jcredfer Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi, Just read through from the beginning ... noted ... MoD trains to and from Salisbury Plain/Marchwood with my vans. Is the other end intended to be Luggershall ..... it is a bit big ...... I was past there a couple of weeks back They have a Race-track shape park, presumably built to deal with the number of vehicles needed to transfer loads. [to the South on Google Maps] Might be fun to include ..... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Spot on with the size, it has all sorts of, additional, related scenery surrounding it too. There is almost, enough there for a roundy-roundy - simply a vast undertaking ........... ......................................... however??????? ............ ................ You might be able to include the 2 sets of sidings at the North East corner, backed by a low relief version of the sheds North of them. ...... They start under a road-over bridge, which gives you a small "Google" look into them using the little yellow papatrooper ..... The line round to the other sheds could be a headshunt for the sidings with a photo at the end, leading off round the corner ....... It would be a wonderful excuse for all sorts of wagons and cargo .......... [looks innocently at the sky ............. ] Just leg-pulling really - but it might make an interesting project if someone with vast amounts of sufficient space wanted to have a go. It would take up something like a Bungalow Loft space 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 I would certainly have enough siding space for all my wagons, might even be able to fit in a few more! I'm just going to imagine trains run to Ludgershall and Warminster. Tidworth has already been reinstated! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 That sounds like a very sensible idea .... I'm just going to imagine trains run to Ludgershall and Warminster. If you are thinking in the Warminster direction, Westbury also comes to mind. If you google map it there is a triangle to the West of the station, where large military trains used to spend most of the night shunting, when the Iraq buzz was up ................. How do I know? - We lived less than a football pitch from the tracks ..... ............... and they were not very quiet about it ......... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Sidings at Warminster look much more doable in the space I have, but unsure what would have gone in or out of there? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi ess, You could take a nozzle of another can and replace the one which is blocked ...... not forgetting to clean it and return it when you have done ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 You could push the uncovered Stem down ono a saucer, to get the paint out and use a brush to apply it ............. you can't get too much paint out, as the can is upside down ...... come on ..... guaranteed entry to the Clumsy Club into the bargain ........... particularly if you turn the saucer upside down, so the can is upright again .....

7APT7 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Haha... Hi ya bud Those PWA look nice and the weathering comes out good to... I will have to give it ago using the can stated and have a play on weathering some... How far away from the wagon do you hold the can...and is it best on a turn table or hand held, but then a turn table would do all the way round or is that not a good thing to do the ends... Help and advice... bud Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
