Looks great Jon its coming on isn't it? Pete

I must say the louvres look good I hope they worked as we hoped? The hole wagon looks great :icon_thumbsup2::icon_clap::icon_clap: Pete

Probably a British design team would still be thinking about the basic estetics rather than the functionality of how well it will do the job its intended for and they would want a lot more money for doing it. Pete

Defiantly a "Frightliner" they are ugly but so was the 58, 59 & 66 until we got used to them. I like the idea of calling them "Robins" as the name of the Tamworth Built Super Car does suite them. Pete

A great Layout great detail and great building construction, but OMG I have just realized its DC operated what a complicated system to run such a large layout with. Pete

Carl your skills would put some model boat builders to shame very very nice indeed. Pete

Click on the attached image link then press control and hold down, then with the wheel on your mouse rotate it to zoom in or out so that you can see the image then use the next button that appears to view the pictures. I hope this helps? Pete

Jazz Do you use Etching Primer or basic Car Primer? Pete

James I have not thought of theme for the layout yet, I'm just going to see how it develops. Pete

This year in between running PH Designs, building models for people and keeping my work shop tidy, I have managed to find time to use up most of the wood left over from Dudley Road & Peters Street. What could I do so yet again a small very portable layout, I must admit that another reason is to have a platform to display some of my products and to demonstrate how they can be used in conjunction with other manufactures products, in the end I'm a modeller and I enjoy the construction of a layout. Well here are some pictures to show what I'm building. As you can see from these pictures I have altered the Peco point work slightly, I have done this so that I can get more track on the opposite end of the base board it has given me about 50mm more track on the sidings. All of the rail joints are soldered and I have used Exacto Scale Brass Cast fishplates soldered on place on the sides of the rails over the joints. The hard standing is made from four 2mm sheets of plasticard some Peco Concrete Sleeper rail fixings and some Code 75 rail. The back wall was constructed from some of the 2mm plasticard, some brick pattern plasticard and what was left from the wills bridge sections that I used on Dudley Road. Well that is about as far as I have gotten at the moment I will post more pictures as as when I have time to make some more progress. Pete
