Popular Post Lyddrail Posted June 23, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2016 I just about got everything ready for the NSE display at Showcase. Above display of stock from me, Jim Smith Wright and Si Bendall. Above me at my add on display including N gauge stock from Steve Farmer. I was surprised how many NSE livery units I had made, not including the Blue/Grey NSE signed units I had for running on Maidstone Barracks. Since Showcase I have put my efforts into getting ready for my annual home model show in my studio in July. I have finally been putting my real railway items collected over the years on the walls of the studio and outside too. I will post some pics of these soon. Above some logos I got from collectors corner mounted on painted boards, ready to go on the walls. The layout will be going up shortly too for the show which will be celebrating NSE 30th anniversary. Cheers. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Thanks gents. I have been working outside too. I still can't believe I painted my black lamppost red! My neighbours thankfully know I am a railway nut! The gate was crying out for a red LC disc. A friend was given the Watford sign which I have found a good use for. The warning sign was redundant when I worked on the railway. Pics of inside the studio will follow in the next couple of days. Cheers.

MRDBLUE17 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hi Paul, Really enjoyed seeing your NSE display at showcase. So many really nice units but the Wessex stood out for me, a really nice job. All the best Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf315 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Paul All looking good. Like the gate and the lamppost looks ace. In retirement are you taking on house decoration as long as it's NSE red it wants painting. Thanks Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retirement are you taking on house decoration as long as it's NSE red it wants painting. Thanks Steve. Steve, Please note I am in "early" retirement. I do have a large tin of NSE early blue paint which could be used somewhere, ideal as a feature wall!! Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Things are getting there in the studio decoration. The items consist of Tim Horn's laser cut nameplates & plaques, matchstick nameplates made by a friend, and railway items I collected in my working life or from Collectors Corner. The Hither Green plaque here is the real thing. The cast double arrow came off 56104. My study nerve centre displaying Kent Coast & Link logos. Cheers. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Looking good Paul, Love Barrie's nameplate, Steve, The idea is to name that half of the studio after him. Full size it does stand out. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks for the likes of the studio display. I have been away helping my brother do some DIY works in Northampton. I will be back working at home tommorrow. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have made further progress with items for my open weekend. Andy on this site donated me some NSE Chiltern logos etc. Now mounted as below. I have made a new sign to put on my lamppost too. Finally I have possibly gone too far to celebrate NSE 30th with painting my mobile home! This is after the 1st coats. Cheers. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyddrail Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Should have popped in for a cuppa!! Nobby, I would have liked to visit my Northampton friends but I was kept busy with the DIY and I shouldn't have been there while preparing for Lydd Rail, so I couldn't spent more than 2 days. See you soon anyway. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf315 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 with a bit of luck hopefully I'll get to test it out next week. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I completed the NSE mobile home, I was going to put a NSE flash & writing on the white band but when painting the masking tape pulled some of the paint off, So I will not take the risk. You can see I have made it a local train! I will report what Chris Green says when he sees it at my open weekend on Saturday, should be interesting. Cheers.

Lyddrail Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 I am just about recovered from my open weekend. I must get the layout ready for it's next outing on 13th & 14th August at Midland Railex at Butterley. I will be running extra NSE stock plus providing further NSE stock to Si Bendall's NSE 30th display. At my open weekend Chris Green gave us a very interesting talk about how NSE came about and was rolled out. He was impressed with my NSE mobile home and recognised many NSE items on the layouts and displays. Below the group shot with Chris on Saturday. Chris looking at TWY. Another view of the layout. Cheers. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
