      Need? who said need? - I saw a picture of one and thought "that's an interstingly ugly steam engine" the rest is mererly a hole in my bank balance :)

    Don't think Andrea will be too pleased if I start cutting holes in the new kitchen floor to take the TT300 or gluing the track down for that matter

    As promised here's a few snaps of the track following painting. The whole lot was sprayed with PP Weathered Wood (let down with approx 50% cellulose thinners and airbrushed using a cheap 7 quid single acting brush). Rail sides were hand painted using Humbrol Matt Rust. You can just see from the first photo the sleepers have been gapped close to the rail nearest to the viewing side, making them invisible from normal viewing angles as shown in the last photo. I really need to get the baseboard made don't I

    After a lot of searching, deliberating etc I have finally come up with the name Fourgig East for the layout and station Countdown fans will no doubt easily spot where it comes from

    Straight section of O gauge track painted last night. Once cleaned off will post a blog update showing it off ;)

    Nice job Chris, still don't see the facination with this prototype, but then I'm like that with most Fowlers. Think it's the parallel boilers/lack of belpaire.

    I'm kinds hoping that my O gauge project even though it's made with copperclad track will be able to dock - as long as I make my own interconnecting modules with Peco track

    painting today, sadly not the O gauge track, got to get the stairs done ready for the new carpet :(. On the plus side, the airbrushing of the sleepers went well yesterday - will I ever buy a rattle can again?

      You could always airbrush the stairs Ian. Make you feel better.

      Now that would need a lot of thinners! airbrush is at work anyhow ;)

    Must pick up one of those fire iron racks at a show this year, my WD is crying out for one
  15. RedgateModels

    might get my airbrush out tomorrow. Must get some PP Weathered Wood thinned down tonight though .....#

  16. RedgateModels

    Gapped the sleepers for the O gauge plain line last night, all washed up and ready to spray. So, where can I set the airbrush up? - new kitchen, maybe not ....

    Had another play last night arranging all the bits I have so far made. Here's a few pics for your enjoyment. SWMBO took one look at the items littering her new kitchen floor and said "Ooooh, Ivor The Engine" Can seee what she means though. Now, how do I convert the Pug, a sound chip would be good "Par par!"

    Well, it had to be done really, even though the average show punter will never see it. Waiting Shelter has been improved using a stretched front from the Small Station Building kit, you can just see where I've cut the overlays at the planking joins to stretch the doorway. I've also dressed it up with signs etc from the station kit to match. The sticky out Way Out sign is double sided and the advert board inside had to be shrunk (well only enlarged by 140%) to fit as this shelter has a seat back strip attached to the wall.

    LOADS of space in "N" - my "O" gauge layout is only 4 foot by 1 1/2 foot

    It;s a bit harder to hide O gauge I had to wait for her to get home for the camera in any case

    Found a little window of opportunity last night, SWMBO out at a meeting and #1 son happily playing with his Lego (#2 asleep), so out came the solder and flux and I now have this ready for some baseboards! I used the full yard length of rail and will make little cuts in the railhead where the joins should be before painting. I'm going to get the airbrush out to spray the PP weathered wood onto the sleepers then hand paint the rust to the sides of the rail - another first for me B)

    Just noticed - I've glued the station building shelter roof on the wrong way round, the tiles run the wrong way. Out with the #10A and a new cover layer for the underside methinks Been looking at the shelter front and there are faint join lines in the cladding, so I can cut at these and hopefully make the join invisible! Should have photos of thr improved shelter next week
