Thanks Peter, Yeah the fitters found a few faults with the 26 so unfortunatley she's hanging about a bit till they get sorted.......no you're right she is a fav of mine at the moment cheers Arnie

Hi there, Been experimenting taking some photo's of the layout with a bit of natural light thrown on it.

Hi, Just been into the "Geek Room" as the wife calls it didn't get much done as was a bit hot in there. Took a few pics though. Hopefully gonna get a new camera soon so i don't have to rely on the iphone for photos anymore. Cheers Arnie

Hi Neil, Just been catching up on your thread. Depot area looks superb and definately echo the comments on the tree's they look great. Nice grid also Keep up the good work dude, look forward to more pics! Cheers Arnie

Hi Peter, Thanks, yeah had to get a 26 in somehow i'm a big fan of the baby sulzers. Just fitted her with a Howes sound chip, sounds very nice pottering about doing a bit of shunting Cheers Arnie

Thanks for the comment Neil

A very rare visitor to Arnash, 26037 pops in for some light maintenace before going back up north!

Hi there, Got hold of one of Bachmann's single road engine shed's. They are rather tasty I have plonked it down on the other side of the layout that will eventually become a yard and small maintrence area. I have attached some pics of the shed and other bits. Cheers Arnie

Cheers Rich

Hi Guy, Thanks for the comment, I sprayed on a thinned mixture of railmatch frame dirt and sleeper grime over the ballast and then some railmatch weathered black and some MIG blacksmoke weathering powder for some shading and oil patches. It was my first time doing any track and ballast weathering but it seems to have come out ok. Cheers Arnie

Hi there, Some favourite locos of mine and some new arrivals on shed! Cheers Arnie

Hi Grimley, Like the new pics, coming on superbly Cheers Arnie

Hi, Just managed to get a bit of time to wire up and test the lights in the shed, here are a few pics of the shed lights and others that i've managed to wire up so far. Still got the signals to do. Cheers Arnie

Cheers Grimley Yeah the peaks are slowly taking over the depot at the moment

Hi Phil, She looks lovely mate nice one I do like the orginal peaks shame they were all gone by the early 80's would have liked one for the layout. Cheers Arnie

Thanks Phil, Yeah she's definately my favourite peak so far Going to hopefully have some time tonight to wire up the shed's interior lights. Cheers Arnie

Cheers Rich

Hi, A few pics of the latest peak to arrive on shed, 45046 Royal Fusilier with painted on Tinsley nameplate. Cheers Arnie

Hi Phil, Cheers for the latest pic, 08509 looks smart maybe another to add to the list Yeah Tinsley did look like a loco graveyard alot of the time! Enjoy the detailing up of Royal Signals. Cheers Arnie

Hi Phil, Some more nice photos there Darnall was funnily enough one i was thinking of doing! I'm also planning on getting a BR Blue 47 done as 47002 Sea King in the near future. Planning on getting her done nice and battered just before she was withdrawn in 91. There are also some 37 Tinsley namers i would like to model one day also. Cheers Arnie

Thanks very much 66

Thanks for the comment Richard The green Tinsley namer is on my list also

Hi Peter, Thanks I have been putting off the lighting for ages, I should of installed them when I started the layout but was to impatient at the time and wanted to get some trains running I have also got some signals to wire up which hopefully i'm gonna crack on with tonight. Cheers Arnie

Hi Phil, Thanks again for some more pics A Tinsley namer gronk is also on my list to do! I've always had a real fondness for peaks even though i'm from down south and didn't get to see too many of them, perhaps that is the appeal of them and have always taken a real shine to the Tinsley namers. I do remember the green peak 106 i believe, shame that it didn't last long and had to catch fire I have another peak on it's way to me but it dosen't have the high intensity lamp fitted so gonna put Vampire back for the moment and turn this one into 45046 Royal Fusilier Cheers Arnie

Thanks for the info Leon, i have just placed an order for one of the tanks from them just gotta decide where to put it now. Cheers Arnie
