Hi Dave,

It's this picture here I'd like to feature in the eMagazine.

I can't see ur picture. Di u untick "disable BBcode" in ur post?

Dave- just caught up! Great work. That wagon looks the bis! If I had money I'd love to do a wagon kit like that, especially the nuclear flask.

PS-why not to renumber a Vitrains model?

[PTmodeller]

Because any method you use, the base colour comes off before the numbers!

Been doing plenty of wiring recently, and have painted a couple of backscenes. Also done some concrete hardstanding outside the depot and sealed the river bed ready to begin modelling. Experimenting with Kadees too, and a new allocation is expected to arrive soon in the form of Freightliner Phoenix. Pictures on request.

and a new allocation is expected to arrive soon in the form of Freightliner Phoenix.

a class 57 i think if so, Bachmann or heljan

Wouldn't mind seing some updated progress pics Dave if you dont mind, and hows the cambrian wagon fleet of BAA's coming along?

[PTmodeller]

Yep, 57002. Renumbered Bachy model.

The Cambrian BAAs are frozen, they really do run appalingly. Or maybe thats my kit building skills.

Ok then, here are the pics.

The viaduct section, in progress


The Eastern backscene, temperarily fiotted


The Western backscene, needs cutting slightly and touching up


The Depot


And a fuel point, yes, the solder is authentic


Enjoy!

Not a bad state Dave, more that can be said about mine
whats the plans for the Viaduct? scracthbuilt or kit based?
BTW impressed on the concrete effect Dave, looks very smooth, whats the secret?

[PTmodeller]

Definatley scratch for the Viaduct, based on the almighty Arten Gill. The Pollifilla is actually awful, just looks smooth in the flash. But I intend to put a runny coat on top to get smooth

[Metrocamel]

Awesome work Dave, especially the viaduct! Also like the moss on teh roof of the fuelling point.

Perhaps this is obvious, but have you tried youre locos under that roof? I waited till I'd glued mine in to do so because I thought Knightwing might be sensable enough to make it high enough for a loco. I ended up having to add metal pipe extensions at the base of each leg. I guess you'll have tested it already but just wanted to give you the heads up.

I can get a rubber over the rail tops? But for that area, Meths on a cotton bud works well too. Good idea with the Solder, will definatley try that...

Liam
You're right. Need to get some .45mm inside diameter Brass Tube ASAP!

River Bed undergoing Waterproof Testing- stops the resin leaking.


Depot area, a rare view. It's CLEAN!

[Metrocamel]

Like the diamond crossings. Unfortunately couldn't find the excuse to put any on my layout.

[PTmodeller]

Better than that, Double Slips! You can go anywhere on them, Thanks again for them Bryan Grundy.

[Metrocamel]

I don't trust double slips since I almost wrecked my 158. All those points...

[PTmodeller]

The river is NOT waterproof...
