Andrew P Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi Joseph Great video and thanks for posting. As you say the track layout has been rationalised a lot. Which is probably just as well for me. Even now I've had to lose the down goods loop. I've been doing a bit more this afternoon on the cutting so here's a few pictures. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Off to do a bit more now Cheers Marcus Great set of pics Marcus, Grass is looking very good mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 That's Big Jim, JC. Just to give him some fore warning I shall be trundling round the Network on Monday and Wednesday night with the S Stock. HeHeHe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 He can follow my Class "66" InterhubGB, around my layout, if he likes ............................... have you driven that one? That's Big Jim, JC. Just to give him some fore warning I shall be trundling round the Network on Monday and Wednesday night with the S Stock. HeHeHe. ................. but he won't be able to see it at night, unless it is pulling something with a Rear Light on it. ..... I bought it, new, at the Bentley [Melksham] Show last week, but the Rear Light won't work in either direction. You probably know, it has a switch to turn it on/off, but that has no effect at all. It has a strange rattle to it, at times too, although I read somewhere, that it may be to do with the Bogie Mounts rattling. Either way, I will let Bachmann's finest look at it.

Marcus 37 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi JC Yep driven that one quite a few times. Funnily enough the last time I saw it I dragged back to Peterborough as it was a bit poorly. It was a bit more than knackered tail lights though!! Meanwhile a few pictures from the cutting this afternoon...... Cheers for now Marcus 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted April 19, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2015 Blimey Marcus, you've cracked on with this. Those photos are amazing, the rock face and scenery look spot on, absolutely brilliant. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks Chaps for the kind comments. Nice day at home today so got stuck in. The scenery is all now fixed in place. Final job was painting the rail sides once the ballast had dried. I really need to sort some kind of permanent lighting over the cutting so I can get some decent pictures down there. I've just got a short fluorescent tube over it temporarily but it's not brilliant. It will slow down a bit this week due to some not so modelling friendly shifts. The ballast I obtained from work sieved out a treat in the end using a fine sieve from Poundland of all places. I'm having a go at Al's stone walls at the moment using the larger stones that were left over. The only problem is at the moment there taking an absolute age to dry. The stone isn't absorbent like the cat litter so the glues still gooey. I'll leave it another couple of days and see what happens. Thanks once again for the compliments.

Jintyman Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Bloody Hell Marcus, You don't half work quick!!!! That rock work is looking superb, excellent job with the hanging basket liner too!!!Jinty ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks Jinty That hanging basket liner is some brilliant stuff. You can trim it to whatever length foliage you want. Think I'll be needing some more of it though!! There's still a fair bit glued down waiting to be worked on but this weeks not modelling friendly unfortunately.
