarmac plant, conveyors, screens, silos (square) kiln etc. You've got about two months heads up. Paul. Did you say you can't make the after show de brief? If so, I'll keep you updated. Ps did richard get his documents he left at show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazjones1711 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 electric winch was made but could not find it ! I've prob got a load of bits (junk) that will come in handy for the next project, got some ECC Hornby PGA (resprayed with fox transfers) hoppers approx 14 of them need bit of TLC . Not sure if Richard got his docs , have not seen much of him. Won't make the debrief so keep me upto date Baz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Bit more work on the layout, and a few staged images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 The front of the layout was cut out about a month ago, from 6mm MDF at B&Q. Glued and screwed on and painted up. Gives the enclosed scenario I prefer. Dug out the stock off sanatorium road for a trial run, odd Kadee missing, and details dropped off but I think it will look ok.

naturol Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Additional stock moves proved troublesome and additional track cleaning will be required. Work on the FAA continues, found a white metal kit at a show recently which will be added to the plastic one for a run out on VOPAK. A pair of snow ploughs will need additional Kadees for shunting on the layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturol Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Productive day on the layout. Re wired the mimic board and fitted to the front of layout, Wired in the Powercab fascia. Last of the ballasting and plenty of scenic detail added. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 With the Derby show approaching, (an outing for Vopak terminal) some new stock has arrived at Elliot Rail Services for re-branding. Having arrived on a stock move from Hattons, a set of Dapol Megafrets, and a Dapol KTA are to be respray EWS maroon for a trial run of large boxs from ADJ Newport to Dow. They are currently in the spray oven baking, whilst two former 45' Malcolm logistics boxs are also rebranded in Hapag Lloyd.

naturol Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Looks interesting. What on earth is it?!?It had an artic support truck with it and a small crew cab jeep, and it had "rail cutting and grinding" on the side.The web sites are Austrian, so nothing there yet. But I have read the lorry stats for size etc. 18m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Simon Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Looks interesting. What on earth is it?!? It's a rail milling machine, yet to be allowed on NR infrastructure, but it was used on the London Underground a few months ago Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturol Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Well I've moved house, built a loft conversion, and a new railway room, and made the choice to go to O gauge. The layout room can only hold Vopak, so Elliot rail is being sold. To fund the transition......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted February 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'd just like to say what a cracking layout as I've read the article in the current issue of BRM. Can I be cheeky and ask what's happened to the layout as you state it's being sold. Cheers Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
