Oops. They are excellent.

Got an email today regarding paying the balance on these wagons so won’t be long to wait now. 

I would also like to see a Colas livery 56. Hopefully a retailer will maybe do a run if Dapol don’t. 

Excellent delivery today of my 156 very happy and well worth the wait.

Would definitely be interested in class 90’s and 91’s if they are made. 

Maybe one of these ???

Will any other liveries be getting done with a second production run ? 

Placed my order for the n gauge version in green last night, another model that I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of just need to decide what locomotive power to propel it DRS or Colas tractor. 

Received my order yesterday and again very pleased with the attention to detail on this wagon and service from Cavalex. Looking forward to future releases from them.

Have managed to find a couple so no longer need any more.

Could I possibly ask as to where you found this model as looking for a couple myself.

Thanks Davie 

Here is a couple of videos from the show that I took on Sunday three great layouts IMHO. 

First two layouts New Bryford on it’s last outing and Wellpark on its first.

And the star of the show for me Calcutta Sidings.

Well after just over a year of nothing happening I’m pleased to announce that the layout will start to get worked on again as it has a new home. Progress will be slow and steady as the flat will need worked on also but at least it’s a step forward. 

Davie

Unfortunately the layout is in store just now due to unforeseen circumstances but hopefully it will soon be sorted out and will have a new home and work will resume.

Here is a link to some video of Coppell the star of the show imho

Looks to be coming on nicely. Those walls look nicely weathered too, did you use Slaters walling?

Thanks the walls are Slaters plastikard, 7mm Cotswold Stone, they were given a light paint of grey and then weathered up using Carrs weathering powders. First time of doing walls with the powders and I'm happy with the results.

Davie

Well thought it was about time for a wee update on the layout after getting supplies at Model Rail I have made a start on the ballast and scenics

Davie

A very enjoyable show, good to see our Scottish friends, thanks to my team including the guest operators who did a fine job, cheers to the organisers for the award 2nd best visitors layout, and sorry for having to close the layout down for the last few hours due to rain on the fiddle yard!! The public were very understanding but it was a shame. There was not damage as far as I know.

​The layout performed well, a few issues that we worked around, but I keep reminding myself the layout is 27 years old, and some of the stock is even older. One guy said hello and asked if I remembered letting him operate the layout when I was at Glasgow 25 years ago and he was a kid!

​Got home 13.00hrs today after breaking my journey at Northampton. Journey home was mostly clear.

Cheers.

That was myself that spoke to you regarding operating your layout. Glad the rain didn't damage anything and that the layout made it home. As I mentioned above was worth the trip to Glasgow to see a wonderful layout.

David

Spent an enjoyable time watching your layout and chatting to your operating team today the level of detail is brilliant and it was just as I remembered your layout from the first time I seen it many years ago when you appeared at Glasgow. It was just a pity that the roof of the SECC decided to add some rain into the mix.

David

Made an attempt today with weathering the stone walls using some powders, I'm pleased with the results as you can gain different tones using them.

A few photos to give an idea what the layout will look like.

After a while of doing house improvements I managed to get a bit of time to work on the layout over the festive holidays. The main thing was testing the layout with most of the stock and all seems to be working fine with no derailments, testing of the ballast loading was a success with only minor modifications needed to stop the ballast missing the wagons. The other main step forward was to start on the scenics with the hill sides being covered with mod rock and then painted with a base of brown, also temporarily have put the security fencing in place just to see how it looks. Work has also been progressing with the two kits that were purchased just need to order more screw couplings and buffers and then build up the courage to start painting them.
