Hi would you be able to post a link to the live stream for facebook ?. It would be good to see the layout out for its first exhibition as I spent a few hours running Sarum town when Graham was building it. Hope the show goes well Stuart

Hope the show goes well. I am hoping to bring my 2 year old to his first show over the weekend.

Coming along nicely Graham. As soon as I build up some more 70s stock it would be good to do some older photos ? Keep up the good work Little brother

Hi all. As in my previous post I am going to be selling most of my OO stock and the layout aswell if anyone is interested. If not the layout will be broken up and all the bits stored. I will probably put some of the stock for sale on the well known auctioning site. But if anyone on here is interested in any of the stock please do send me a PM and I will get back to you as soon as possible most the engines are either DCC fitted except the 33 & 37 which both have legoman sounds in. I can put the DCC fitted stuff back to analogue if required As before the main reason for the sale of my OO stuff is to fund some new stock in n gauge which I would like to add a couple of DCC sound fitted locos The main bits I will be selling are as follows. BR Blue weathered class 33 with legoman sounds in BR Blue weathered class 37 with legoman sounds in. Dapol Early BR blue class 73 E6039 DCC fitted BR blue EPB DCC fitted BR blue 2 bill DCC fitted BR Blue & grey MLV DCC fitted A mixture of Hornby MK1 coaches and BGs and a few other mail vans and wagons. Many thanks for your time in reading this post. Stuart

END OF THE LINE Time has come to and end for Haynes end for me and I think its time to move it on now. As I don't really get much time for modelling these days and space is a big thing at the moment with little one running around now. I have decided to go back to n gauge if anyone is interested in the layout or any of the stock as it will all be going to fund some DCC sound n gauge locos and stock hopefully. please do drop me a PM and I will try and get back to you as soon as possible. There is a plan already for an n gauge layout but I will share more on this as and when I get some bits together. Thank you to everyone who has commented on the thread and with some great advice Many thanks Stuart

Hi Rich / Mike Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately things haven't worked out on the house front with the vendor pulling out at the last minute,and our little one being in hospital lately has put a hold on everything. So there has been no work on the layout of late. I have however been playing around with some stock for weathering and today I made a start on my next box van. I have given the roof a mix of powders to give it a base to work on for the the next application. Then I gave the underframe a coat of Matt black as base and painted to wheels. I will paint some individual planks all round and I am going to try and add some chalk writing on it aswell Excuse the poor quality of the photos Stuart

That's a very impressive looking model.great buy Stuart

Looking forward to some more videos of the newly acquired sound fitted stock you have got graham. Any chance of getting some pictures of the duchess ? Stuart

Evening all There isnt anything to update as far as the layout goes at the moment. With a possible house move on the cards everything in the loft is being taken up but Haynes End will remain in tact its just the off scene track work that has had to be taken up. the loft in the new house looks to be a decent size and i should be able remake a circuit very quickly once we get settled in. the plan at the moment though is to maybe have a continious run fiddle yard if im lucky enough to be able to take the layout to shows in the future. i will update as soon as things start to progress Stuart

Hi Geep7 First off what a cracking layout you are producing and I look forward to future updates. If you dont mind me asking where did you get your speed restriction signs ? Stuart

Had abit of rare modelling time this afternoon. i went to the erith show in longfield a couple of weeks ago and picked up some brokentoad weathering pigments so i thought i would have a play around with them this afternoon. I have been looking a photos of br 12t box vans and have applied my own interpritation of them i have attached some step by step pictures. i would appreciate your comments and feedback brokentoad weathering powders first up i painted some indivdual planks different colours then started adding the powders powders brushed off finshed next to a cleaner fruit van Stuart

Congratulations on another fantastic show in longfield. very well organised and some fantastic layouts i have a attached a couple of photos of some of the wonderful layouts. the pictures i have of drewry lane havent come out very well which i am anoyed about as it being its last show. i am a big fan of stu's work and im very glad i had the chance to see it one more time. If you ever need a layout to fill a space please do pm me and i can give you details about Haynes End. Stuart

Well first up i hope everyone had a very merry christmas. Not alot has been happening at Haynes End as our 5 month old has kept me very busy of late. a few little treats turned up over christmas in the form of some lovely Hornby blue & grey mk1s and a building for the back of the layout i only managed to grab a quick couple of pictures but i will try and do a new video soon. the 47 is one of my virgin heritage collection so only comes out the cabinet every now and then. you may also see that the roof has been reinstalled on the loading bay Happy New Year to you all Stuart

thanks very much. i look forward to more updates stuart

Hi Paul I really like what you have done here i am thinking about converting from oo to o gauge atm and looking to build something small like this as space is at a premium. if you dont mind me asking what points have you used are they peco ? Stuart
