MarcD Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have built their engine shed and coaling stage - see my layout thread. they go together very well (I used the thick Rocket cyano). I have a few problems with the water tower base but I think it will be fine when I have filed the corners back to make it fit together. They look good. Just about to order 1/2 of their brick goods shed and one of their wood PWay huts. The latter will need some slight modification to hide a H&M point motor. And the former will make a good covered portal for the factory hiding a very small 7inch fiddle yard if all goes to plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just finish the rewire and the additing of the third baseboard. With one week to its first outing there are still some outstanding jobs: back sceen; ballast; yard crane; barrals and people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 We have just put the layout away after its first outing at the Barrow. Managaed to set fire to one of the H&M point motors, discovered that track cleaning rubbers don't clean as well as chemicals and sometimes you need to PVA the ballast twice or it falls off.

RMweb Premium Dava Posted October 31, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 31, 2012 What's the cabless blue saddle tank loco? Looks interesting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 What's the cabless blue saddle tank loco? Looks interesting! Its a Springside kit. I think is a Manning Wardell prototype. Its got a screw together chassis an a white-metal top so the only soldering is the pick up, motor and the DCC chip (not supplyed). It runs really well, it need some of the bolts holding the con-rods together trimming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Just got the DCC to work. I have chiped 2 locos NER K and the MW. Just finished a Roxey mouldings Crane tank and I'm most of the way through one of Jim McGowen's NER H2 0-6-0T. so when we go to workington in two weeks time we should have a few spare locos.

MarcD Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 As we have now been invited to Bristol O Gauge in January we have decided not to sell Ultramarine for the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 With the Bristol O gauge show coming up I'm just giving the layout an upgrade. I managed to fry the DCC controller at the start of the Maryport Show last year however those nice people at LENZ have managed to put the smoke back into the box and its working again. We have altered the low-relief buildings so they now are not so low-relief, I have got busy with the air brush and started weathering the factory end of the layout. on the other end I have got busy with the static grass applicator. Photos to follow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 We will be taking Ultramarine Works to the Keighley 7mm Festival in November for what might be its last outing. I have just taken delivery of a new set of baseboards for the next layout that will be making its first outing at this year's Workington Model Railway Show. Hopefully it will be a small colliery that will be initially NER and S&DJR as these are the two companies that I have the most stock for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Sunday was the last time Ultramarine Works attended a show we me at the helm. Running of the layout has now past to Damian in Crosshills. I hope he has as much fun running it as I have had of the last 6 years. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
