Alcanman Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Neil, the building is a standard Hornby R9733 Works Office which comes pre-painted. However, the bricks and mortar are rather bright so I toned them down with a grey wash to dull the mortar and weathered the bricks with Tamiya weathering powders.

Alcanman Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 After the gloomy weather last week, this week's sunshine has provided the opportunity to take some pics of the layout. I do prefer taking pics in natural light. Here we have 6S45/9.32 (SO) North Blyth - Fort William alumina tanks arriving and reversing at FWS. loco uncouples ... ...and runs around the real 6S45 arrives at Newsham where it will reverse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL 'O THE WYND Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I've filled in the gaps between the trees with more sea moss and I'm reasonably happy with the results. fws 3.11.14 001.jpg fws 3.11.14 004.jpg New addition to the Class 66 fleet is Gbrf 66731 which will be used on North Blyth - Fort William Alcan trains. I'll lightly weather the loco later, most Gbrf 66s I've seen appear to be reasonably clean. A Legomanbiffo sound decoder will also be fitted. fws 3.11.14 005.jpg 66737 at Newsham 30.08.14.jpg Hi Mal, I'm giving myself a break so I can enjoy your work, Excellent! Captures the locality beautifully. I'm particularly interested in the sea-moss. I have a box full that I picked up second hand for next to nothing. The way you've done it I like the way its natural delicacy is filled out. I'll be copying that. Regards, Hal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL 'O THE WYND Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Over the weekend I've started weathering the low relief warehouse. This building was added simply to provide a break in the trees. I'll probably add some security fencing later. fws 9.11.14 001.jpg fws 9.11.14 002.jpg In addition, the yard office has been weathered and now looks more like the one at Tyne Yard (see earlier pic) The ground area around the building still needs some work done. fws 001.jpg I recently looked at Furnace Way sidings on Google Maps and was amazed to find how similar the track arrangement is to my plan. A loop with 2 sidings plus the crossover on to the B&T 'main' line. (The latter not modelled) Also, Google Earth shows a set of Alcan PCAs in the loop. Here is a pic of Bedlington South signal box which used to control arrivals and departures into FWS. The box is still in use today. B&T 12.9.14 001.jpg Love it! I badly need some North Eastern signalbox plans... Any advice? Hal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks Hal. Sorry can't help you with the signal box plans, but I'm sure there will be someone on RMweb that can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL 'O THE WYND Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Sadly, I have to confess it was a quicker trip through your thread than it deserves, but I thoroughly enjoyed it - very realistic. And I enjoyed the videos, too. You know, since green diesels captured me I really like contemporary work. Under other circumstances I could do it. Anyway, wor lass bought me a Bachmann sound 40 for Christmas, bless her. (she didn't realise how loud it is though!) I'll have to video it one day. It'll have to be re-numbered as its west-coast, but that's not a problem, that and a small yellow panel. Cheers, Hal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
