south_tyne Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Really enjoyed seeing the layout at Perth Green show over the weekend. Thanks for bringing it up to the North East! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggs Eye Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I wish I could have spent more time watching the trains and enjoying the detail on this layout at Perth Green, but I was operating my own. The thought and skill that has gone into the build of Troutons are very impressive; even if there hadn't been trains to watch it is an absorbing layout. As a fan of single car DMUs, my favourite moment was seeing a class 153 trundle along the main line. Its inclusion in the stock list just made the layout more rounded and complete. Great work, I wish you well on the replacement. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Many thanks for your positive comments and we enjoyed the weekend as well. It’s shows the breadth of the hobby, one weekend in Glasgow with all the commercial aspects that such a show brings and then a club so obviously rooted in its community with the exhibition showing what can be achieved. At the centre it had a library, crèche, sports facility, boxing, support agencies, cafe, all being used. The Perth Green clubrooms well set out and with excellent facilities to support members in their hobby. Thank you to the Perth Green for asking the team to exhibit. We enjoyed the weekend. Next show Spalding November 2019 and Milton Keynes Feb 2020. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Turning a Falcon into a scrap metal version. The wagon comes with a load of ballast added. The load is a layer of glued ballast with layers of corrugated cardboard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Started weathering up the IOA ballast wagons. Painting in the yellow discs on the axle covers makes big difference. Used dust tone for bogies over the normal frame dirt and tried to represent a load of ballast that has been let in the wagon before emptying With dust and light rust colours. wagons seem to have a mass of rusty lines on outside caused by the grabs unloading the ballast. Tried paint but too thick even with a thin brush so looking to use rust coloured very fine permanent marker as a trial Edited December 30, 2019 by enginelane Additional text added Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
