Not the best looking locos, but 70001 departs Hull Dairycoates with the Tarmac stone empties to Tunstead on 20th April 2021. Paul -

Unloading of N2, SO2, and CO2 tanks for food industry.
birdseyecircus replied to C126's topic in UK Prototype Questions
The cover picture of this book came to mind when I read your question. https://www.waterstones.com/book/private-owner-wagons-in-colour-for-the-modeller-and-historian/david-ratcliffe/9780711033658 Paul -
One that I never got to model was the parcel side of a large terminus station. Along the back scene a single track with a platform. On the platform either stone work or large advert hoardings just giving a hint of the train behind on the single track. Moving forward on the viewing side of the platform a track used for assembling a short parcel train and / or running DMU shuttles. In front of that 3 or 4 tracks to park parcel stock or stable the odd loco. The trick is giving the impression of a larger station, so lots of signs indicating platforms 6- 9 this way. The train partial hidden behind the adverts could be modelled with a coach door opened and several figures in line as if they have just got off. Hope I have given you or someone else food for thought. Paul

Several of these are available as kits. From time to time some manufacturers ask for suggestions but they don't go any further. I was hoping accurascale would add to their hopper range, but nothing as yet. It's all very well churning out loco after loco but if they have little to pull... I guess air brake stock is a niche market in what is still seen as a niche scale. Paul

Dapol O Gauge HEA and HAA Coal hoppers Progress
birdseyecircus replied to Great Western's topic in Dapol
Nice to see progress on these. Was there a HSA variant too for scrap metal that had the hopper doors welded shut? Paul -

Looks really nice Julian. So nice in fact I have ordered one despite running BR blue! Paul

A small tank engine would be a good bet, but a large chunk of work was already done on the Little Loco companies two up and coming plans before they folded - the Ruston shunter and the class 22. Could Dapol have bought into these? Paul

Novice Lane Stabling Sidings, late 90's diesel depot construction
birdseyecircus replied to Joner's topic in 7mm+ modelling
Looks good but as already said leave room for a portacabin and a road vehicle or two. Looking forward to your progress. Paul -
According to a Heljan Facebook Post these have just arrived in Denmark and are being shipped to the UK. Paul
