    The shed does need bedding in and a few more details adding although I needed to get things tidied up for the MRJ article so there are plenty of things still to finish. Hopefully with MRJ work and Railex now out of the way I can get back to some modelling. David

    It's been a while since I posted on this thread mainly because the shed build featured in the latest MRJ, but thought I would post pictures that were not used in the article. Also I have now found a photo of LMS mucky duck 43067 running with a GWR diagram U Crimson and cream autocoach at Aylesbury running to Calvert, aparently when no auto fitted loco was avalible then any loco was used including large parires and GWR moguls.

    Plenty of work still to do on Aylesbury shed, although this view has the feel of a steam shed. David

    When I was younger and still at school, the layouts that had a wow factor was Barry Norman's Wynlesham Cove (not too sure of the spelling) The North London Group's Bodmin and Chiltern Green, I saw the first two in Railway Modeller and Model Railway Constructor and later in the flesh at exhibitions I think it was as a show in Marlow in a hall close to the river that I saw Chiltern Green, but this may not be correct. Anyway I think what did it for me was the layouts looked right and not overscale and well presented. David

    Is there a need for the development of overhead catenary and panagraphs on aircraft! David

    Took this yesterday at a fellow club member railway room who is building a model of High Wycombe station circa 1957, I need to revisit the shot to get focus and depth of field correct but I do think it does have the feel of the real location. David

    Spent some time putting the shed on the on the layout, and installing the brick sets on the shed floor, I used slaters 2mm slate which was the closest to what I think brick flooring should look like. The pillars supporting the roof trusses have also been added, and before anyone asks one does cross straight accross the window. The photos were taken by Kevin Wood. David

    I am disapointed you have not added the rivets yet! David

    The loco is OO straight out of the box, just waiting for a P4 chasis kit which is being worked on!

    I sprayed the roof trusses black and popped a Hornby L1 in the shed to judge the effect, still plenty to do but its getting there. David

    The last couple of days I have built the trusses and smoke troughs, these I soldered up from copperclad strip, brass and wire and it is very strong, the smoke troughs are plasticard. David

    How about a railway with a big retaining wall behind with a road and shops/houses on top of the wall, oh and a bridge at a strange angle that gives access to a fiddle yard behind! David

    A bit more work today, The slaters plasticard for the corrigated iron roof I am going to replace with Ambis product, that if I can locate some, I think you can get it in copper or aluminum. The camera can be cruel in these close ups but it does indicate where I need to tidy up my modelling. David

    I have done some more work today fitted the wooden boarding above the curved windows and the bottom half of the flat topped ones. I am not too sure how I am gonna do the roof yet but it will have quite a bit of detail. David

    The brickwork was sprayed with red oxide primer left to dry, then Humbrol orange with a touch of Phoenix red was airbrushed over to give a base colour. When dry neat Humbrol 121 is brushed into the brickwork then wiped of straight away with a kitchen towel, again when dry the orange/brick red is dry brushed on slowly building the colour up. David

    The photo is a blow up of the one above but I think the colour looks right although the mortar may need repointing! generally I feel quite pleased. David
