Wayne 37901 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just a quickie update on things. Work on the photo plank is progressing well and thanks to a rummage through some old fox transfers packs at Lord and Butler I've been able to source what I need for the next 37 which will pass through the works, but more on that soon. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturol Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Those black adders are staying very firmly in the locality of Rosamund street. Sorry. But the trestles are much more mobile and can travel short distances at no cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be in touch about the trestles. Cheers. PS: Parcels Point is coming along nicely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Good evening, Thought I'd post up a quick picture of the work on the photo plank. Still more to do but things are looking good so far. The plan is to wire the track for power so I can use it to test locos and I may install a signal as well. Cheers 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Good afternoon, Been a bit quiet on here but there has been some modelling going on. Not much to look at but here's the current state of play with the photo plank and the BDAs. The card in the centre of the wagon is a reminder of details for that particular wagon, a useful idea for modelling individual wagons as it avoids the need to constantly refer to the photos. Weathering is next for the BDAs and some basic detailing on the plank, I may add a fence along the back but will see.

Wayne 37901 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Back after visiting a visit to the Penarth show, not a bad little event and got talking some familiar faces. Didn't come away with anything but had a nice chat with a chap on our experiences of Kadee couplings. I should have an update during the week on the modelling side of things.

Wayne 37901 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) Good morning, Thought I would post up a quick picture of the work so far on weathering the BDA decks to gauge opinion on how they look. The wagon sitting on the cutting matt has had slightly more done to the bolsters. The weathering has been done using only three colours so far, but mixing them up on an old container lid has given subtle variations. The base coat was mixed up from four colours to give a grey shade that if applied with neat paint wouldn't have looked right at all. I know this because I tried that out on the wagon I was experimenting from. So what do people think so far? Any thoughts welcome. Cheers.

Wayne 37901 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Good afternoon, It's been quite some since I've posted in here, mainly because I've been busy building stock. A very kind donation from a fellow member on here means I can now set the layout up by itself rather than using the workmate as before. This also means I can now get the fiddle sorted properly. Pictures when I've got time to upload them. Cheers 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturol Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 good to see and hear your still active, watch out the Yule tide spends don't trip up progress. Got two weeks off coming up myself, and no funds. Call over for a catch up when your next passing Cogan, Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Two weeks off ....................... what's that when it's at home ? . Happy Birthday Wayne ! . Anyway, back to making stock boxes from foamboard and Ikea storage boxes. . Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks chaps, Paul Yes it's possible but I have most of what I need I think, will just have to buy some timber to build a fiddle yard. Thanks again for the trestle, I finally managed to pick up another yesterday so can now see how it will look set up. Brian Thanks very much, although there was a bit of a cake disaster so no no birthday cake for me. I'd be interested in how you do your stock boxes as I'm looking for something to store the kit built steel stock in. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Good evening, I've been a little quiet on here but I've still been beavering away, mostly on stock so that I actually have something to run. Should have an update soon, but in the meantime I'd like to thank all the followers for staying tuned in and bearing with me and also those that have offered tips, advice etc. In particular I must thank Mark Smith and Brian/Paul Rolley because without there help and encouragement I probably would have given up long ago. Happy New Year to everyone and happy modelling for 2015. All the best. Edited January 2, 2015 by Wayne 37901 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne 37901 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hello all, Meant to post something sooner but I've had lots on. I've been doing quite a few scenic experiments lately but I wasn't happy with how things looked, so I went through the scenic box and went back to some turf and lichen. Although lichen seems to have gone out of style these days I think it's quite good for adding heavy undergrowth. Paul - thanks again for the invite, we had a good time. I will post up some pics soon, but I need to find a way to upload them at the library. Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
