Andrew P Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 A bit of weathering always helps no matter how good the model is, unless you want it to spend it's life in a display cabinet and never turn a wheel in anger, looks good, Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY NORWOOD Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Good to see the M7 running on Tawbridge last night. I will take some more photos next time the M7 is running on Tawbridge or Yard Shunter. Hi Richard Thank you for your comment. I will be looking forword in seeing the photos. Just discovered this layout, what can i say but truely FANTASTIC well done, a brilliant bit of much needed inspiration Hi NunneyCastle5029 Glade you found my thread and you are finding it inspirational. HI Ray Must say the M7 looks stunning mate and looks a hell of a lot better than the RTR one!. Looks very good now you have given it a light weathering. All the best Darren Hi Darren Thank you for your comments. Hope you are getting on with your kit built loco. Hi Ray, Lovely scenes of the layout....excellent work. Dave Hi Dave Thank you for your comment Dave. A bit of weathering always helps no matter how good the model is, unless you want it to spend it's life in a display cabinet and never turn a wheel in anger, looks good, Andy. Hi Andy Glade you like the weathering on my M7. The M7 is built to be worked I dont think they should be put in a box to be shown on a shelf.

georgeT Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hello Ray, lt was good to meet you and Mudmagnet on sunday at Warley, l have just looked at your M7, what a cracking job you have made, the weathering is just right, too many people ruin the look by going over the top with the weathering, saying well they were all filthy in the late 60s, how wrong they are, but you seem have got it just right, myself and some friends used to go to Waterloo most saturdays as a 12 year old in the early 60s, armed with cheese and onion sarnies and my Ian Allen spotters book, l rembember spotting many southern types including the M7 on various duties and most of them were fairly clean, the real dirty ones were to me the Q1s and some of the standards, l think they used to look after the old ladys of southern steam. Love the layout too, (really would love to build my track in 7mm?) keep the pictures coming............... George. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I to went to Waterloo trainspotting in the late 1950 to early 60s, also went to Nine Elms, Stewarts Lane, Oldoak Common, but name a few. Feltham loads of times as Feltham was my local shed. When I left school I worked at Feltham Shed as a cleaner and worked my way to a fireman till the end of steam. You will have to have a go at building your own track, once you get the hang of it you wont turn back, practice makes perfect. Hope to see you again some time. Happy modelling.

Andrew P Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi Ray, dont like to throw a spanner in your wonderfull works, but how about a new name for your Yard Shunter, especially now that it goes out on the road, like maybe Yardley on Severn, or Yardley Sidings? just a silly thought. You can give me a good kicking next time we meet if you like, hahah Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY NORWOOD Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Hi Ray, dont like to throw a spanner in your wonderfull works, but how about a new name for your Yard Shunter, especially now that it goes out on the road, like maybe Yardley on Severn, or Yardley Sidings? just a silly thought. You can give me a good kicking next time we meet if you like, hahah Andy. Hi Andy I think I will give you a kicking next time I see you. hahaha Joking aside, I thought Yard Shunter was something diffrent than a place name, as it is all about shunting in a goods yard.

Andrew P Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Hi Ray, no in all seriousness the name is a great one and it does what it says on the facia. I do like your little people, where are they from, I don;t know if I would have the patience or eye sight to hand paint them, but they have really interesting poses. The yard is looking good and busy, please keep the pics coming, See you again soon Ray, All the best Andy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted December 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2012 Looks much improved with the figures Ray. Certainly bring the yard to life! How did you get on with the painting? Have you any figures left for the timber yard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Some very nice touches in YARD SHUNTER, Ray. I'll be paying some very close attention to your detail for some hints and tips. I arrived at a very similar layout aimed at shunting and had thought how about having the head shunt on display instead of having the loco disapearing into the fiddle yard all the time. I too was going to complicate shunting by having no run-a-round loop but others on here suggested I would regret it if I did, so I amended my track plan accorfingly.. It's not yet finalised but it is 0 gauge in 11ft and has had the paper templates laid out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used C&L templates and glued them down on the board and layed the track on that. RAY70B Edited December 3, 2012 by RAY NORWOOD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
