Fantastic !!! You have certainly got more patience than i have to be able to put all of those transfers on. 

I'm thinking of purchasing this book so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if it's any good ?

Your weathering looks spot on. Im looking forward to seeing the Seacows when they are finished.

Looks real...

Nice work Duncan.

Wow that looks superb. 

Happy Birthday Duncan. Hope your having a great day. The new Wagons look good. 

Ive only just came across this thread and I will be following it with interest as it looks to be a cracking layout.

I purchased this a few days ago from Smith's. It's very informative and well worth the £7.99 price tag.

Hi Everyone,

Well two of the three greys sprayed. Sorry the photos aren't great. You can see that the masking has pulled some of the rail grey off, and that was after two days drying... I will set aside for 2 more days before remasking and spraying the dark grey to the upper bodyside and roof. I will touch in the rail grey when the flint grey has dried.

Cheers Duncan

It looks superb Duncan. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Thanks for your reply Duncan. I will see if I can get to one of those shows. 

Superb video Duncan. Are you attending any shows this year with Shirebrook ?

Duncan the wiring looks very neat.

This looks like an excellent project. I look forward to seeing more updates about this.

This is another good book from Peco.

There are some half decent Track Plans in this Peco Book. I would advise against using first radius curves as they are way to tight for modern Locos and Rolling Stock.

Hi Dadpad I would definitely recommend N Gauge. My N Gauge layout which I have under construction is approx 4ft 8'' x 2ft 8''. The range of N Gauge scenics available seems to grow every month.

Hi, I have to hand over to my wife, Janet, to explain.

Hi, the washing line is a strand of wire and the washing is plain paper. I used colouring pencils first, then cut the shapes out with scissors and scalpel and glued the washing to the line with super glue. The washing lines were anchored to buildings, hole drilled into the walls or fixed to brass posts planted into the ground. The 'blowing in the wind' look was accidental as the washing line wire twisted slightly when it was glued to the support posts or buildings!

Cheers

Janet

Hi Janet many thanks for the info of how you made the washing line and the washing. It looks very realistic in the photo which they used in the Article in Model Rail Magazine. I will be attempting something similar on my N Gauge layout.

Cheers Mike.

Hi Duncan what materials did you use to create the washing line and washing on your layout.

I really enjoyed tonight's episode. All 3 layouts were very good.

Looking forward to seeing the progress of your layout.

I've just been watching your You Tube videos of your layout and I must say that it is superb. I love both the scenery and the weathering on your locos and stock.

I enjoyed last night's episode. The extra 15 mins made a lot of difference as it allowed more time to see some actual modelling taking place..  I'm looking forward to episode 2.
