HealeyMills Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hi Phil, Looks like you have another nice weekend for running trains in the garden. I have completed that small experiment with the Railtech decals, see here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/110499-varnishing-rail-tech-transfers/ Cheers Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 My favourite Hymek at the moment, D7016 in the last weeks of her service collects domestic coal empties from Withercombe & is seen making her way towards Barnstaple ..... 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HealeyMills Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi Phil, That Hymek looks great on the viaduct. Did you cast the pillars for the viaduct in concrete? Cheers Lee 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CME and Bottlewasher Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Nice Phill, very nice indeed, photos like that are what keeps the Down Ampney crew going - thoughts of DH locos and Thumpers running through the garden keep us modelling.

P.C.M Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Always nice to see a few pics Phill. I do like that Peak I am guessing a fair bit of work to improve it from the standard Skytrex model the ones I have seem didn't look right. Cheers Peter.

keefr2 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 This looks such a lovely way to spend a sunny summer afternoon! Although a few more of those wouldn't go amiss! The Peak running light over the viaduct looks fantastic (well, so does all the rest of the stock too!) Keith (just ever so slightly envious looking out on a pint sized garden in the rain! N-gauge wouldn't have quite the same impact!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HealeyMills Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Phil, I really love the photo of the Hymek on the 3 mineral wagons and brake. What really helps the scene is the small leaf size of your plants that run adjacent to you railway. Such a shame there has never been a class 40 along the Withercombe line!!! Please keep posting these great outdoor pics of your locos and stock. Cheers Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too much really Peter, the nose needs reshaping with filler & the side grills need sinking into the bodysides......the rest is just additional details really I will crack on with mine this winter, but here's a pic of how far I have got with mine & the one in the background is just as we got them from Skytrex.

I'm not normally a big fan of gala's as I prefer the running days but with 3 class 40's out it seemed too good to miss. I shall be going to ELR for the 842 running days too so perhaps we could meet up for a chat and a cuppa?? Cheers Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
