Richie Kynaston Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Hi Marcus, Superb layout, I've been reading all 89 pages of it, here and there as I've had time over the past few days! Sounds like you've been having fun with your 50s again, I am detecting a slight hint of a enthusiast coming through Really must wander out and get the 59 on the aggregate flow out of Tinsley. Its only 45 minutes from me, yet the only time I've seen it was when Bob T got hold of it again, and brought it back through Immingham - I was one of the idiots stood in pooring rain photographing it around Barnetby. I am assuming its still on the Midlands aggregate trains? Safe driving, and remember all work and no play ... you need some modelling time! haven't they killed the 56 and the video i have seen of the tractor is amazing its been well thrashed shunting there . superb photos Marcus . Not sure they exactly killed it, but suspect it has one hell of a headache with all the wheel flats it incurred!

Marcus 37 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi Richie Thanks for the kind words. You're certainly right about the all work and no play. Intend on putting that right next weekend. HaHa Currently sat at West Ruislip waiting to head out to Derby with the 20s. The 59 has been diagrammed to 6M40 / 6V14 Westbury to Stud Farm bulk ballast & return. I had it a few weeks back but I believe it's poorly again. Not sure if it's been fixed yet. I'll let you know if it reappears. All the best Cheers Marcus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Morning All. Shock , Horror..... A week off from work and I'm actually doing some modelling. I think the arrival of the ICI hoppers and the Peak Stone 07 has finally spurred me on. A project that has been waiting in the wings for a while is the Peak Dale Products building which I believe used to be the old offices for Dove Holes quarry. Anybody familiar with Peak Forest will know the building is the one on the corner opposite the depot entrance. I think most of us have used the hard standing at the end of it to park up when visiting the location. For those not familiar a here's a picture below. The shell for the building has been constructed for quite a while as can be seen below from the lack of ballast on the layout. Having managed to pick up some Plastikard from my local model shop I have set about cladding the building over the last couple of days. It's slightly scaled down from the prototype to fit the layout but hopefully gives a good representation once finished. Here's a few pictures of the project so far. Next job is to slate the roof which I shall be using the same method as the station building using overlapped strips of card with slots cut into it with random notches cut out to represent damaged or slipped slates. More to come later. Cheers for now. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 And one side of the roof tiled. Think that's enough for today as I've gone cross eyed cutting all those slots. HaHa. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2018 Time off work! You could have been learning iport this week give me a break from it, saying that I’m 2 days Landor to mountsorrel this week Building is looking good too 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I know Jim. Can't believe myself. That iport job is a bit of a grueller. I think they've had Liam out learning it which is only fair as he's been a bit left out in the route learning department since he started. I'm sure they'll catch up with me sooner or later. Just debating whether to do the other side of my roof or go and play trains for a bit. Have a good day mate Cheers Marcus. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Bit more progress this morning. Painted the roof, made some windows and added the window cills. Finally a coat of paint on the first section. Humbrol 90 appears to be fairly close to the prototype. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good, I like it. Thanks Leon. It's nice getting stuck in again. Didn't realise how much I had missed doing it. Mind you Diane didn't realise how much she missed the mess when I'm modelling HaHa Looking good, I like it. Thanks Leon. I'll try again after hitting reply to Andys post instead.

Iron Horse Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hi Marcus, you mentioned cladding the building in plasticard, what did you use as the structure? It looks fab though 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
