Clink junction

Morning. Is there any update on the release date?

@lyneux you seen these Guy? Just been to Warley and Cavalex had a PHA sample too. I best get saving!!

Just saw this pic, reminded me of Everard Junction straight away! Proves how good your layout is when real locations remind you of a model, rather than the other way round!! Keep up the good work!

Thanks fat controller. Was a fun cheap project. Think barriers came later. Original post asks about 1970s to 90s. I don’t have any personal photos but quick search of Flickr shows no barrier as late as 91.

Just come across this thread. Im modelling westbury in the early 90s and the Furzebrook - Avonmouth LPG was a regular. Either a railfreight petroleum 47 or 60 as traction normally. I made a rake of 18 from cheap Hornby TTAs (about £5 each). Cut the roof detail off, and sanded. Then added end detail and side hatches. Resprayed white with an aerosol from Halfords and added transfers.

Nice tip, thank you. I put a spot of polystyrene cement on mine yesterday. Left them overnight to dry (individually - obviously didn’t re-couple when the glue was still wet or I’d have a permanent rake!!). Re-coupled the train today and they ran perfect with no more random uncoupling behind.

They look awesome. Would like to tone mine down too but at around £50 each don’t want to screw it up!! Any tips on how you did yours? Is it paint or weathering powders and what colours/technique did you use?

Need help again… as some of you know I’m making a oo model of westbury during the 80s/90s so kind of on topic. Currently working on the station. Anyone know what was in the various offices? Think most of the windows were frosted, but guess I’ll need to make interiors for some. Any responses are much appreciated.

Thanks Guy, how’s the Whatley extension coming on?

2 years later than planned, but my PHAs finally arrive at Westbury… Did anyone come up with a fix for them uncoupling? I have to watch it like a hawk and keep stopping to reverse and pick up the wagons left behind. Thinking of a bit of black tape under the coupler so it’s semi permanent. Any suggestions?

I’m trying to recreate accurate 80s/90s platform clutter. BRUTE’s, bins, benches, luggage trolleys, vending machines etc are all widely available, but I’ve not seen any wheelchair ramps. Has anyone got any decent pictures so I can try and get some 3d printed? Here’s the only one I have found so far (credit to James AKA mcjlf1). Thanks in advance. Steve

Of all the ships in the world! One good thing, at two years late I’ve had time to squirrel away the odd tenner here and there so the misses doesn’t know what they have cost me!!

Just read the thread start to finish. Brilliant work Jo! Shame we never got to see it in 90s glory with some 50s and NSE colours - maybe on mk2!!.... N gauge had always intrigued me, but I love kit bashing and modifying, unfortunately, I don’t have the patience or skills for N. Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing your wagon works once exhibitions start again.

Found a couple photos on Flickr, looks like there were regular speedlink trains from Devon and Cornwall hauled by pairs of 37s. Anyone got any more photos or consist/destination details?
