Andrew P Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Just a quick pic of how I imagine the Bridge and Pub will fit into the equation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jamest Posted March 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi andy, Looking forward to following this - plenty of boxes ticked for me. The scenic run is looking great - If you have space, and I know a lot of people don't, it looks so much better to have scenic run prior to the station. all the best, james Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Cheers Guys, Thanks for all the Likes, etc. I've completed the final Polarity check on the Points this morning, so the next job will be to paint the Track in the Station area and on the Embankment before Ballasting that section.

Andrew P Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi Guys and Thanks, and NO Ian, give me time, hahha. As for the track painting, I will do some pics, but it will simply be 3 pots of Tamyia Acrylic Humbrol Enamel, (I changed my mind) and dabbing a brush from one to the other so as not to end up with just one colour, and definitely NOT bright orange you see at some Exhibitions. The Sleepers will be more of a Grey / Brown, then with some sooty areas done afterwards where Coaling takes place or Locos Stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold fishytrains Posted March 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2017 Another layout to follow and marvel at. Looking forward to seeing how things turn out the time. Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Please share some details on your track painting.. Something I need to do and I'm not quite sure where to start! So for the Track Painting I didn't use the Acrylics I normally use because the Bull Head Track appears smoother than the Code 100 and the Paint didn't take. So instead I used Humbrol Enamel, 33, Matt Black, 62 Leather, and 27 Matt Grey. They were put onto a bit of old Plasticard and the Brush just dabbed from one colour to the next and mixing as I go. TBH it doesn't look neat at the moment, but once dry and the Rail tops cleaned and it's all neatly ballasted it will look fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I like the effect on the rails. Something else I've learnt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Duncan, Thanks, the Rail tops will be cleaned today and then I hope to look at fixing it all in place and start the Ballasting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted March 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks.. Looking good. I was thinking of spraying the majority of mine. I'm very carefully laying the track, getting the point motors working and wiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, I see you've taken off like a rocket again!Please show us details of joining the bullhead to f/b points. Is it reasonably straight forward? Oh- you've probably done it by now! Regards, Rich.

Andrew P Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks.. Looking good. I was thinking of spraying the majority of mine. I'm very carefully laying the track, getting the point motors working and wiring. I've used Rattle cans in the past with good effect but my Railmatch Sleeper can won't work despite being almost full, and also I didn't want to get the Airbrush out last night and set it all up, hence doing it by Brush.

Hi Rich, I've just used normal Code 75 Fish Plates as recommended by the man in the Peco Shop in Beer and they fit fine. Apparently there will be some special Bull Head Fish Plates out eventually.

RMweb Gold nickwood Posted March 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2017 Typical Andy thread, two days, two pages (probably three by the time I finish typing this) and I already feel that I'm late for the party. Nice start. I like the long run into the station with lots of grassy fields that you've planned. Plenty of scope for some coos to serve the dairy.
