spiket4 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi Mark......yes they are, more up to date versions are not available..hopefully one day, although... speaking to a Bachmann rep at the local model shop a new gwr autocoach could be in the pipeline?... I have both the b set and autocoach in maroon by Hornby for my planned 1950's WR branch line layout. Regards Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE1562 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi all....spent the afternoon threading fencing using laser cut posts... managed all 2ft of it, now i feel like mr magoo... rather than using a bridge as a scenic break(see earlier idea thread) i decided to put fencing along the edge with bushes which will give me a more open feel and make sighting for the magnets to uncouple easier and make it better to take pics.... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC04623.JPG DSC04621.JPG DSC04619.JPG[/quote I've wondered about approaching Osborns myself for other laser cutting ( as a one off ). Did you supply them with a CAD file or did they produce it themselves ? I did have access at one time to a laser cutter but now sadly it's gone. As an aside Devon County library in Exeter hold courses for using high tech equipment such as laser cutters and 3D printing if you're interested. Your layout is coming along very nicely I must say.

Hi bgman....the station and signal box signs are available on osborn's web site, you just fill the requirement for name.... give osborns a ring for the other work.. we had the exeter st davids signal box commissioned in n gauge through them by one of our club members, he did supply pics and other info but no cad drawing i believe, give them a call...

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted October 11, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi Dave, excuse the flurry of likes, I got all enthusiastic about the layout! The flow of track is very nicely done and appealing, and I really like the colours. Mr Beeching looks omnious, I think I recognize the figure from the Montys/Dart Castings range? Thanks for the tip about the signs from Osborn's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phixer64 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi Dave, lovely work there with the figures, got some of those myself, after cleaning and priming, like yours, mine have come out a treat. Keep up the good work Regards Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigancg Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hi Dave, Superb detail on the platform! I have to agree, I use Dart Castings figures too here at Berry Pomeroy and they are sublime to paint and view in situ once completed. Nigel, the chap who owns the company, is a friendly fellow too if you happen to have a chat and/or make a purchase at an exhibition where he is attending with a stand. Keep the lovely photos coming and excellent detail! Cheers, Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted October 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2016 The Dart Castings figures are very good, but it's your painting that really "makes" them, Dave. I like the subdued colour scheme you have chosen for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
