After repainting her red, she looks a bit better. I might give her another coat of paint as some black paint is still showing

Here the cement bags are being fork- lifted on to the Karrier artic for the last leg of their journey to the building site.  The Karrier is a Base Toys tractor unit pulling a Ledo trailer;  the cab is a bit late for the fifties, the one-piece windscreen didn't arrive until 1962, but otherwise quite a good representation.  
(And it looks as if someone has borrowed his girlfriend's bike to ride to work on!)

I think the lorry being loaded up is a nice touch to the layout. I like little details like that

The layout looks like it is coming together nicely. Can not wait for to see more pics of your progress

There are some other places i think. I just can not remember some of the names

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2819449 is a North American example. There isn't much in the UK that resembles it. But since I know that there was some Alco switchers that were exported,adding a set of buffers on to a Lima Plymouth isnt a huge stretch.

Here you go, James:

 

Both locomotives look nice. Although i prefer the red Plymouth 0-4-0DH to the other one

The rolling stock looks good. I like the ventilated vans behind the cement wagons.

Many thanks for your encouragement,  James!

Your'e welcome. What rolling stock will you be using?

It's basically a Plymouth MDT model with a slightly extended front platform. I haven't been able to find anything exactly like it but there are some similar locomotives out there.

 

It is mostly a North American prototype but there's no saying that one couldn't have made its way across the pond.

Which locomotives look like it?

I have been in working on the trackplan for the layout by using the drawing and google earth.

This layout is looking brilliant. I like the cement mixer!

I am looking for an Arnold 0-6-0 chassis for Dolgoch which i am working on. It needs to be in a good condition and runs well.

I am also looking for OO9 turnout levers.

Please reply as soon as possible and let me know if you have any of these things,

Many thanks, 

James

Dolgoch has been repainted in bufferbeam red. She is starting to look much nicer now. When she dries, i might give her another coat of paint.

Here is my Dolgoch which i'm working on. As you can see, she's in a bit of a mess. She needs to be soldered together and then repainted (This time, with a spray gun for a neater finish)

Yes, that's the chassis I used originally, with a bit of a service it ran very nicely, though the large flanges on the wheels made it wobble a bit through point frogs. If caught at the wrong speed, it could easily tip over!

 

Mine now runs on an N-Drive chassis which is a vast improvement, with better sized wheels and prototypical valve gear.

 

 

Cheers

Your Dolgoch looks fantastic. I never knew she wore green for a while

Even though the baseboard isn't complete yet, i have several accessories to put on the layout. 

This includes:

Water crane

Coal merchant's building

2 signals (one junction, one single)

Telegraph poles

Trees

People (loco drivers\firemen, goods yard workers etc)

Vehicles of period

Station halt

Signal box

I am still working on the baseboard. I will probably show some photos when i get round to it.

Ok. The Lima shunter is not based on on any locomotive. 

So it is just a freelance shunter?

Looks like you need to add handrails to that list...

 

 

Yeah i should have probably added that...

I have a loading gauge which came with a train set i got so i will be probably using that on the layout. I also have signals and watercranes: one of Hornby origin (black with red tube), a maroon one and two PECO ones.

Great work. But where do you store your tools now?     

I am also thinking about that...

Clever idea with the lamp!

Analogue only please. No Southern diesels.

I am looking for modern day diesels in N gauge. I will be happy to take on Models from Dapol and Farish. Any Class will do (08, 20, 31, 37, 47, 57, 66, 67, 68, 70 etc) in any livery (EWS, DB Schenker, DRS, Freightliner Powerhaul) prefer them with lights working at both ends. will be happy to take dummies and non runners as well as preserved examples. Analogue models only please.

I would also like preserved examples of steam locomotives. (Also Analogue) (Tornado, Flying Scotsman, Black fives, Duchess of Sutherland, Union of South Africa, Bittern, Sir Nigel Gresley, Nunney Castle, Oliver Cromwell, Brittania etc) 

I am looking for some green BR diesels. Any class of diesel in any condition (damaged, non-runner) l normally take on Hornby and Bachmann but i will be happy to take on the older ones (Tri-Ang, Airfix, etc) I would like them to have lights if possible.

Looking good so far. Will you be using steam or diesel?
