ess1uk Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Lucky, i've had this damn cold for over a month now, just won't shift! sorry to hear that. hope you get over it soon. well today it seems we have had every wagon/loco combination you could make from all the stock i own. at least it kept us amused for a few hours. now best go and put the room back in some order and put some wagons away then when Ruby finally goes to bed i can start a kit 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 If you've had all of your stock running today, I'd call that productive. Duncan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 looks like you had fun? yeah but there is only so much fun to be had with a small oval of track and limited shunting, especially when ive got more wagons than track to put them on at present. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shed Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Looking good. Agree the VBA still looks a little shiny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 When I get back from my jaunt to the New Forest and Exmouth I will try and make it a bit duller. Tips for achieving the desired look appreciated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Back from holiday. I got a Bachmann VAA wagon at the New Forest show last Sunday morning. Good to meet the Leaford crew. A week's worth of rmweb to catch up and unpack the car before looking at weathering a couple of wagons to wind down after the drive home from Exmouth this afternoon.

Shed Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 how are the wagons coming along? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Short answer, they're not. I've been on holiday and then working away again. I did have a quick 5 minutes on one last night and will try again over the weekend. Thanks for the interest. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) sat in the hotel tonight sketching plans to extend the sidings into something i can use to shunt and not just a photo board see here wish i'd thought about it better to begin with i realy need either some paper templates or software but im making do with rough sketches until i get home again and try it with track for real plenty of flexi track and points to play with Edited June 11, 2013 by ess1uk 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I have tried designing on paper/software, however there isn't anything as good as playing with real track, then doing a bit of shunting, working out what else you need. I've lost track of how many times Beresford Junction has changed! Surely you can take it in the boot of your car and take into the hotel. You might get some strange looks.
