  1. Class 50 50027 waits patiently as ropley will start to revive its new controls and fiddle yards as of tomorrow it's going to be a painful project but will allow better operating
  2. OO gauge railway project ropley showing its work in progress head shunt where locos are stored awaiting restoration work to commence
  3. Work has been done on the head shunt line ready for finishing off, just rail painting left. 33208 (to be) poses at the front of the lineup of locos awaiting attention. It looks like there has been a few locos moved out judging by how far down the siding this photo has been taken. Work will now start on the running line adding details and making it look more authentic. the front hillside will recieve some more scenic detail too. Chris
  4. Ian I have dropped you a text let me know and that looks like a really good potential solution thank you
  5. Ropley head shunt is now finally taking shape just the other embankment to go then trees to add I have even added all the clutter on the railway lines looking good if I do say so myself. What colours do people use on the rails as I would like to make them look realistic. Chris
