I painted my backscene with grey and white primer with afew areas of very light blue painted before being sprayed with the primers. See my thread Blackney a glimpse of the Forest.

I do like Hymeks and come to think of it "Baby Warships" as well as panniers.

An 0 gauge dive in again, nothing to with building kits apart from weathering the Beware sign fom Intentio.
Glad we are not in the USA and having to wait an extremely long time for a very long freight to go passed.

A bit of a delay whilst I've been awaiting a delivery from Intentio models.
D9502 makes its way over the ungated crossing on its way back to Bullo Pill and then on to Gloucester.

One can never be too busy to drool over panniers, unless you have spam in your name.

Well, thanks to some generous folk, the H has gone as has a Peckett, the class 14 and maybe an 03 plus the quicky layout.
All very good and already has freed up a bit of head space.
Rob.
Will this new found wealth go towards a new 0 gauge layout 😁

Excuse me interupting againb but I have spent the last month or so slightly changing my 0 gauge layout Blackney. I wanted to some of my sort of modelling ie scenery, but the layout is all but finished and I have no room to expand or extend. What to do????
I've got it Make the fiddleyard scenic. It will keep me out of the pub, fill a modelling need and give me somewhere else to pose locos and stock for taking photos. Now whilst the layout is set in the Forest of Dean, it is not all trees. many of the lines pass through open areas. So that's what I would do. Problem!! the fiddleyard has a sector plate, answer have a removeable scenic section that can be taken out whilst the layout is operated.
I must admit I'm more than happy with the result considering it was done when my right eye was suffering from PCO which meant sight through that eye was rather hazy to say the least. That problem was dealt with last week (laser treatment) and i can see properly again or at least as proper as a man of 77 should be able to see. and I am still happy with my efforts.
Any way some photos

Nearly finished with moveable section taken out
