Chris-GNR Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Eyup PaulGreat to see you at Hull at the weekend & the layout looks really good. Nice to see the water wheel working. Here are a few photos I took. I still don't really know what I'm doing with the camera, depth of field is all out but they look ok, I think?Cheers mate.Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 20, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2014 Morning, not done a great lot of modelling in the last few weeks but I have had a bit of a play with a Bachmann Pipe wagon. Converted to an unfitted version with unpainted planks. I also fitted 'LMS' buffers, still need to do a bit of work on the axleboxes then a bit of weathering.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 20, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2014 very nice but it appears to be runnnig in the 6 foot way! It's on my test track, 00 behind it, it's on the EM and an extra rail in front for O (with the far EM rail)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 22, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 22, 2014 All finished and weathered. I've also been working on some NER hoppers but as they're not for Greyscroft they'll be on WF's Workbench soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted January 29, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2015 Those of you that were paying attention will remember that back in October I built this board behind the mine as replacement for one of the fiddleyard end boards and that it would be 'sceniced'. Well I've started tonight and the first job has been setting out the level crossing, this will be the access road to the mine. The gates are MSE whitemetal ones that I have had for many years that I knew would eventually get used! these are being modified to look a bit more North Eastern. Beside the gates there will be bicycle wicket gates, I'm building these from Ratio GWR station fencing which only needs a middle horizontal rail to make it North Eastern. I am using a drawing of the wicket in an NERA facsimile publication of NER Standards, full of useful drawings. The crossing box shown is only a place holder and there will be a small brick Central Division box there based on this one at Honey Pot Lane Crossing, Darlington, if that doesn't ooze character then nothing does!

Porcy Mane Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 this one at Honey Pot Lane Crossing, Darlington, Seen this? https://flic.kr/p/9BDsou P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted January 30, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2015 Seen this? https://flic.kr/p/9BDsou P That looks a lot later, the crossing must be closed, and not quite as picturesque... according to a comment on it the loco is a J21, looks more like a J77 to me.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted January 30, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2015 Tonight I've been working out the next part of the development of what has become known as Board 1A. The area behind the railway will have a farm on it, the basic structure has been taped together with masking tape to show where it will stand, it will eventually be covered with Slaters stone. I've also marked out the road, boundary wall and the yard but these aren't clear in the photo. When I build the house it will have to be separate (it should be attached to the right hand end of the building) and at an angle, something like where the 24" steel ruler is.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted March 13, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's been a while since any work has been done here but in that time I have realised that the farm was much too big for this corner, a smaller example has now been found about half the size of the first and construction is well under way, the house is in the centre, there will be another, slightly smaller building to the right.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted March 18, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2015 Originally the house was to be in the middle with lower farm buildings to either side, looking at the plan on the baseboard this looked wrong, even though it is based on a real building. The house is now to the right and the stable and cart house to the left, looks much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Ah, got to own up to this one, they're Wills... And why not Paul, if you can get a good looking component from the trade I'm all for using it, and they look good to me. Nice build altogether.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted March 19, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'd love to see you build a model of park house, the mine managers house at skelton park I would have loved to have based the mine on Park pit, There's a lovely view if it from where my dad did a big building job over the valley in Upleatham, but the buildings didn't seem to fit well in the available space. Real things don't often make for that convincing models, as they are - Its all down to how one sees things in different "scales" (for want of a better word!) From my eerie up on this hill I can see the other side of the valley from "high up" - when I'm over there on that side, it amazes me just how different buildings and their settings appear to be when one has a up close view . It does look good as originally intended but on the layout the right hand end seemed hidden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted March 19, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2015 A little bit done tonight, doors for the stable and carthouse made, all the lower doors still need ironwork fitting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrkirtley800 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Nice to see you have put the door bracing the right way up, Paul. But I would expect your dad would tell you off if you had got it wrong. Nice set of buildings though. Derek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the late 70s and early 80s my mate at school lived there,we used to have a great time exploring the buildings, at that time they were in a lot better condition than they are today. There was even a cast iron sand box on they old line out that still had sand in! Your building is looking great,are you doing a shaft or drift mine?
