I´m gonna build a small micro with a simple railplan and a station at the end of the line with some goods arrangement. The goods arrangement is based with 2 tracks and the platform 1 track for the Class 153, The layout becomes 80cm x 20cm . it is a point to pont thing and a ´blackbox´ with a traverser behind it.

AlexClass4F Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Introduction 3 Sometimes it is necessary to come to a definitive name after a number of considerations, you start looking for what suits you best. I still remember that I once wanted to build Moorswater Cement in scale 00, but that due to circumstances and the feeling that it was rather difficult, it did not work. That is why I am going to make another attempt to build after a long time. I´m gonna make a small version if it with an own input of it.

RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted September 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2020 Alex a nice simple plan layout with plenty going on. Look forward to seeing your next instalment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexClass4F Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 First i started with the plan of the halt, with nature, bushes and trees around , i lay my first track , and a second class 66 has arrived, the blue one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexClass4F Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Starting After the track has been placed on it and checked for irregularities, the next step comes. Applying a bevel to the railway verge, I do this with a putty knife that has been pre-moistened with water. The sloping side, which is malleable wood from a tube from the DIY store, is first applied as a line against the side of the 'railway berm'. Then you will make an oblique edge with the putty knife at an angle of 45 degrees, you do this by making a smearing movement with the putty knife, make sure that the stripe you took out of the tube before it touches the side so that the 1 whole is going to be . When that's done, fill the top with what's left of the bevel and smooth it with the putty knife flush with the side the track is on. Finally, let it dry for a while. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexClass4F Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) When you work the bevels with brown paint, you can also use the paint as a kind of glue, which ensures that the first impetus to the landscaping provides the basis.The first steps towards landscaping have been made, this will be further corrected later. Later in the day the ballast will come between the track and be thinned in with water and wood glue,after you first sprayed with a fine mist with a plant sprayer. The railway verge will be supplemented with grass pollen and some wild plants, here and there some shrubs.

AlexClass4F Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 The first vegetation has been applied, after which we will start with the roadbed of the track, this will take some time to dry. Once that is done, the environment will be addressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexClass4F Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 I have replaced the shrubs with lower ones so you get a better view of the whole. You see a better result and it comes across more naturally. I have some questions to yours . What does the initials E N and GW, means on goodswagons ? Could you use a brake with E N on it with a locomtive from British Railways or must it be the same ? Now i have 2 pannier steam locos , one the preserverd ncb 7754 wich i think it´s a particular locomotive for industy and British railways 8767, can i used bith in the same era or will be as a museumlocomotive deployed ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hi Alex. GW is great western as in great western railway, no sure about EN but NE is north eastern as in North Eastern Railway. I hope that helps a bit. Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you use a brake with E N on it with a locomtive from British Railways or must it be the same ? Hi Alex. NE could mean North Eastern Railway (NER), which according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Eastern_Railway_(United_Kingdom) was later grouped into the London North Eastern Railway (LNER). Whether NE marked wagons would have made it into BR times I don't know, and if they did I don't know how common it would have been to have a GW wagon or BR loco with an NE brake van.
