Popular Post Doughnut Posted April 3, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2015 Easter weekend and my little pressy to myself. MRA tipplers....and the P-Way train is now getting serious!! Dave 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tase Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Very nice Dave. Those MRA's are some of the best wagons out there ATM. Do you have any auto-ballasters that you can add to the rake? Look forward to a video of the MRA's idc. Regards 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks Tase. W.r.t. the Autoballasters, no I don't have them. I was hoping they might do a NR yellow version, but looks like they might not now. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony566 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Many thanks Hal & Brian. Hope you enjoy the rest of the vids Brian.That Deltic with the full rake sounds very tasty Hal. Have a soft-spot for semaphores myself, but cant really justify one in this era. Been plodding on through the week with the Town-scene around Minsterley Staion Building. Not my favourite task, but has to be done. Just finished wiring the street lamps and building lights, so will test them out later. This is the 'city' side of the scenery, the other side will be a housing estate. If I had time I'd try and scratch build a supermarket....might get round to it at some point.

Thank you for the link Killer isn't it! 8) Joking aside, though, you would think somebody would have come up with a ready built one by now. That 4 lane shed that Bachmann did, a while back, is fairly large, so something about that size wouldn't be beyond reason. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony566 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 You are right Dave .... I would have thought Bachmann would have released somthing bigger may be even modular so you can scale it to your needs. I had a good look around at the York show today but most have been custom made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything out of the ordinary at the York show, new releases, interesting layouts etc? Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Additions to the P-way train...MRA's. Look great, but couplings are a bit naff. Still adds to the P-way train, no end. Squeeky wheels, tracked down to one of the Seacow wagons bringing up the rear. It was driving me nuts, so oiled all wheels after the vid. Wish I'd done it before.

freebs Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Phew! It's taken me THREE DAYS, but I've finally read the whole of this thread from start to finish (after following it from Glebe Road, which I'm ⅔ of the way through) I've got to say, what you've created here, is absolutely mind-blowing - not just the quality of the work, but the attention to detail is sublime. Many others have already said the same thing, but you really do have the eye for colour and texture. In many ways, modern image is easier to model, because you don't have to go far to see examples of what is there in the real world, to attempt to imitate. You have certainly mastered this, and the OHLE - oh my word, I just wouldn't know where to start, maybe I could make one, but a whole series to complete a round round, and of different types and combinations, well, my hat goes off to you! Superb work indeed. Consider me yet another of your disciples! Oh by the way, I just love your stone wall treatment - would you happen to remember the colours you used? I've been fairly happy with my stone colouring up until now, but I think you've absolutely nailed the Yorkshire look. Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Thankyou Lee for your very kind comments. I am pleased you like Minsterley. The paint used for the Yorkshire Millstone walls was, I think, an overall coat of Matt Humbrol Desert yellow No.93, with Matt Leather No. 63 and then some Matt leather darkened with a bit of matt black, both dry brushed onto it, in patches, leaving a little of the Desert yellow showing through. By the way, the NR building I think you did on Mr. T's Dover Priory, is a work of art, not to mention the Signal box. Having my Yorkshire walls approved by a fellow Yorkie, is high praise indeed!! Many thanks Dave Edited April 9, 2015 by Doughnut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebs Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Ah thanks for that. As it happens I've just been to the model shop and purchased those very same colours, before I'd even read your reply...I can see a repaint of my Goods shed coming on... And yes, thank you...those buildings are my work on DP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Finally got a Route Learning vid. of Minsterley done (Cab-ride). Opening scenes inspired by a well known Michael Caine film.

shanks522 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 WOW! What a fantastic video Dave, love the opening music, I was expecting a deltic to come roaring past! I know your attention to detail is amazing and the one part of the video I liked the most was the lighting inside the tunnel, absolutely brilliant!
