Thanks Bob, yes I like the RR livery on the 37's as well Just spent half hour catching up on the layout Jintyman, looking very nice indeed, I like the trackplan explanation on page 15. Graham. Thanks Graham, Yes even I can find the trackplan a bit confusing sometimes!!!!! I just need another rake of 5 Mk1's and a 150/ 158, and I will then start to put an operating sequence together, as I'll have the haulage to make it quite interesting, as well as the freight movements too. Some great pics there Jinty, nice 31 to, I defo need to get a green one!! Keep up the good work.

David Todd Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks guys, I just wish I could get my SLR down that low, I'd get better pictures!!! Anyway, eventually, I've received my ESU lokpilots, so I can continue with the workbench thread on the DCC lighting kit on the 37 Jinty ;-) I did read,about a year ago,another thread on another forum........... The member went to a one day course,on model railway photography, it was suggested,you can capture,better pic's with a compact camera,"on the layout". I have a camtruck, bit expensive for some people's budget,but, I also have a laptop by the layout,with a couple of Logitec webcam's ,plugged in. The software disc, allow's you to make movie's and take picture's and upload to you tube,if you have an account. A photo taken by the camtruck...........also takes video's....... A photo, taken by the Logitec webcam.. Compact camera (Olympus). Never tried my mobile phone ...........yet.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks David, Very interesting, I fancied a small video camera mounted on a well wagon. My son has one of these bridge cameras, which is considerably smaller than my Nikon. I might have a go at that. Jinty ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jintyman Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 As discussed earlier in the thread, I acquired 2 Bachmann class 47 body shells, both 47835 "Windsor Castle". I originally only got one, but when I saw 835, I decided I wanted that one too, so purchased another. My original intention was for a Departmental grey version, but the only one (as I thought at the time) with No2 end flush to match the body I'd got, was 333, but that was another named one. Someone kindly pointed out that 331 had a flush No2 although it attained its 'Dutch' stripe very shortly after being painted grey!!!! So it was decided that 47331 it was, in 'Dutch' livery, and a suitable chassis was acquired (with another spare body!!!). This is the body as it was................ This morning was spent rubbing down and cleaning the body up, so that there was no residue of what was underneath showing through the final paint finish...... Then making up the yellow ends, as I might just cheat and leave them as they are!!!!! 3 thin coats of primer, rubbed down with 1000 wet and dry between coats, left to dry for an hour (Halfords aerosol), then on with the Railmatch Departmental Grey (228), let down with cellulose thinners, probably about 4 good coats all over!!!!! I'll leave it for a couple of days now, drying through, then I'll be attacking it with the yellow for the band on the side. I've got Data panels and numbering for it, as well as the cast double arrows, but it's order time from Fox for the Immingham 'Star & Scroll' motif.

hybridangel77 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 You certainly have a good eye for a bargain Jinty....the 47 looks to be progressing well too, i will keep an eye on the 47 progress. Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I cocked up, I should of put the progress on the 47 on my workbench thread!!!!!! I'll see if I can copy it over................. With me progressing with 47331, that obviously means 37431 is finished!!!!! Yes it is, I've managed to hide all the wires behind the cab doors, I painted the inside of the cab door windows black, and then ran the wires behind them. I've fitted ploughs, and some pipework to the front, including a flexible ETH cable that will move if the Kadee touches it. It's had a pretty dirty weathering, I've got a couple of pictures of it just about like this, and all the pictures I have of it, the bottom edge was always rust stained!!!! All that 'WAS' left to do is to just dim the lights a little when I set it up with the SPROG, but I've just noticed that one of the side windows has decided to go AWOL!!!!!!!! God knows where that has gone!!! I'll try and move the 47 post above to my WB thread!!!! JInty ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I seem to be having trouble taking pictures tonight!!!!!!!! Those last 2 pictures are quite poor, only noticed once I posted them on here. So I went out and re-took them. And a couple more......... And yes I noticed that the wheel was off!!!!!

Jaz Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 wheres the picture ....you just put up on the how realistic is your picture??? I was going to comment on it. I am NOT usually a big fan of black and white pictures trying to look like times gone by, unless I see the picture to the side, as I like colour so much. In fact I often see old black and white pictures, and my thought is....hmmm what did it look like in colour. BUT because you have the lights on the loco, and therefore it looks like the last of the light before night hits....I think it really work well, because it could be a modern day image and the colour would be right is it was late dusk. Plus the bits behind all work well for the purpose as well. Clever touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
