Greetings fellow humans for which I am one of! Following my decision to move over to Bury Bolton Street, I felt it would be a good idea to create a thread dedicated towards my workbench, for which has gained the appropriate name of "Bury Baron Street." This will cover detailing, scratchbuilding/kitbuilding for everything on the layout. Currently, the fleet of my ELR is: Visitors *Hornby Railroad 4472 Flying Scotsman Residents *Lima GWR Prairie 4589 *Tri-ang 3f (under overhaul) The "Prairie" will require: *Bachmann chassis *Renumbering The 3f is being coverted into a L&Y class 27, which'll need: *New Smokebox door *Modified/replacement tender *Rounded firebox *New Cab? *Repaint I also have a mk1 rake, which is made up of a: *Tri-ang Intercity Buffet *Tri-ang Intercity Composite coach *Hornby Railroad Maroon Brake The Tri-ang coaches will require Bachmann commonwealth bogies, which I shall source soon. More coming soon!

All new RTR Class 91 and Mark 4 carriages
Darlington South Junction replied to Grimleygrid's topic in Cavalex
Is there any way I could sneak one of these into a Bury Bolton Street layout? This honestly looks great and I would buy one if the ELR bought one for some strange reason and placed it into platform 1 at Bury! -

Project Update and an Apology I would like to apologise to those who were expecting a Darlington layout. Over the past few months, I've become increasingly interested in the ELR and Bury Bolton Street. The idea for this has appeared in my head a few times, and this idea stalled. So, I decided to ditch this plan and do a Bury Bolton Street layout. Yet again, my indecisiveness kicked in. So, I would like to apologise to those who were disappointed. I may turn this into the BBS (Bury Bolton Street) layout page or create a completely new one. Onward with the new plan, I have made a decent start already. I have most of the track work in place for the station, with the other side (either a fiddle yard or another scene (s)) having absolutely no track! I also have a Mk1 composite and a Mk1 buffet (both Tri-ang and blue/grey.) I also have a maroon railroad mk1 brake (which I love by the way!) Also, I have a tiny demonstration freight rake. And to top it all off, my first resident locomotive- Lima GWR Prarie 4589 (and the Flying Scotsman, but that'll be a visitor.) The only issue is that the Mk1 buffet has a chunk of one wheel missing, so I have an excuse to replace the bogies with Bachmann commonwealth bogies! The current plan is: Replace 4589's chassis with a Bachmann one Replace the Tri-ang wheels with Bachmann Commonwealth Bogies Buy track (lots of track) Buy another resident locomotive (diesel or steam will suffice) Continue to modify my Tri-ang 3f into a L&Y class 27) Work out the rest from there I can upload some photos of the work so far if it wasn't pitch black. More coming soon! (hopefully) -

Good work so far! 'tis a shame that the prototypes are being withdrawn as I've developed quite a liking for them! -

My only request for this project is that you add a little Jeremy Corbyn sitting on the floor in one of the VTEC coaches! -
