RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted June 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2018 One the reasons for using electromagnetic uncouplers was to allow other types of couplings to be used. I'm thinking about converting a set of early BR wagons to use Sprat & Winkles. Try DGs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yes, that is also a future option - I just happen to have a fret of S&W already. Dad uses them on his stock, so maybe I should borrow some of his. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 13, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) The next outing for the layout is Sat 23rd June in Crantock, a village just outside Newquay, south of the Gannel, near Poly Joke beach.The model of the cottage is still AWOL, the long wooden building is actually too big for the plot, the model of the small shed opposite Redruth Station is also hiding, so a new, freelance shed will be made today.I'll use card & Scalescenes paper for this, to compliment the construction of the forge.Photos later.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 13, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2018 The shed is made from mount board. I've started to strip the top layer of paper off, to give a rough, rendered surface to the main walls. The side extension is of wood construction, so I've scored the card vertically. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShildonShunter Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Looking good Stu can't wait to see more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 13, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2018 A bit of paint has been slapped on, a base coat each for the main shell and the side shed, plus some basic weathering. I've also prepared the ground to slot the building in. I've also found a small lineside hut which just fits. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShildonShunter Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi Stu the main building and shed are taking shape nicely its amazing what some paint and weathering can do. I like the little lineside hut you have found. Looking forward to seeing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37114 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Nice little layout! I can emphasise with the problems with the 08 hitting the Platform, I had the same issue on a layout, suffice to say that an 08 is now on of the test loco for all of my layout. Good luck with the next show Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 17, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2018 Thanks Rob. No more work has been done, so this week I have to finish and plant the shed and re-make the ground around it. I'd also like to paint the backscene, just some low level background hills, plus plant a tree to the immediate left of the forge to help hide the shadows. Then the lineside shed needs installing, plus the layout frame could do with a coat or two of paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGemAlchemist Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Wow. Only just found this topic and all I can say is "wow". This is excellent stuff Stubby. Very nice work indeed. Definitely giving me some inspiration for my own layout, this is. Keep up this excellent work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 17, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2018 Nice wagons Stu i really like the weathered affect on the wagons. All credit for the wagons goes to Jason T - these four are escapees from Bacup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 17, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2018 Groundwork around the shed started - SEF blockwork laid flat. It will have filler smoothed over to part fill / part hide the 'mortar' joins. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted June 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2018 Looks great Stu. The trick with the outer layer stripped off is just brilliant. The rendered surface is totally convincing. I like how these new buildings are being constructed into an "existing" landscape - as in the real world.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 19, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2018 Two coats of gloss now applied to the frame. Filler applied to the stone slabs next to the shed. Both sides of the shed roof tiled ( individual tiles). Today's tasks: paint the roof and the shed door, and make a roof for the shed's lean to. Tonight's tasks: paint the slabs, paint the backscene... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderforge Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It’s got a wonderful ‘I’m stuck here in the middle of nowhere with a four hour wait til the next train and the bloke in that cottage keeps giving me funny looks’ vibe about it. Will you be adding the sound of distant sheep, half hearted crickets and an occasional strangled crow caw? :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
