09107 brings in a Network South East coach 35464 for attention. This coach had been in South Wales for Rugby specials when it developed a problem and taken to Morfa Bank.

Sunday morning and 60062 is joined by Trainload Metals 56032 County of South Glamorgan & 37201.

Thanks guys. Couple more from this evening from Morfa Bank. Looks like the buffer stops in the yard have been given a fresh coat of paint. CAR brake van seen coupled to an internal steel wagon outside the workshop.

A couple of shots of the Freightliner train stabled at Morfa Bank the last container showing some talented graffiti.

A few shots of some of the locos stabled on the depot over the weekend. Good to see a class 60.

Great work Leon storage looks good

Thanks David, still a bit rough and needs finishing but you get the idea,, the layout is now a lot clearer so I am able to access more and run trains. I still have 4 sidings in the other "Dock" fiddle yard to use also.

Still got a lot to do to improve the layout lots of unfinished area's such as the motorway bridges and backscenes. Two projects still on the workbench include the 37/7 Trainload Metals conversion. I have filled the side windows, now need to paint up, renumber and add "Tremorfa Stelworks" plates etc. The second it the repaint of a Mainline 09 shunter into Rail Blue, I have re-sprayed body, now need BR arrows, numbers etc and a weathering. 

Kind regards

Good evening all, fixed the storage shelves above the main fiddle yard this evening as a place to store stock. As a result the yard and depot have less wagons and locos which I feel looks more realistic.

A short rake of fuel TTA's have been moved to the depot and a brace of stored Royal Mail coaches are left on the depot headshunt.

Next job more lighting above the fiddle yard.

Thanks guys.

With the fiddle yards holding 4 lines I have been restricted with running trains as I have no room to store them. I am now in the process of adding more space above the fiddle yards to hold the less used stock such as the Inter City rake of coaching stock, this will free up a siding to run trains to and from, I can also store a lot of he locomotives.

The lighting will be improved in time. The shelves will be on the MDF back board. Sound locos 37415 and 37898 are used for gauging along with some coaching stock. Not very exciting but necessary to get the layout more operational - not really ran trains in the 4 yrs it's been in building process.

Great last set of pictures, loving the grass between the tracks next to the 37, really gives the look of the train coming off the branch line.

Well done

Leon

fantastic layout, I'm going to sit down later and read through it again. Nice to see Coedbach working the area.

All the best

Leon

Hey all, thanks for all the likes and comments, starting to get a bit of interest back again so hopefully I can spend a bit more time in the attic. Still lots to do.

Thanks again.

One of my Fave shots, full of colour.

Bit of action as dusk falls, A pair of Trainload Coal 37/8's make light work of Rail freight HEA's, Trainload Metals 56 is tasked on the empties back up the Valley, Class 60 stables on the shed.

Thanks Brian

They just about squeezed it in before hitting the "stone buffer"....

Caught a train propelling its wagons back onto the wharf with little track left to spare. Time was 17.10 Thursday.

Thanks guys, very interesting.

Steel still. 60020 ready to leave this morning.

60020 at ABP Cardiff again this morning.

60020 has it's train loaded with steel at ABP Cardiff this morning.

60020 on today's steels.

66185 runs round it's train on Longships Road and then seen crossing Coldstores taken te end if last week.

Still on the subject of steel. Taken last week see DB livery 66 waiting for steel coil to be loaded.

The yard this morning.

Not stone, caught 66116 being loaded this morning on Ryan's Wharf. BYA covered wagons being used this time.

Just managed to catch last nights train reversing onto Ryan's Wharf in fading light. The weather went pretty bad.
