where is this gem of a location ?

Love it, superb work, I would pay good money to have that as a Display really nice idea

looks awesome buddy might have to do this as a test track

built my Van last night, going to give it a go during the week thanks for the tips and inspiration Pete

excellent work Ian, I have a ground van to build for my layout, was a freebie from a magazine, so will be giving the salt weathering method a go keep up the good work Pete

oh wow I love this thread, so many 66's and 60's and 37's all my faves, I am so jealous of your job

Thanks Ian thats a massive help, i will go and have a look now

Thanks Ian, that's a massive help, i am trying to do my first loco re-spray and couldn't find the correct colour keep up the good work P.S. was the water that you used for the transfers cold or slightly warm, I was advised to use slightly warm water but had no success thanks Pete

Hi pal, loving watching your updates on youtube, i was wondering, what is the name/number of the light grey colour on the 60’s keep up the good work Pete

love this layout, think i might have to build an O gauge layout, so much more pleasing to the eye keep up the good work Pete

Nice one Gerry, Will have a look into them, mine are rather short and am looking for some taller ones Cheers Pete

What Make are the yard light they look amazing, or did you scratch build them ? thanks Pete

love this layout, keep up the good work

Lots more bits done since my last post, I’ve been rather productive whilst off work, Would have cost me a fortune in fencing if not for my 3d printer Hope you like Pete

So, a few bits done over the Christmas/new year period Afew bits accuired and a few bits bought for me by my awesome other half Let me know your thoughts Hope you all have a good 2019 Pete

Picture of all 4 warehouses roughly in place, just needing painting Bit more ballasting done and some more rail rusting done

I ordered a paint pen from ebay to test as rail weathering/rust, i think it works great, nice and easy to apply as well, Let me know what you think, Happy moddling Pete

The motors i ordered for china for the 37 and the 59’s have arrived, yay, Going to print some spacers/adapters for them to fit into the old ringfield housing instead of gluing them, i have also reicieved the replacement gears as well as the are 2mm bore instead of 3mm iirc Will put photo’s up as i progress I am also hoping to make my own transfers for the europhoenix liveries as they are rather expensive per set If anyone has any advice or tips for doing this it would be greatly appreciated I am now up to 3 low relief warehouses for the back of the layout im thinking just one more will do I am also making a road over bridge with shops etc to the far end of the layout (looking at the photo from the OP) I also hope to finish painting the three above bodies tomorrow all being well Cheers for looking Pete

Apollogies for the rotation of some of the photo’s the uploader decided to flip them “doh”

So i had a layout in N gauge and grew bored of the miniscule scenary and inability to get what i wanted , and so i destroyed it and repurposed it into a OO gauge layout that i could do more with. For starters this is a ficticious layout and will portray my fascination with the Europhoenix livery attatched are pics of the before and after repurposing and a couple of the progress of some loco’s i am rebranding oh and some 3D printed low relief warehouses (if the pictures work) i hope some will find this interesting and if you dont then to each their own, all the best with your modeling endevours Pete

This layout looks amazing

I have been following your progress on youtube for quite some time and love watching the updates and progress, keep up the good work

to all on this thread, if you use this method and then wish to easily remove the ink, simply go over the ink with a dry wipe marker (white board marker) and it will wipe off

Thats a nice touch, works well
