It’s all the little details that make the difference! Very nice. Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Hi Keith, The town scene is also coming along nicely. The wagon weathering is looking nice, I can’t stand the amount of graffiti on today’s Swiss rolling stock and I certainly wouldn’t want to “graffiti” my rolling stock. Rather just weather it like yours. Keep up the good work! Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Cheers Ian. I’ll try and pick some up next time I’m near my local store and stash it away until I’m ready to prime. Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Cheers. I was thinking of one of those primers from Halfords. I wonder if they have a suitable colour..??? Best regards, Jeremy

Cheers mate. I'm getting through a fair amount of plastics on it! I was thinking yesterday about how I will go about painting and I will probably airbrush the burgandy/red on and then hand paint the rest. For the red, I may use BR maroon (seems to be a close-ish match) but any other suggestions welcome! Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Morning all, Been a while since I posted on this thread so thought I would update with a couple of ongoing projects that I am slowly doing. First up, I have now painted the pipes on one of the driving cars of my Grey Mouse and here is a picture below showing the results which I think have really added to this already fine model. Just the other end to do now and then I'll get on to some subtle weathering to bring the whole model to life. Next up, I have been adding some more to the post depot. Its such a large building and its taking some time to scratch build. I have now completed all the supports on the ground floor and next up with be to add the window framework, doors and also the platform to the trackside of the building. Here is the depot at Thun which is what I am trying to achieve and below this, a photo of the model so far.. This is the trackside side angle and front, and then where I am at so far with the model... Still loads to do. The model is over two feet in width! Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Not sure how I missed this one. Nice layout and look forward to seeing more progress. Now following! Best regards, Jeremy

Much better with the original grills. Perhaps they could offer the same treatment to their HST and put the lighting arrangement back to the original format. (Albeit with LED’s or whatever they use these days).

Hi Will, Coming along really nicely. It’s frustrating when you run out of materials half way through a project. I’ve just ordered a load of plasticard in various formats. Ballasting looks nice. Will you be weathering it or going for the “freshly down” look? Keep up the good work! Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Hi, There’s an article on the Cathcart Circle in the December 2011 Railway Modeller with some scale drawings of the station buildings at Maxwell Park. Might be worth checking out. Good luck with the project! Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Morning, Just stumbled across these two fantastic videos. Nostalgia at Banbury!!! Enjoy!!! Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

That will look good Simon. Have you got an Intercity liveried MK3 rake to go with? Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Hi Will, Looking good matey. Yes, I may have a dabble into P4 although I'm also contemplating 0. I need a small manageble layout with my work commitments. Will keep you posted. Best regards, Jeremy

Very nice Simon. That railfreight 37 in the background looks like it needs finishing and put into service on some good old 80's/early 90's speedlink service! Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Nothing wrong with those mate. They look great! Best regards, Jeremy

Hi Will, Not sure how I missed this one but looks (and sounds!) like a fantastic project. I'm following now so will keep up to date. Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Very nice modelling as always. Looks like the beverage shelf also provides ample space for a selection of appropriate biscuits to complement the tea!

Inspiration for another weathering project there Cav!

some nice variety there. Speedlink days were the best!

Very nice. Is that 2mm society easitrac?

Always liked the 31's in sub sector livery. Looking forward to seeing the back dated layout then!

Wow! That looks superb. Looking forward to seeing some more. Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Looking good Simon. Weren't RNA's used as barrier wagons too? I'm sure TPM did a kit for these once upon a time. Keep up the good work and the photos coming! Best regards and stay safe, Jeremy

Looks spot on to me Grahame. Best regards, Jeremy

Hi Simon, Great videos mate. Just one thing, is that actual footage or your layout? It's very difficult to tell... Best regards, Jeremy
