Have tried to sort picture the right way up so there will be no cricked necks from looking at the feed.

Damn.

It's something to do with auto orient function on iPhone.

Thanks to another feed on RMWeb ive been reading rain reports. They're quite fascinating to read. An amazing amount of work that goes into one. Have been reading one about container train damaging station canopy as a result of incorrect loading if train.

Here as a precursor to my halston junction pics from the weekend is one of my gwr well wagons. It is one of the wagons that I run as a mixed freight rake on Halston junction as part of the warley club and it has run with vehicles or no load before so I decided to give it a load. So I have loaded it up withdrawn timber (coffee shop stirrer sticks cut) and secured the load in place with yellow straps and chain.

 

The stack was made by cutting all the sticks to the length I wanted the sticking all the layer together with crafters (wife card craft) double sided 5mm tape. Once the stack was constructed it was then stuck to the wagon with all purpose bostik glue. Might give the chain a light coat of paint not sure yet.

 

Hope you like the results.

Have also finished the inspection pit off today and fitted the final plasticard around that section for the concrete base of the tmd shed just gotta get started on painting it now. That'll have to wait for some warmer weather to be Able to paint it successfully. But I have other jobs to do first.

Had some inspiration today from my good friend and weatherer Dan. So I decided to do a second well wagons with a load. This time I decided to go with a covered load. So cut the load out if high density foam then covered it in tin foil. It's now being painted tarpaulin blur (ice blue rail match) the pics below are up to painting stage. I'll post some more pics of the painting tomorrow.

I have recently been given an old steam shed which was scratchbuilt and I'm going to replace the roof and do some scratchbuilt upgrades to the building. I have created a separate feed for this project. Below is the link to the feed. Please click and go over to follow my new project through its progression.

My modelling time has been dedicated to my new shed project (see above post) so no real progress on porthcressa. Guns do some more to the shed tomorrow but I hope to make progress on the wiring and maybe some track weathering on Sonera tomorrow.

Hi PORTHCRESSA and Sonera followers. After much thought and deliberation I've designed the logo for the Sonera ave brewery. So here is (in place) the design for the sign of Shay and Sons Brewery. The shay logo is courtesy of a photo from my good friend Dan who the brewery is named after. He took a photo of one of his shays which I photoshopped to create the logo I wanted.

Coming along great Phill... :senile:

Thanks. When I've got some more money in the future I'm looking to do a very limited run special commission for myself of some brewery wagons with caboose ale on them.
