Arnington Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hi Arnie, glad you like 'em. Just found this photo-a couple of gronks one is 08509 'Wath ETD' , I've been trying to fathom out what the other is something mill,hill or hall? Anyway I don't have any 37 namer shots, I can't actually remember seeing any but I didn't get up there very often. There were some 37s around in sector liveries thay were probably visitors and didn't stop long enough to be attacked by the Tinsley painter boys . And just look at the sad sight of all those dead locos that 31 on the left looks as though it's been on fire! I've just received my 'Royal Signals' so it looks like some detailing is in order. Happy Peak-ing Phil. Hi Phil, Cheers for the latest pic, 08509 looks smart maybe another to add to the list Yeah Tinsley did look like a loco graveyard alot of the time! Enjoy the detailing up of Royal Signals. Cheers Arnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hi Arnie, glad you like the pic, D55 is one down the list, I'm in the middle of chopping the detail (if thats what you want to call it!) off the buffer beams of my Railroad Cl.40 chassis. This is a replacement unit for my D231 'Sylvania' she's had a paint patch and revarnish and body wise is looking good, just the chassis to tart up then off to the muck shop . Must go got some drilling to do . Cheers Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium mirreles31 Posted March 23, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi arnie, here's a pic to take you back (and me! ) to a time when 'Peaks' were even more gorgeous . Am not knocking their later incarnations but this is a loco I fell for a long time ago and as far as I remember she was very much the dirtiest loco in the world B)(1976) . She sits here in original condition, bar the white walled tyres! (doner chassis) ready for the filth shop, how long can I hold off?!!!! . The bufferbeam detail is very different as they went thro' many changes over the years, my mix here is Hornby 31 & Heljan whatever . The air pipes still had chains on! keeping them in check. Anyway, enjoy! . Cheers Phil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Arnie Hi Arnie, 'Ingleborough' was a loco that spent most of its time working from Toton up the Midland Line down to the sidings where I used to spot a bit , I say a bit cos I used to watch trains rather than writing it all down, but wish I had now!!!! . However as my memory serves D7 was one of the last green 'Babes' only did that cos they turn me on HaHa . Peaks 4 eva Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really effective especially the oil stain effect. Guy Hi Guy, Thanks for the comment, I sprayed on a thinned mixture of railmatch frame dirt and sleeper grime over the ballast and then some railmatch weathered black and some MIG blacksmoke weathering powder for some shading and oil patches. It was my first time doing any track and ballast weathering but it seems to have come out ok. Cheers Arnie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnington Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Hi there,Got hold of one of Bachmann's single road engine shed's. They are rather tasty I have plonked it down on the other side of the layout that will eventually become a yard and small maintrence area. I have attached some pics of the shed and other bits.CheersArnie Edited February 17, 2013 by Arnington 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
