mason

Lots more details added

Dornaplas groinf levers and I added some rodding on the 3 way

A Woking still forklift

Some faller bins

Also stock wise is a translator coach and 47033 is fitting in nicely

Next to arrive is a loco I have been after for a while

A large logo 56, currently being sound fitted and weathered and renumbered. Excited about this addition.

Not sure about the split two level affair concept Neil but 47033 is a belter - nice close ups on the Stabling / Fuelling Point.

 

Ian

The split level is to keep the paying public at shows entertains while I'm chatting haha

I'm always conscious of something moving and given that this is our show layout advertising our business we get a lot of people chatting to us which is superb.

The shuttle system is perfect to keep something rolling at all times and it's simple to change stock too.

Could of update pics including a new visitor to the yard in 47033

Looks awesome

Some cracking shots there Neil, it looks great.

 

 

 

I do love an 08, indeed I have an old one still trundling around that I got off you a few years ago. I am slowly being converted to 03s though.

lookin great mate BR depot should have lots of 08 pal and they all super nice one .

I do have an obsession with them but some do need to go

Nice collection of 08s.

Must get mine over to you for repair

Pop them in we will sort them out

Just a few pictures of the depot which is nearly complete and some of the 08s that have been growing in force

I have decided to cull a few as i have to many now that some don't really get a run out these days

Lots more details to add on the layout with fence panels around the fuel tank area and trees to go in the right corner

Really looking forward to taking this out next year

Another show booked also

Stamford may 6th 2017

Looking fantastic Neil. I'll have to make a little road trip soon and pop in the shop for a nosey. 

 

Cheers, Anthony

 

Hi Neil,

Only just found this, I don't get as much time on here these days. This is a great looking layout and as Alex said you can't beat a few loco's in railfreight liv.

 

Didn't know you had a shop either hope it's going well for you. 

 

Cheers Peter.

Hi Peter Thank you for the kind words, i do love a bit of RF livery

The shop is doing well so far, its early days as we have only been open 7 months but its something i am enjoying so much

More great work the loco fleet looks superb  the class 25 looks nice and work stained .

It really does look great and the sound is superb.

It really does look good, and looks even better in the flesh. I'm looking forward to you fitting the diesel refuelling thing now that we have fitted LED's to it

It's all wired in, just need to glue it all back in and take some pics tomorrow

Looks really good this mate can't wait to see it at donny next year

Look forward to seeing you there

The retaining walls have now been completed by James and the look superb

I have added some greenery to break up the brick work and I am totally pleased with how it looks.

I picked a walthers air con and vent kit up recently and thought they would be a great detail to add to the buildings and depot walls.

Easy to build and once sprayed and weathered they look really cool, the hardest thing to do is decide we're to put them

Now it's all the fine details to add which always takes s little longer

I have also had my Bachmann 25 rebooted by our inhouse weathering and sound fit guy who has given it a much better weathered look as opposed to the factory job and added a SWD sound decoder

It looks and sounds superb

Thanks class66

Today sees a bit more work on the layout with the rest of the retaining wall and more details being addded.

The kadee magnets are fitted on the front two sidings so I can do a little shunting on the wagon works but I need to get some practice in on these.

I'm only going to fit the kadees to the 08s and 20s as the large locos won't fit into the sidings with wagons and wouldn't really shunt the yard this small.

Awesome news and very well deserved indeed can't wait to see this on the big stage

With the rear middle factory section fitted I thought i would grass and finish that section with statics and fit the coils and junk around the dumped shunter

Looks pretty well rundown

More pipes n air cons n vents to add tomorrow.

superb work looking ace can i ask were you got the wire coils from the upper section steel works is lookin suitably weather and care worn .

I think they work really well.

This layout is the best you have built yet This layout is the best you have built yet

That good you said it twice haha

James has been over and fitted the middle steel works section and the retaining wall behind the fuel point

They look superb and will have the pipework etc added this week

The fiddle yard is also wired and running lovely

Very nice work Neil.

 

There appears to be something missing, Original Railfreight Grid!

 

Come on now.......

Hi Alex

Great to hear from you.

I'd love a RF grid

That would be superb

Looks really smart Neil!

Cheers Sam

The main front panels have been glossed and fitted back on the boards

So pleased with these, just some logos to be added

Also some shameless advertising tools used to advertise our business

Little layout billboard just needs painting and weathering

Waiting to hear from Nottingham, GCR Loughborough and Burton on Trent and a couple of others. Maybe TLLC?

Excellent, hopefully get to do a few shows together next year then.

We are in the process of securing the venue for The Little Layout Company Show so some details coming your way soon.

Looking good, Neil. Nice attention to detail m8.
