John I'd be interested to hear what you think of the retooled 40. I've just taken deliver of a Dapol Whizzo... (I know, a bit off region for me, but there you go) and it's be interesting to hear a P4 modeller's view of this one. Cheers.... Jon. P.S. It does look very "at home" on you superb layout.

johndon Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Jon, Apologies, just noticed your question about the 40 - by now you'll know of the well documented issues with it some of which I had even with amended pickups following the wheel swap. Having said that, after a couple of tweaks, it has run perfectly on the rolling road at a snails pace for over half an hour. It still needs some work on the pony trucks which are prone to derailment every now and again so I think I'll just start by adding some additional weight and take it from there... Made a start weathering one of the factory buildings at the back of the layout: John And more filth: John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portchullin Tatty Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Cracking job. As you know, I get to look at this type of building for a living and I can say that you are getting the feel for it very well. A bit more grot at ground level and on the brickwork perhaps?

Steve-e Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 John I like these photos remind me of two I took at Doncaster works in 1985 http://www.flickr.com/photos/northbriton/10185158516/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/89885635@N05/10185003814/ The grass tones are very similar.

johndon Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 After what seems like months, I've been working on the buildings on the layout again. First up though, a new loco has arrived, a Class 24 - eventually this will be used on the South Pelaw layout so needs converting and detailing but I bought it as it already had the Ultrascale wheels fitted which is a bit of a bonus as their waiting list is up to 6 months at the moment!! Next up, the small shelter has been fitted permanently, I've added some rudimentary details to the walls as they are visible through the window when the light is right: Finally, I've started the weathering and detailing of the centre building across the rear of the layout: John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a follower of anything ' blue ' - I especially like your track as I am contemplating using C+L myself and will wait till my visit to Warley this year before deciding. Bill.
