Wigan Wallgate OO Gauge Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Keep it up Trev, I always enjoy your updates. And if you do ever decide to sell the layout, it'd be nice to see it sold to someone on here. Just don't do anything that you'll wish you hadn't in a few months time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted August 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2017 I've often felt the same recently like selling Ashbridge and starting again with a minimum size diesel standing just to show my diesel fleet. But I've got a couple of kits to build that may give me the kick up the backside. But like others have said I think it's probably that time of year. Hang in there matey.

woodenhead Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Don't sell, you'll regret it. When you've got your mojo back start your next layout and only once you're happy with the new one think about selling the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with the long nights coming back i will get back in the zone. I think whats putting me off is a big job on point control which Ive been delaying for a while. Once I have done that I think Ill feel a bit better. Cheers Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big T Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 I dusted off a few locos and cleaned the track and thought "Yeah I'll have a play tonight". Ive got a Bachmann Jubilee to detail, weather and sound fit . I think I'll do this at the weekend. One of my first little jobs was to fit a new 8 pin decoder to a Heljan chassis Ive had for a while. But typical the thing doesn't work properly! Ive got lights but no drive. I think the decoder is faulty as I tried it on two chassis. Doh. Oh well, it was only a cheapo one and I know from old that Heljan chassis draw a hefty ampage..... A few pics from tonights shunting: Cheers Trev 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big T Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Spent an hour or so tonight adding bufferbeam detail to one of my Bachmann Peaks. In this case its 46053. I couldnt be bothered to re number it, so it stayed as 053. I know the loco is slightly out of my proposed time frame and region, however I am fairly lenient when it comes to 40's and 45's. I dont know why - 45106 was my last one, but it combusted as we all know and was dispatched to TI before I could see it and thence scrapped. 46053 was an Eastern Region loco, based off Gateshead. Delivered as D190 in Jan 1963, she had a brief stint at Holbeck in 1964, returning to GD until withdrawal in Feb 1981. She was moved to Derby Works and was scrapped there in July 1981. I then made a start weathering it, Ill leave it a day or so to go off then Ill add detail, paint chips, splats, scrapes and rain marks. I might sell it once I'm done. Im sure someone with a 1980's BR Blue era layout would benefit from it more than me! cheers for looking Trev Edited September 14, 2017 by big T 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
