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

Layout is looking great !

 

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.

Hi Neil,

Just stumbled across thread and I like what I see!

Following with interest.

Cheers

Cheers Sam,

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

Neil,

 

You've just inspired my next project... a 3' x 8" P4 plank depicting that exact scene from Neville Hill.

 

Thanks

 

 

Mike

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 

Like those class 60s Neil.

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

Looks great Neil. Even the crane looks good!

Your 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
