RMweb Gold jamest Posted July 27, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi guys, Thanks for the bump and kind comments. Bratton Lane will be at the Minehead show this Saturday 1st August - so I have been busy adding some bits and bobs such as the odd person, yard lamps, ground frames, etc. I have taken some photos but not uploaded them to the computer yet.

RMweb Gold jamest Posted July 27, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2015 LOL! Perhaps I should have said 'various' people. See you Saturday, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 27, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2015 Looking forward to seeing you and the layout on Saturday. Didn't get much chance to chat at Barnstaple.... Also need to talk to you about next years show..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold jamest Posted July 27, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi Richard, Yes, hopefully we'll get more time to chat this Saturday. I was hoping to persuade my son to come too so I can wonder off for 5 minutes! Speaking to Rob on Peafore Yard made me realise all day on my own will not be ideal.

RMweb Gold jamest Posted July 27, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi all, Right - I had 5 minutes tonight to upload some pictures of my recent progress. First here are the aforementioned 'odd' couple grabbing a break: And I've also added some Knightwing point levers: Some clutter at the back of the factory (a skip is being filled and dirtied to also go here): And I've also acquired some scenecraft yard lamps - ready to plonk down I'm afraid, but they are very nice: I reckon I've got around 12 ish wagons to play with - as most will know I will need 8 at a time for my inglenook puzzle. Here is an iron ore wagon weathered, kadee'd with load: I've spent a lot of time getting the kadee's set right and the right running resistance on the wagons (sponge glued against the axles). But having twelve or so will mean I can discard any troublesome wagons on the day. I plan to take my green 33, blue 24, green 08, blue 35 and perhaps a blue 20 to the show - that is a mix of DC and DCC. I find the sound 25 a bit of a pain with the kadee shuffle so I might leave it at home! Here is my newly dirtied class 35 - I'd already airbrushed some acrylic sleeper grime, but I've now discovered weathering powders and had a go on this one after practicing on the wagons - all sealed with some humbrol matt varnish: Please come and say hello, and have a shunt, on Saturday if you are in the Minehead area.

RAY NORWOOD Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi James. It is looking fantastic. Sorry I did not speek to you on Saturday as I was very busy.

Rivercider Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hi James, it was good to meet up and have a chat at MInehead, I was very impressed with Bratton Lane, the photos look good but it was even better to see it for real. I enjoyed the whole show, it was a good day out. cheers Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jamest Posted August 3, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hi Kevin, Very nice too meet and chat with you too. It was a great show, with a nice friendly cross section of the great British public! I had a lot of good feedback on the layout. Hi Richard, Always good to chat, hope your stand went well. I had a bit of time to have a quick walk around, but no where near enough! As usual I remembered a spare everything, but left my camera at home! I did grab a couple of phone shots, but nothing special. I'll upload them when I can. Regards, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jamest Posted August 24, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi all, Thanks for the comments - not a lot of progress post show - but I plan to add little bits of details as I go. I bought some extra details at the show and on a trip to Exeter the other day..... So I have now added a few more 'ready to plonk' items - a pile of tyres and misc. boxes complete with cat! I've also been hooked on weathering powders - I have a factory weathered 08 and 31 and decided to dirty them a bit more. The 31 is a little more subtle and is better to the naked eye (or with a 'real' photographer taking the snaps!) - but I really like the effect you can get with powders. I cover the windows with humbrol maskoll first, so that I can give the loco a cover of aerosol humbrol acrylic varnish after. I have been using matt - but used satin for the 31. The powder is mostly 'black' with a lesser degree of 'dark earth' around the bottom of the body/under frame. I like the fact that the middle of the side panels look faded on the 08 after I remove the black powder: Regards, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jamest Posted November 8, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hi all, Blimey, its been a while since I posted on here, but I've been busy with life recently! I did get a chance to go to the Taunton show and I was tempted by a new sign for the layout. I also bought some etched tools, benches, step ladder from Severn models. I hope to add more clutter before its next outing. All the best, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
