Mr Pix Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hi all. A little more progress on the minerals loading structures. The first building is a feeder that will supply minerals via a conveyor to the main loading bunker that will also be able to load road vehicles also , it will have conveyors either side linking to other structures. The second is the main loading bunker which has had some weathering and will have more detail added at a later date. Jez 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pix Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hi all ... a little more ballasting around the yard area, will go over with a airbrush to touch up areas with ore dust especially on the running line the 37 is on pulling the PTAs through the loader. Wil finish the main running line to the rear of the layout with standard ballast and weather with the airbrush. Jez 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melangoose Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 That’s looking really good, you must be very pleased with your progress. Keep up the good work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pix Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hi all A little more ballast added and some experimentation with the airbrush along with some static grass. Both new methods of weathering to me a bit of trial and error. Positioned the loading buildings and conveyors which will give the allusion of linking up to the back scene structures, hopefully the will help cover up the running lines that head of the scenic area.

Mr Pix Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hi all A little more progress, quite pleased with the look of the buildings. Another conveyor which passes over the access road for HGVs that will link up with the flood loader. Jez 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melangoose Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Your loading complex is some excellent modelling and makes a great scenic break. Well done you. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pix Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Here’s another view of how I’ve tried to make a scenic break and tried to blend the layout with the background matching it with the back scene. Next is to continue with a conveyor that will connect up to the flood loader. Jez 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pix Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Hi all. A bit more weathering on and around the yard area along with the running line that runs to the rear of the layout, it’s been trial and area especially the areas between the track which tends to be less oil stained. The third line from the rear is the Ore loading line that passes through the loader so has had Ore stains (light rust) added.

Mr Pix Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) Hi all. A couple of photos of the excellent Cavalex TEAs behind a petroleum class 47 arriving in the yard. Decided to go for 6 of the weathered versions, very pleased with the finished article’s and the flaking paint has been done very well.

Mr Pix Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Hi. A little progress on the bunker, have added the long conveyor that links the feeder structures to the flood loader. Will add supports to the conveyor it’s quite a span upto the loader. Jez 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pix Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Hi A pair of Metals 37s easing some PTAs through the loader as some empty MGRs pass by powered by a 37. Jez 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pix Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 4 hours ago, RobinofLoxley said: What is the loader constructed from? Hi …The loader’s construction is maid by using a wooden frame, then covered with thick card which gives strength to the structure and then ribbed card is used on the outside which I got from a local office supply store. I then use plastic strips on the edges and then use spray cans for the basic colour, then use the airbrush to finish off and weather the hole structure.

Mr Pix Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Hi .. Added some strengthening girders under the end of loading bunker and a support structure under the conveyor with a dusting of weathering. Jez 14 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pix Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hi all.. Not much progress at the moment. Here’s the latest addition to the fleet 47 363 Billingham Enterprise my favourite 47 from back in the 80s/90s…. So when Kernow announced it as limited edition I had to get one. It’s my first Bachmann 47 It looks fantastic and runs very smooth and fits nicely in my era and industrial theme. Jez 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pix Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Hi all A little more progress on the layout, the reception sidings filling up with wagons loaded with products from the works sitting along side the Ore loader which dispatches materials to other works. Next on the list will be a wagon weathering project I’ve got 16 Accurascale MGRs along with 15 PTA iron ore Tipplers to get on with along side the BDAs BBAs BLAs TEAs IWBs…ect.

Mr Pix Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hi all Not much progress on the layout, have been adding some rolling stock. Accurascale MGRs are a great model they run so smoothly and are great value for money, here’s a rake of 16 sat in the yard that have dropped of by a coal sector class 37 which is heading back to the depot. Starting on a new project that will sit above the present layout. ,it will be a TMD with a raised main line running to the rear which will complete a full oval of the shed. I want some where to stable my increasing number of locomotives I have, along with the pre order’s.…Accurascale 37s and 31s ..Heljan 47s and cavalex 56s and 60s. Have purchased the Key Publishing’s Depot kit of the building based on the design of Stratford and the Railway Laser Lines latest depot design kit.
