    No, it's an old lima model bought second hand and has had some work done to it. I could always back date it a little to before it had the marker lights. It's still needing detailing and painting so could become any Stratford loco of around the mid 80's. I like your 47 with the 'silver' roof, I was looking at modelling a loco like that.

    Ok, thanks. I'm hoping to model 47085 Mammoth in the 80's but need to find a marker light.

    Good decision to keep those 47's, can I ask about 47 010, where did you get the marker light on the front from or was it on there originally?

    More cracking photo's! That one is very nice! Think I might have to save these for future reference! Love that 31.

    Those pics just ooze atmosphere, especially 31 418, the hut, ground cover and lack of boundry fences! Great photo.

    Finished one Limpet and started the yellow stripe on the other one. I'll have to carefully try and smooth the line between the colours, I didn't realise it would turn out so pronounced, I'll have to be try and be more careful with the next one!

    Thank you James, I remember that showcase and demo, it sowed the seeds for my future wagon weathering!

    I think they did but I've not seen too many photo's of it. Not sure I could replicate it easily though.

    Another couple of washes over the sides of the Limpet, one or two more coats and I'll put the yellow stripe on, and the Yellow stripe painted on another Limpet, I'm getting there!

    Nice photo's Steve, those wagons look great, there's a lot of older stock that will pass muster with a bit of detailing and weathering. I upgraded a few Hornby coal hoppers a while back.

    Agree with that! Mine ran superb straight out of the box! I just need a suitable layout to run it on!

    Glad Top Yard is growing on you, it's a nice little plan, been thinking about how it could be operated, should you extend fiddle yard! I had too much time on my hands Sunday!

    Gave the wagon another coat of a brown wash, it's getting there but gonna take a while. I'm aiming for this sort of discolouration.

    A bit more work done on my wagons. The Limpet on the right has been painted with Citadel Dawnstone and needs one more coat. The other one has had a couple of brown washes, I'm looking to put a filthy patina that nearly obliterates the original livery but using washes alone will take ages! Might have to try something else. The Brill has had transfers applied, the original yellow box was repainted as I only had white BRILL transfers, coat of Matt varnish next.

    I haven't got Apple TV so cant watch it, which is a shame 🙂 but to anyone watching Masters of the Air I'd recommend this. The sound quality is a bit poor but this guy is a true hero! I had goosebumps listening to this, such an unassuming bloke, yet what a story he has to tell!

    The 08 looks great, did you use a gloss varnish to put the decals on?

    I've completed the BRILL up to the stage of waiting for transfers, the LIMPETS have had a start made on weathering the insides and the outside of one.

    The signal looks mighty fine David, glad to see the layout coming along 🙂

    Good to hear you'll be at the Mid Essex show, hopefully I'll make that, look forward to seeing Daisy sidings 🙂

    I'm enjoying working on the BDA/BRILL, I've decide to keep one side as a BDA and the other side I will add BRILL transfers, the photo I have shows Railfreight Red livery, re numbered and with a yellow patch with BRILL in black on it. I've faded the red by applying a filter of Citadel Paints, Squigg Orange and gave the bed a coat of matt varnish. I'll work remove the paint over the numbers using a cocktail stick.

    Did a bit more weathering, drybrush some planks with Vallejo colours this time and a dark grey wash to bring out the planks, the photo I have showed some rust staining on some planks, so I copied that.

    Thanks for the link @Daddyman there's some good info on there. I believe the mesh appeared after my modelling era but not sure when exactly.
