binesrail Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Looking good there Chris. The 08 needs a bit of weathering, when you get chance as the roof looks particularliy clean! Hi Richard, YES defonatly!!! to be honest i hate these nice clean locos. Maby we could have a weathering session at the club or somthing sometime. Make the 08 and 24 look like proper work horses!

binesrail Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hello all, Been busy over the last few days with the layout and it now starting to look quite nice. Finaly got the enbankment for the road built and the bridge and retaining walls glued to the layout. I just need to print off some front on views of houses to glue to the backscene to help give some depth to the layout and will give a greater look to the whole North Devonie feel. The biggest thing by far is the grass which has been done using a Grass Master kindly Darren01 let me use his, and im very greatfull because i would have had to spent over £100 to get one, but the results are great! Some more weathering was also done and talkon powder sprinkled on and spread with a make-up brush to give a look of spilled china clay, which there was alot of here in North Devon. The last thing is i have built a plate layers hut whitch is right next to the bridge so now the perment way gang have a place to put there tools at the end of the day. B) Take a look at the photos and tell me what you think. Speak soons and happy modelling. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binesrail Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi all, Todays update, ive finnished the plate layers hut area by adding a few small details such as some old sleepers, tools a wheel barrow and some coal (the coal isnt in the photo thow as i hadnt yet put it in the wheel barrow when i took the photos) For most of the day thow ive just been playing around with the layout, seeing how meny wagons and locos i can use at once. Ive mannaged to run the layout with three locos, eleven wagons and two break vans! but its very tricky to get every thing to fit. Taken some photographs also whilst i was playing with it, hope fully they will give you a better idea of how good the grass looks and other details. Speak soon and happy modelling.

binesrail Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hello all, Been busy weathering locos that week, and dont worry they arnt as bad as you might think! The first two i did were my class 58's which im quite happy with but just need some finnishing touches. The layout has seen somthing very odd happen to it, in the form of an BR 2-6-0 Crab! This has also been under my weathering brushes and just needs finnishing touches like coal and water spills. As most of you know im not a very big LMS/LNER man frankly anything outside of GWR teritory is usless in my mind but i do like the Crab for some reason it feels very S&Dish. I also must get out and take some photographs of building in and around my town to use for the background, to give the layout more depth and north devon feel. Photos below are of the newly weathed Crab on the layout. Hope you like, Speak soons and happy modelling. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binesrail Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here is another photo, ive been playing with adding steam to the photo, im not sure it looks that real. Does anyone know a better way of making it look real? Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not sure how I have missed this one but this is a neat little layout, unusual and well executed - and I might just pinch it and extend it a little for something I have in mind - although I'm not so sure where I'd fit a harbour line in given that my timeline is more 1980's Regarding photoshopping smoke, no idea sorry Try PMing Chris Nevard, I seem to recall he does a lot of that sort of thing? Jim S-W also does smoke but more to diesels on some of his photos but then again I'm sure the techniques are similar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_daddy_ray Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Nice layout, you can definitely tell a lot of work has gone in to it, WELL DONE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted January 17, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2011 Coming on well there Chris! Does make a difference having the grass and a few details added. Nice weathering on the loco, probably and bit too large to run on the layout though! (you will need to go DCC and run on the club layout!)

Yer its nice small shunting layout, you can easily spend two to three hours shunting without doing the same thing twice. Im interested to see how adapt the track plan to suit your layout, look forward to it. I think for smoke effects i will probibly have to ask Chris Nevard as he is probibly the most experienced person to ask. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hi Richard, Its coming together, just need to work on the background a little and make the grass longer in places. I will get round to DCCing my locos at some point, it would be a shame to help build the club layout and then not be able to run my stock on it.

binesrail Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi all, Been running today with my BR blue stock and a load of china clay wagons. Ive also put the wires in the fencing around the bridge, i would say to anybody elce that has to do this that you should thread the wire through the posts befor you stick it down. As i spent about an hour trying to thread six pices of wire through about four posts! (my mistake ) Also hope fully at the club tonight Mudmagnet will be showing me how to weather my class 24 and maby my 08, so they will hope fully fit in better on the layout and not look so factory fresh! Here are some photos for you all. Speak soons and happy modelling. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

artizen Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I like this layout - BUT - in post 56 you show a closeup of the bridge at the end of the layout and the walls under the bridge are sideways? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliment and yes your right they are side ways, i only had enough paper to finnish the bridge if i put it on side ways and being the determined thing i am i thought it better to do that rather than wait a day, kinda regret it now. hmmmm Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binesrail Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi all, Richard has shown me how to weather my diesel locos last Tuesday and so ive been busy getting on with them! He showed me the ways to weather my locos on one half of my class 24 and then said somthing along the lines of "right here you go!". So i went out the next day and bought some paints from the local Warhammer shop and got on with finnishing the class 24 and 08 shunter. Im prity happy with what ive done, what do you all think?
