No worries, will have a look. I have done similar with mine. Will see what I have got, I think they originally came with small and large loads.

All very interesting, what else is in the back catalogue. Buses suitable for the 80's/90's would be interesting.

I'll be back on wagons this week, but we've got a project in to refurbish a layout , first jobs for me will be buildings while my mate works on the electrics. I've cleaned up one warehouse, but the other really needed a complete repaint. First jobs we're a general clean followed by a dusting of redoxcide primer. Second job is starting to paint in the details. Roof and roller shutters painted a silvery colour, lintels in a stone colour and bricks picked out in brown. Next jobs are sealing and pointing before starting to add details back on. Other buildings progressing are for out new layout. Foam board structure clad in LCut Creative panels. These will hopefully come alive as the paint goes on.

Do you need some? I may have some spares but will have to check.

Its actually artificial light, its part of the lighting rig on our Dovedale layout. I couldn't tell you to be honest, its actually a friend of a friends layout with my wagons and someone else's loco. My friend is just storing it for a while which gives us a nice little back drop to take pictures on and I was quite pleased with the angle on this one. I am told its called 'Cwm Rhiw' and is based in the Valleys.

Somewhere in the Welsh Valley's 37674 plies its trade with a rake of HEA's.

Seems the engineers have been working overtime this weekend with the WRD full of HEA's getting attention. In all seriousness I have been plugging away at the HEA fleet in between other jobs this weekend. 2x Brown HBA's and 1x Brown HEA I think are complete and two RF wagons ostensibly complete. Just need to touch in some of the black paint and add transfers. Should have said I have been trialling some of @James Makin's weathering methods of paint on/wipe off on these, I am quite pleased with the results.

As the boss is out tonight I decided to stage a few shots in the garden: 'Leaves on the Line'.

Only just come across this, loving the CFD 20 & Mr Prior, blast from the past there!

I most instances I would agree, but there are many different sizes forklift out there!

Next three HEA's on the WB. should have another 5 this week.

You could always try the 1:50 SIKU forklift. I have one but not got a pic handy.

Good ta. WRD is on the back burner a little right now as the baseboard for it hasn't been made yet! Once I have these HEA's done and a few other bits it will come back onto the WB to be completed. I've picked up various bits to start populating it.

Stagged 26005 and first few HEA's having had work done.

Further work on the HEA's and brake van this afternoon.

Hattons are knocking out the blue and yellow industrials for £249 atm and its post free. Yellow one is probably the best bet. Mask off the wasp stripes and a can or BR blue and you're away.

Tonight's progress, two more HEA's started, rubbed back the red and logo's with 400grit sand paper: Also made a start on my CAR brakevan, though I am not 100% happy with it so far, but I will recover it!

Shoal of Turbots off the WB this evening. Booked on a trip to Cam's WB for final airbrushing to bring everything together and three Catfish now return to the WB for finishing.

Going to have to try and pop in at some point. I swung past yesterday afternoon on my way to the Station not realising the alternative opening hours. Been a few years since I had the opportunity!

I bought a load of sheets of slaters stuff the other week and I am going to have to work out who I bought it off as its virtually unusable. you barely have to put a knife near it and bits start flying off. Never had this issue before.

And my first two HEA's in progress.

And the second one on the go. 360004 again takes inspiration from the actual wagon on Paul's site, this time faded with white powder and thinners. Still think the chassis on all of these should really be black.

This week I have been mostly....... trying to get stuff off the WB. These three Dogfish have been my main priority this week in between Turbots (which are also now well on the way). I seem to have found some motivation again finally! All started as black pre TOPs versions. One completely re-painted and the other two renumbered and weathered. Still a little bit to do but I am happy with them.

Sunday Ballast with 37156 in charge. See my WB thread for some better pix of the weathered Dogfish.

Humbrol 200. I bought it for doing a faded VAA but have never got round to it!
