Ahh fine. I thought that maybe the caption was wrong.

33030 with ploughs sounds nicest?

Lukasz

You've probably somehow worked out that the blue 33 behind 030 is 33116 but the caption for that photo says 33051?

33030 seems a nicer bet.

Lukasz

Didcot sounds like a nice idea. Always been fond of that particular area.

The layouts looking really nice. The track on the workbench and here really show a difference and are all the better for the work you've done.Will you be building another layout to fill the place of Paxton Road as something to show off the stock or will you stick with the two you have on the go at the moment? On that building is that the final colour or will it get a coat of something. Depending on age the paint on the top would stain and get mossy as well as peeling and fading?Also you should check out my blog tomorrow night to see the progress I've made on my mainline 37. It's come on rather quickly. As I mentioned before we'll have to compare them sometime.The layout looks really good in the overview pictures and makes the track plan look nice and fluid. I'm surprised by how much track there is as photos before haven't ever given away the amount of track and neither does the open feel of the layout.It's a shame about the crane because it would be a nice stand a lone feature on the layout.regards,Lukasz

That looks lovely already.

Can't wait to see more.

Lukasz

Those vans look really lovely Stroudie. The colour on the ends is especially good looking and matches well to the prototype. I like the patch painting aswell.

Lukasz

I'm not sure if you finished on the old thread but has the ews 37 been finished?

And yes that helps alot.

Lukasz

What was the donor model for the project?

Are you going to use cast bogies for the loco as you did for the dutch 37?

It looks like a really lovely piece of work.

Lukasz

This looks like a real nice open layout.

More pictures and a plan maybe?

Lukasz

Good. I need a few parts from them.

Lukasz

What is the donor model for 37675?

It seems you have acquired some nice goodies to keep you going.

Do Shawplan have their full range on display at exhibitions?

Lukasz

The bufferbeam detailing on the class 37 is looking real good.

Out of interest will you be modelling any bogie gear?

Lukasz

Good to here that James.

They do look very good.

I have a Hornby 09 in the mail on its way to me so will let you know how it compares probably in my blog.

Lukasz

They look good.

One word I would use would be uniformity.

They are all very different liveries but they all look as if they belong together.

No stupid differences between them. They look like they work together in the same place which is good.

Lukasz

I think mycomment was meant for the paxton road blog but never mind its still apllicable here.

I've been working on 37057 today.

Shes looking good.

Lukasz

What chain have you been using for the handbrake?

The Green 37411 is looking fantastic.

Really lovely. The detailing is subtlew but noticeable and well worth it. It looks great.

Lukasz

I used USB cable in the end. No need for repainting or drilling hole just used a screwdriver to make a bit of a hole to hold the superglue then fitted the black USB wire into that. I fettled the socket around a bit aswell. It needed a lick of paint and a bit of excess cut off but as you've already proved it was worth it.

I'm gonna do 37411 as the 'Scottish Railway Preservation Society'.

Will be nice to have another ews tractor.

I've already ordered one so should be carrying out the same mods.

Lukasz

Judging from the mechanics garage the stepfather owns with a few more bins for metal rubbish and maybe a bit more general clutter than scene is perfect.

It's amazing how much of a picture I can get from just the couple o drawings you've treated us to.

Lukasz

Thanks for the info. It seems to be either on the one side or perhaps removed as I couldn't seem to find it anywhere else on photos of 37411.

Lukasz

Yes I had a look and its somewhere near the 1.5mm mark.

I'm gonna have a look now.

I can't seem to find the wire to the fuel tank on any prototype shots. May I ask what it's purpose is?

Lukasz

I think that a cotton bud with the end chopped off (the cotton) melted with a hairdryer could be moulded into something similar perhaps?

I may give it a go and tell you how I find it.

Lukasz

You've prompted me to use some parts to achieve the same finish which wouldn't of appeared to me without looking at this article.

I have done the wire myself and need to find some chain and white pipe.

It looks really good. Well done. How thick is the white 08 detailing?

Thanks,

Lukasz
