Nice one Andy. Cheers Bob

Hi Paul Try here mate http://www.war-world.co.uk/index.php/grass-2mm_4mm__6mm_grass_tufts/?k=33622:16:::39 Cheers Bob Thanks Mick Cheers Bob

Thanks Matthew My good mate Tim Horn made it for me. Google search Tim Horn baseboards Cheers Bob

Thanks Cav I still have lots of lighting features to put in and bring the shed to life. The multi coloured led set was worth putting In Cheers Bob

I wanted the sidings to have a unloved look about them, I borrowed a Noch static grass machine off a mate and set about building the tufts up using 4 different coloured grasses and different lengths. I also found some ready made tufts and weeds for the war game market online and planted these around the depot, and used woodland scenics flock to build up the bushes. Cheers Bob

Lovey mate Cheers Bob

Great stuff mate

Lovely video mate, great afternoon much needed thankyou. And you are slowly working thru every class 86 number. Cheers Bob

2mm lighthouse LEDs are perfect for the dbso lights, not expensive either. Cheers Bob

Looking great mate. Phone was on silent! Will bell you over weekend, keep up the good work Bob

Looking top notch Mr P. Will catch up when I'm better mate Cheers Bob

Thanks guys Yes Ian agreed, but as above this is a test bed for hand built track for another layout so why not! Cheers Bob

Thanks Matt

2 Network Rail 57s are going through the weathering steps, I have renumbered one and kept the other as57312 with added nameplates. Plenty more left to do yet on them, also the chassis are to be stripped for weathering. Both are fitted with lenz silver chips.

Thanks Simon

So it looks like a signaller thought the NMT would fit

It was a test to see what it was like to build, I still have long points and a track flow that I wanted.

I made the shed smaller than the previous attempt so more of the yard is on show. I've had to use some modellers licence but it looks the part. Plasticard structure is built but still a lot of work inside and out to do. The backscene also requires more security fencing. The antenna mast is from PH designs and is still in build, cabling and detailing to add yet, then paint the receiver faces. More work continues on the hard standing in front of the shed. A picture of the layout at this stage, and a couple of fitting stock item pics

Thanks Andy

Fencing from PH designs was used, various weeding was carried out, detailing including the odd pigeon! Cabins are from knightwing.

Some pics before the fencing went in....

Thanks Andy Another pic of its first show, minus the left hand fiddle yard. Cheers Bob

Simply awesome Cav Cheers Bob

The layout was invited to the little layouts show in 2016, so a mad rush was in to get it working as a work in progress layout! My good lady made the drapes, I finished the tortoise point motors using exactoscale bases. A bit of the scenic work was carried out and off to the show it went. Had some good comments and the layout seemed to go down well

No vans were available in Balfour livery so I purchased some plain white oxford vans, painted the blue stripes and added Balfour decals I purchased from eBay years ago. I also have some crane kits built up ready to go into Balfour blue and white.
