That workshop is looking awesome mate, superb.

Lovely Nick Really is nice

Superb mate, not checked in for a while Looks awesome

Bloody awesome my friend

It's been a few months since any updates Mostly due to the amount of work that little layouts has seen and the impending opening of our own model shop so things have been very hectic Things have slowly progressed in the back ground with the layout and I will post new pictures in due course. The layout has two shows booked this year The Corby and district model society in October And we are honoured to be invited to the gaugemaster 40th anniversary show which we are delighted to attend. In the meantime keep an eye out for our shop opening which we are so excited about. Please come and support us and our business venture

Coking on nicely Cav Looks really smart

Thanks Ian I now have 4 tugs n love them I'm going to concentrate on the 08s n shunter varieties next which will serve on the micro layout that will sit in the shop

Looking awesome mate Progress is going well

Little mess about with a video

Bit more action down at Ralphingley today with many loco movements

Wow thank you it's nice to get components all the way from Canada

Looking awesome mate some stunning detail

More greenery and fencing up Bit if weathering on a seacows too Still lots of detail to add in then I can get the other board in and start work on that

A bit of foliage has sprouted around ralphingley today Also depot doors fitted And another 60 has arrived, that's 4 stabled here now, think I have an obsession haha Lots of details to start adding now

Ballasted, drying, can't wait to get some grasses and details in

I have now completed the point operating system Using O gauge rail with a brass wire pin soldered on and into the tie bar The rail sits in a plastic tube that goes into the frame and held in place using electrical cable holders Works a treat and is easily repairable if needed Also a few details have been added to the inside of the single road shed Benchs, tools and pipes

More progress on the backscene and the hard standing is taking shape with some colour to it. Needs toning down a bit as its a little dark.

Cheers Sam, Hard standing has been painted and needs weathering then I can get the depot section fitted and lights installed

That's great Mike, it certainly inspired me, I love looking at a picture and thinking can I model that in s small space This kind of escalated a little but the basics are there haha Thank you for liking our Feb page too Mike

This is one of the pics that sparked this build I really like the dirty look and the ground cover is great Hopefully I can achieve the same

Bit more progress on the scenic board with back panels fitted and hard standing going in

Thanks James I am considering chopping the track so that I can bring the first board in and work on it as you saw the shed is slightly full hahaha

Thanks mate, got the buffers and numbers and plates in the post today so I can crack on a little more with them

I managed to bag a couple more tugs over Christmas Although they needed rebuilding, what was there the previous owner had kept in good condition Chassis tested, and running nicely Frames re attached Ploughs fitted Cabs refitted New transrail decals and numbers on there way One will be 084 and I'm searching for another number to do the second, possibly 037. Still need to get buffer sets for each Couplings and pipes Nameplates Horns , I believe 37s fit also Windscreens Wipers And under frame parts for one loco, If anyone has any of these bits not needed pls pm me as some of them are hard to get

Thanks RichardYour crane looks outstanding, I hope you got new homes for the others to made? It will look better when it's on a concrete pad
