Have received some pictures yesterday from my very good mate and painter/weatherer Dan. I asked him to repaint me a class158 in fgw colours. As dynamic lines transfers are not available for s 158 I've used hst power car transfers from precision decals to brand the train. The effect looks particularly good I think. He has also installed a sound chip and speaker for me as wel.

Once I get chance I'll post a video of the 158 on porthcressa running. At some point in gonna get the train tech internal lighting with door lights activated by the motion and stop of the train. Looking forward to giving it a go.

Here's a few pics of the big house back in place although I have more work to do to get it to fit in the area properly and put a few paths in etc.

Hi Phil,

Just watched the videos, layouts coming along nicely. It looks a nice place to live! I like the depot too. It will be nice to see the 158 running round.

It getting there slowly

 

I'm really looking forward to getting the 158 on the layout. Can go with my 150 which I've got to put people in and chip soon.

Here are some pics a friend of mine sent me. Not my loco it's one of his repaint but I thought it was so good I asked him if I could post it and he agreed. This is his Dcr 56.

 

This repaint was done by my good friend done by Dan of Dan's dirty diesels repainted and weathering. His details and links are at the bottom of my signature.

Realy stands out well Phill!! :senile:

Are you haven one done??

May do in the future. I'm slowing down how many logos I get. It would be nice just not yet. I've gotta dedicate more railway resources towards progress on the layout before I can justify more locos

You mean more buildings and scenery?? :paint:

A few more buildings. But scenery yes. I have back scene pictures for the station side I need to get printed on uv resistant vinyl to put up. Then there's load of little things i want to concentrate on. Inexpensive in themselves but all add up. I want to do road signs, station signs, work out how to achieve realistic looking speed bumps, railway signs, rail side detritus, main station building for porthcressa, on in vids a pics staying but that's really an ancillary building. Main building still yet to come. Many more people, quite a few for inside of trains especially my new 150, people doing jobs around the station, village and yard areas, more trees on the sonera park side. Maybe even in the future signalling on the layout. There are other things but at the moment thats all I can quickly think of.

Have started work creating the final finish of the concrete base under the sonera shed. Here the first bit can be seen painted. I have to lift the second road as the inspection pit has got badly out of gauge. Gonna fill it in and just make it s normal track
