Scunthorpes torpedoes also used to cross the Lindsay light railway branch between scunthorpes appleby frodingham and normanby park with the torpedoes

You won't feel a thing.

Maybe he likes barclays lol

Did the hunt couplings make a big difference to the 60s ?

So the pipe bridge stumped me for some time. But then i came up with another idea. A conveyor running across the entrance. Ill still need to do a little more work of course, including the other supports. But id like peoples opinions so far?

Their i also kr models latest intent

Are these still available? Also how does it look next to normal 00 gauge locomotives

so far ive repainted 2 non british steel janus, and then just detailed /renumbered my british steel editions

Haha much the other way round. I'm hunting for more janus. Only another 50 to go...

So several things happened before Christmas. And then Christmas presents. So let's start in order Cranford is just about complete. Requiring just a driver and fireman to be added and then varnishing and coal adding. The headboards are magnetic meaning they can be switched accordingly. Next. The janus have been breeding again. Their are ten now... with a silver cab janus joining the more modern fleet. And finally to Christmas. I've been gifted a set of pta wagons by my partner in the Welsh livery. Oh dear. I feel a dock layout calling me...

So does gay crusader suffer from ski jump front or not lol?Very tempted to get one still.

Another little project almost complete from @Corbs at railwaymania

Thought I'd share a picture of mine scuttling about the steelworks.

So back with another update for you all. Janus no36 has joined the fleet in her mix and match style. This leads now to a total of 8 janus locos on the layout. The Cardiff rod mill coil wagons have finally had magnet couplings fitted to them after having issues with the very early style nem sockets were fitted by FTG (filling the gap) A model rail J70 has joined the fleet and will mainly be making appearances on rail tours. Also 5 of the narrow gauge locomotives have finally had name plates fitted. Although some of these never feature on the layout due to mainly being run on st retham, scaldwell and the D H Edges will regularly be seen.

industrial pannier...

thank you for the information regarding the ambiguous spares bag

If be interested too Paul

Something slightly different. Headboards. Both the afrps and rail riders headboards which will be carried amongst others on the locos.

I think the reason for not scratch building is just because I haven't had the drive to get it done. A kit seems somewhat easier but you are right that a scratch build would fit better. You make a very good point. I already have the book. Never thought about looking at it for some reason. Finally I forgot to add yet another loco recently joined the fleet. 0-6-0dh sentinel .

I noticed recently I never took a decent photo of my re branded "could have been" usa tank. So first to correct that Other than that am I the only one struggling to find drive to work in the layout rather than operate it. I still have the pipe bridge to even start. And I've more static grass to go down but for the life of me I just can't seem to do it. Re the pipe bridge ; is their any good pipe kits out there for larger pipe. Or smaller pipe other than knightwing. And does anyone know of any gantry kits rather than scratch building. Thankyou in advance

Straight from the sentinel sales brochure

Time for another update The avonside cranford locos are progressing, but things turned to playing A new brawa loco was acquired. The first ive owned. And wow. They are a beautiful piece if kit Followed up. By the stunning cavalex bba wagons. A big thanks to cavalex direct and rails for enabling me to get 4 wagons. But I may have to make a siding longer lol. So more interesting stock set ready for if an event ever takes place.

New month, and a new loco kit... or 2 can you guess what loco they will be?

So its been. While and since returning to work and to railway operations at the AFRPS Its been a little quiet on the model front. I've acquired some more types of grass to try and have placed a large etch order for nameplates with narrow planet. This being due to a new locomotive kit thats on the way from railway mania. It should prove to fill a large hole in the scunthorpe fleet. Also due to my not being with it it seems that I missed out on the cavalex bba wagons. Does anyone know of anywhere with stock? The flat wagons are regularly seen at scunthorpe. But not the coil carriers. With there being no image of the railway this time. Here's an image of the steelworks itself . I do wish i had this as a backdrop...

So , its been a while, lockdown was a thing, i had several weeks sick, and then its a whirlwind of back to work, but has anything happened. in short, a little. grass has begun growing in some areas of the layout (well ... being stuck down) a few more figures have arrived and loco crews have been added to several locos the heritage coaches rake has begun to form. still trialing the magnet couplings the ingot wagons now run a lot smoother than before after some work. hornbys austerity 22 burnt out and has been maintained and repaired A Dapol B2 and hardys RSH has joined the steam fleet A NJM models DI8 and a 3d printed hunslet has joined the diesel fleet suitable wagons for scrap are now use to represent end of steam and diesel eras. More pallets and pallet loads have appeared the mail coach is now complete, still not sure of my plans for it ok maybe more has happened than i realise
