    Really nice progress Will, particularly the ballasting. What ballast have you used?
  2. Chris56057
    Thanks very much.

    Morning all, Many happy returns to the Stationmaster! Yesterday was enjoyable, a trip down to Eastcroft depot in Nottingham to look over 158 and 153 units (a rare breed now) as part of my new role with EMR. Today we're back again for 156 traction. There is plenty to learn, but I'm having a great time. Cloudy and overcast here in Lincolnshire this morning, looking forward to the return of the warmer weather that is expected this weekend. Wishing you all a pleasant day. Chris

    Morning all, I haven't been round these ways for while, however it's good to be able to check in. Sunny and warm here in Branston, Lincs - looking forward to the day ahead. I'm training to be a guard with EMR having come from a platform based role at Lincoln - we're heading down to Eastcroft depot today so that should be interesting. Wishing you all a pleasant day. Chris

    The error in colour is what it is, if you're that bothered about it - get it resprayed. I'm really happy with how well these have come out - top marks to Hattons for getting them delivered before Christmas. Looking forward to receiving my 66789 over the next couple of days.

    Not much to report on over the last couple of months - here's a few photos of the layout at the Lincoln and District Model Railway Clubs Post Modernisation Exhibition. Still lots to do on the layout - I'm enjoying adding the smaller details.

    Has anybody received there's yet?

    Only a couple of week away!

    Looking good Mark - the hard standing has come out very well!

    Not long to go now!

    Moved on a bit since the last update. I'm taking my time ballasting and adding the various scatters to build up layers. It's slowly coming together. The layout is due to appear at the Lincoln and District Model Railway Society Post Modernisation Exhibition on October 19th/20th.

    Further scenic work taking place...

    I've lost some motivation over the summer with this project, however here is a spot of colour...

    Small progress has been made with this project - most of the wiring is now complete and the layout is running very well. Moving on to the scenics next.

    I have to disagree with the comment regarding the Heljan 47 running capabilities - I've had several now and they've all been fine.

    Lovely work here Lewis. Keep us posted with further updates. Interested to know how you did the road over bridge?
  20. Chris56057
    Interesting that the LLB and Biffa 66 don't seem to feature on the list. I would of thought that Bachmann may have tried to get it to market before the Hattons counterpart is released.

    A small update from the weekend - managed to purchase a couple of buildings at the LDMRC exhibition in Newark. One is a disused signal box and the other is a Lineside AWS hut. I also had a small issue with one of the points, which I've had to rectify but everything seems fine now. I've received the backscene in the post and will get that up soon.

    Just buy the current model and detail it to get it up to today's standards. With a bit of weathering it certainly looks as good as this new release.

    Further progress today, added some buffer stops and light (more to come) and installed the first of 3 Colbalt Point Motors.
  24. Chris56057
    Yes it was, definitely helps in not clogging up the point blades!
