Towards the end of its life some of the track at Leuchars was replaced with concrete sleepers so i thought i should get enough Individulay components to make up a couple of lengths.

I have been looking through the Judith Edge kits for inspiration. I hope to have one of each of the last two pairs of locos that worked the line. The NBL 0-4-0 and the R&H 0-6-0. That said I am not averse to having some that never worked the line. I like the idea of the Dick Kerr battery locomotive which worked at Guardbridge and lasted into the seventies, just for something different.

Enjoyed the video Andy. The backscene works really well. Good depth already.

I was not sure where to put this but decided here is probably best.

This wiĺl be a slow burn project built alongside my 00 scale Glasgow Queen Street layout, so updates will be occasional as (slow) progress is made.

I like to have more than one project on the go and I like to work in different scales at the same time.

So I have gone for this!

A representation of the railway system at RAF Leuchars in 0 gauge.

Here is my first bash at a plan. I suspect I may tinker with it yet.

You did well there Ade.

We are at the messy bit now. The cobble sets are relatively small laser cut modules so all the joints need filled, sanded and the sets rescribed. I also made a plywood tool to help mark and scribe the sets on the tramway track curve. The pivot will be hidden by the pavement.

Might be inclined to an 09 to move my crane about the yard too.

I am sure I have seen a video of a grey one shunting at Eatleigh in the early 90s

I would be inclined to go for a breakdown crane. I imagine there must have been a fairly sizeable example based at Eastleigh in your chosen timeframe.

As always, a great wee video. Your videos remind me of the best of days watching the trains go by.

Cheers

David

Thanks Brian. I agree lights would be good. One in the tram would be particularly effective.

I have a couple of these Leeds trams which I got for pennies.

I am thinking to repaint them in Glasgow Corporation livery as a stopgap til I build the kits I have of Glasgow trams.

Cheers

David

Absolutely superb Brian

Another great video Andy. Thanks for posting. I can confirm that some of those silver bullets made their way to Scotland. I used to work in Aberdeen and would visit the station at lunchtime. A couple of silver bullets would often be worked through the station at around 1pm. Most of course would be heavily weathered.I remember once seeing a brand new one not weathered at all, looked like a model!

Elaine has her smokebox number plate

I think you are  being a bit hard on yourself. The video looks great and whole scene captures Mallaig to a tee.

Well done.Cheers David

This quarter circle hole in the corner of George Square has been staring at me for the best part of two years! I thought I should make a start at filling it.

Thoroughly enjoyed video 19 Andy.

I think you have the balance between watching the trains go by and working in the yard and stabling point just right.

The finished plate

2023 has dawned and the Friday video is back. All is well in the world, well this bit of it anyway.

Cheers

David

The latest plates!

Great wee video Brian,

You have covered a lot of ground in 2022.

All the very best for 2023.

Cheers

Welcome back Andy, and all the compliments of the season to you.
