P.C.M Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Nice looking depot this Andy, I thought you had a few class 33's did you sell them? Hi Rich, Pretty sure the Cromptons only went as far as York on the cement working. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were also known to potter along the North Wales line. They were 31/4 so the super slow ones. Was on a train hauled by one once. We crawled along to the next station then sped up a bit after that. Asked the driver why the improved performance and he said he’d turned off the ETH. You really only do need one on any layout... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Cheers Guys for all the likes and comments etc. Today I decided to do some Electonikery, so, I've wired in the Yard Lights and the two Depot Sheds, all 3 are on separate switches as the Yard Lights will only be on when evening running or dark days. The Sheds are on small plugs so can be removed if required. 13 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob, I noticed that looking at many pics of REAL Depots, but looking at many Layouts at shows, both Depot Lights, and Street lights seem to be on even when Layouts are lit from above like Wembley Stadium, which does seem a bit ridiculous at times. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Did a little today after several NONE RAILWAY related jobs. I covered the embankment with Masking Tape and PVA, followed by a final coat of PVA with some Green Acrylic Paint for an under colour, I will mix Brown with the PVA when I start the flocking. I then Air Brushed the Track, but I had already ballasted the back siding before remembering to do the Rail Sides, so this is where I am at Teatime. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Although I used them on my Steam Stock, (mainly Tender end only) I prefer them on Diesel's. When I had Glen Roy, Loch Leven, Fiddlers Yard and Deesdale Road on the Exhibition Circuit many none modellers were amazed that I could uncouple and push stock back to wherever I wanted. and with the settings set up right, I hardly ever needed to get off my Stool, (High Chair). They get my vote Mike. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) And then a good 3 Hours in TOPS whilst the Good Lady was watching the Soaps and other related / unrelated TV garbage I managed to Ballast the Layout, it will be toned down once dry tomorrow, (I hope). May do the Grass / Foliage on the embankments tomorrow. Edited May 15, 2019 by Andrew P add words 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martin, certainly NOT rushing, in fact yesterday I sat in the conservatory for more hours than I spent in the Shed. I will do a little more today, but may move on to Seven Mills Sidings tomorrow and do a little more on there for a complete change of scene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
