Baggies1961 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Been away for a few days on my return the two Kernow CDA’s have arrived. These will be part of the new WRD I intend to build in the future. Any suggestions on what to weather them with for the china clay look? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Got the layout downstairs this weekend as some work to do before the Yorkshire Wolds Railway model railway show in March. I have the outer frame of the layout to clad in black card and stick the building's down and countless other jobs to do on it. Also been weathering the NR class 31 now numbered 31465. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Fascia card on now, very small area ballasted at the end of track two, yet to be weathered. Two exit point cut outs need some more taking off as the teddy bear or the VGA,s, cant come through it 🤦♂️ Also must buy a black sheet to hide the legs and another cradle for the second controller. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Good news from Steve at Railtec teddy bear transfers are on the way once they have arrived, I can weather it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 D9555 made dirty, Im sure its owners would be suitable horrified it is this dirty in preservation! Must add the head codes, would like to put 0000 both ends but not enough are included in the box, so will have to compromise a tad. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Gristwood Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Hi, I don't know if it makes any difference to the number of 0's (zeros) you have, but the second one was a letter O rather than the number if I remember correctly? Apologies if that ended up sounding like a Two Ronnies sketch..!!! 🙂 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Headcodes done on the class 14, fiddly when chunky dysfunctional fingers do them. Having brought two wagons in for loading the teady bear moves into the siding so the gates can be closed. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Been adding scenic bits to the layout in the form of signs etc. Next area to address is the buffer stops end. Also 31465 has had its two top central footsteps removed as per the prototype. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyeti Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Lovely job on the detailing. Small things like signs really give you a sense of time and place - the site safety and assembly point tell me this is something within my lifetime 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
