Can I re-enter my cake box from the first challenge Pete

Mine has arrived. Very nice. Would love to see a photo of it next to the triang dock shunter and the W4 next to Polly or Nellie to show how far things have come in my model railway lifetime!! Pete

Too late - but just found a perfect waiting for a train scene on Exmoor Associates Facebook page

Set-up at DHMRS show

Had "Signal box" alongside my layout at the DHMRS show yesterday. Generated a lot of interest Pete

Think I'll sit this one out as I really need to get on with my main layout. Did have some thoughts along a theme …………. A man wearing a dog collar sits at his desk On the shelf behind him is a small model of a blue 0-6-0 In front of him is a blank sheet of paper - except for a title "The Three Railway Engines" or A man sits at his desk A model of a locomotive sits on the shelf behind him - named "Firefly" On the desk is a map with a dotted line running from London to Bristol or A man sits at his desk On the shelf behind him is a small railway and a radio-controlled boat On the desk is a blank sheet of paper - except for a heading "BRM article June 2019" Pete

Hi Phil, I seem to have dropped off the list? Pete

The express dairy was a genuine livery ... for a standard gauge wagon. Pure fantasy for narrow gauge. Very few private owner wagons for narrow gauge. I am only aware of MOY and JLL Peate, but there may be some more. Pete

A brilliantly simple idea - and great fun to do. But having joined in the challenge again I wonder if it has run its course? Twenty one threads this time - can we expect more or less for the next three challenges? Are there many watching ready to take the plunge for the next theme? Little coverage this time in BRM - has the team moved on to other thoughts? I will watch for the next theme - but not sure I'll be building this time Pete

Homework handed in !! Pete

Well - I reckon its about finished Light in signal box from a simple push button Did have a flickering fire effect - but managed to burnout the LED (D'oh) Pete

Thanks chap

Being dim when you say this is a members day is it open to all? or members of what??? Pete

Thanks Kevin Roof is now on - and signalman in position in front of the fire Pete

Interior progressing - as usual I put in details that no-one will ever see! So here's a chance to see what's in there before the roof goes on The flickering fire will keep the signalman and the station cat warm Pete

The nice thing about doing a cakebox layout is that you can try different techniques without a big investment of time or money. Saw an item in Tiger - called structure paste I assume this is meant for adding texture to oil paintings - various grades of "smoothness" available - and can be mixed with acrylic colour Used for ground cover - will post more photos soon

Bit more progress and arrival of signalman
