Hello I'm after getting some hand rail wire to make a hand rail frame on one side of my sentinel could anyone tell me what size I need to match the rest

of the rail please

Thanks Richard

Exactly the same as me Richard I am going to buy and re spray for my 'Nangullow' China Clay dry. I would be interested to know what Orange you intend to use.

Not sure what orange to use really got some picture of her in a clean stat so shall hopefully get it something like it from that got some loadhaul orange to start from

I recall seeing a Sentinel in a china clay depot next to the mainline near St Austell this summer. Does any one know who it belongs to and what livery it carries underneath all of that clay dust?

That is Denise she stored at burngullow still in the orange livery at the moment had same graffiti add aswell as far as I no she belong to imerys

Here some picture of my sentinel arrived today then the plans to respray her into the orange livery and make her into Denise

Some new Bachmann polybulk wagon on the layout

Hi everyone i looking to put a dcc chip in my sentinel. I was wondering what chip would be the best one please?

Looking forward to getting the sentinel going be turning my into the ecc shunter at crugwallins Denise

Here some video of the layout not done much last few months due work and family stuff and the heat in the loft been to much hopfully back do some work soon again 

great work mate.

that is some impressive like the working rapid coal loader 

long time since i've done much had few projects going on started weathering the cda today 

Hi Richard, I used Enamel thinners and T-cut with a cotton bud to remove the logos, it can take time and patience but worth the effort. Hope that helps.

Thank for the info shall give that a go soon got few class 37 I want re decal.

Hi there all looking great how did you get the transfer off your class 60?

Over the weekend I managed to finish off the three 60s that were on the workbench, once the weather improves these three can then be weathered.

 

 

I couldn’t resist sitting them inside the shed;

 

 

 

It is nice to see some sector liveried Brush machines, they did look good in that livery......

 

There was a new arrival at Boxenby on Saturday, worked in from Outon Road;

 

 

 

Yesterday I managed to get the strips of translucent plastic for the skylight glazing cut to size.

 

Hopefully next weekend I can make a start on getting the roof sections painted ahead of finishing the skylights.

Some of my own photo of the cda

I like it a lot. Are you going to add some road borne clay transport like containers and tippers?

 

 

Pete
