NSE DAZ Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Not keen on 3rd rail EMUs but I must say it is a cracking model and suits the NSE livery well well!! Cheers daryl, I would say this but I think it suites this livery a little better than the blue and grey Chris Green would be proud of you Daz. I am looking forward to seeing this one progress Paul R Cheers Paul, I hope that I am making Chris proud All the best Darren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSE DAZ Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi all, Time is moving on swiftly but progress not still not all is lost I have started work on the new station canopy, transforming a modern day structure to a early 90's one, it is surprising what a bit of NSE red and grey branding can do The canopy work is far from complete as I need to add the signage ect.. but thought I would share my little progress with you all. The kit all sprayed in the vibrant red and grey Construction begins A few hours later I have placed the semi finished article on the unfinished platform :roll: All is needed now is the track to be fully laid so the new addition tome fleet the superb EBP in NSE livery can grace the station Now I must get back to finishing the track work and leave the scenics to the track work is complete All the best Darren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Matt, Many thanks, this is actually a Faller HO scale ICE platform kit, A bit modern for me but as I have mentioned after a generous coat of NSE red its fits in well at Shaftesbury All the best Darren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSE DAZ Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi all, Not much progress same old hurdle work!!!!! but just been down to the den and knocked up a rail built buffer stop, I am not over happy with what is on the market and I can create this for around £1.50 so a real credit cruncher I will be needing five of theses but before I knock up the rest I thought I would see what you think? OK they are not perfect but neither am I . I will be adding the double red light behind them all as well, once the ballast and weeds ect are in place I think it will transform the look of them again I know I should not be doing scenic work just yet but I could not resist I will have the whole day in the den tomorrow so might make some progress Cheers Darren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSE DAZ Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi all, Still not much of an update but I have a new addition to the fleet, the fantastic 4 VEP This is a stunning unit I think it will look better after a weathering session but she blends in well with my other EMU's And a shot of the platform in situ With all this slam door action at Shaftesbury it has given me a real boost to crack on More soon all the best Daren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSE DAZ Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi all, The last few weeks Shaftesbury has come to a stand still, I have lost all my enthusiasm with this build after Shaftesbury MK1 was dismantled I am really struggling to move on Now after a couple of weeks I have decided to take the plunge and have a dabble in the world of 0 gauge this will be a refreshing start for me and I must admitt really looking forward to it This decision was made and I have put out a few feelers on the whole 0 gauge cost's and availability of RTR stock, I was surprised what was on the market admittedly 80% is in kit form but nevertheless I was very impressed with the modern image range that's about I have been in deep talks with a couple of mates who will at times assist me as usual with all the technical jobs I will let you all in on my first loco which is being custom built in the form of a class 50 50 033 Glorious which you guess will be in NSE livery with working lights sound and a smoke generator to release all the fantastic clagg into the atmosphere Sorry to mess you guy's around I will start a new thread soon All the best Darren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vac_basher Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Shame, I really liked the way this was coming along. I don't know if it was based on an actual location, but I thought it had that really typically charecteristic feel of the Southern Region. I look forward to seeing the big 50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to more updates and especially the Class 50! Hi Ian, The OO collection is now split into a storage pile and sell pile. I can confirm that today I paid the deposit on 50 033 Glorious which will include the following spec: Full revised NSE Livery, DCC Sound ESU 5XL, 2 motors to shift the beast, Driver/buffer-beam detail fitted, and the Peter Clark Smoke and lighting kit that will have a custom built exhaust system so the clagg can escape from the four outlets on the 50 All the best Darren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
