marc smith Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Richard, I can't believe this thread is now 11 pages, and I STILL like to keep up with it! Some great photos, and the details are just getting better & better, love the backscene & trees ....and how did you get hold of your birthday present early?

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted May 16, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi used to be a couple of 06s that used to hang about Dundee early 80s. They were withdrawn there too. http://www.flickr.co...157605329209629 06 006 and 06 005 Got a few rides in and out of central platforms a few times when releasing 26s and 27s from Edinburgh/Glasgow stock. Ahhh the memories Chris Hi Chris, Thanks for the link. I know that the 06 are out of region for a Devon layout, but I do like them! Was a bit of an impulse buy from Michael and Judith Edge at York and to be honest destined for a new industrial layout, where the idea being that locos had been bought from BR when withdrawn. The only photos I can't find though are any showing the cab interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe it either that I have now reached 12 pages and 270 odd replies! It's amazing what can be achieved with a small layout! I'm pleased with the way that the trees have turned out behind the shed and really help to finish everything off! The secret with the birthday present is to buy it myself, my wife not knowing one end of an engine from the other! Much easier to buy it myself! Now need to weather the 33 and will post some photos when done, but need to find suitable first, so need to look through my books etc. Cheers Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted May 20, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2011 Excellent photos looking inside the shed MM, you have done a great job detailing the inside of the building. Great work! Hi Grimleygrid Thanks for your comments. I have been trying to get some more detail into the shed and will gradually add more as and when I can get bits made. I will probably not add much more onto the rest of the layout, but intend to add more detail to the inside of the shed. Most of the details so far have come from books that I have trawled through from around the period being modelled, but could probably could find more. Most of what I have is black and white, so sometimes difficult to make out the details as these seem to be in the gloom. Of course, these books being contemporary with the period modelled, the definition is often not as good as nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted May 20, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2011 I have given my new Heljan 33 a light weathering in readiness for next weekend. Considering changing the steps to those by PH Designs and I know the shape at the bottom of the cab is slightly wrong, but don't really want to start modifying - I can live with it for the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted May 29, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 29, 2011 We had a couple of visiting locos to Orchard Road today (thanks Will from Deviot Dock). Unfortunately I couldn't get the correct colour balance so have tweeked the colours a little to get closer to how they should be, but not quite right! Didn't look too out of place to be honest! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted June 3, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've been busy painting a few more details to add to the inside of the shed, so will add these once the layout has been set up. I've also had a go at a couple of new wagon loads and will make their debut tomorrow! Looking forward to the weekend in Exeter - come over and say hello. May also have a very unusual visitor as well!

RMweb Premium DLT Posted June 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2011 Orchard Road was looking great at Exeter, many thanks for letting me have a play. You were a bit tucked away in a corner, but you always seemed to have a good group around the layout. All the best, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
