You could print them on waterslide decal paper its glossy paper just cut round your prints put them on whatever you want and dab with water the paper is easy to use just like the tattos you get that you wet and they stick

Good Luck

Right... some much needed pics of my new stock (not really much REAL progress going on at the moment :shock: ) Also the huge boom in buying activity has come to an end, since im back in college and no longer making any money (whoops!)

However, pics of some new additions - namely my 225 set (for £18 i might add, including 91, DVT & 2 coaches albeit one was a bit run-down)

Stupidly ive only taken pictures of the driving car... blame my blatent arty-fartyness with the camera :P

Image

Image

Image

Unfortunately the lack of buffers at the driving end detracts from the appearance, but that'll be sorted out soonish (any donors?)

Also, my growing TTA rake now numbers 8 wagons (with 3 Grey Shell tankers still somewhere in the post!)

Image

Also, my first sub-sector HAA coal hopper has arrived, not all too photogenic on its own so not really worth a picture! (It can be seen in the video though ;))

In other news, wagon detailing & modification will begin on arrival of my waterslide transfer paper, which should come soon. Expect an accompanying article to serve as a step-by-step walkthrough.

Also, a lovely video for your perusal!

Image

comments appreciated

cheers lads! :D

Layout and all stock now for sale

PM me offers, they'll be hitting ebay soon

I'd prefer if someone would collect the layout itself, for obvious reasons :D

Willing to sell stock and layout seperately.

Since I'm selling up i thought I'd give it a good clean, and take some fresh pictures for potential buyers to lust over!

So here we go, lust away!

Image
Everything removable, after being treated to a much-needed bath

Image
Layout mid-clean

Image
Deserted

Image
Moody

Image
Station area, complete with a ludicrous amount of spare axles.

Image
The valley area, the lighting really gives this one life. Stunning IMO

Image
Looking down from the top

Image
Girder bridge

Image
Crossing area

Image
Empty sidings

Image
The crashed wagon scenario, showing it veering off course

Image
Another angle, showing the debris

Image
Station car park with custom-made platform access

Image
Close-up of the tunnels and crossings

Image
One of the hidden tunnels

Image
Control for the two inner loops, the white diagram on each one shows which loop it controls. You can also see switched for the building lighting and the electronic track cleaners.

Image
Control for the outer figure-8 loop

Image
The inclined tunnel mouth on the far side

Image
Class 31 pulls out with matching HAA's

Image
The now full sidings, sporting several TTA's

Image
More TTA's at the station. Another great shot.

Image
Class 91 navigates the valley area

Image
Class 31 over the crossings

Image
And past the signal...

Image
Intercity fast in pursuit

Image
At the station

Image
The main station area

Image
And the 225 stationed, showing off the interior lighting

Image
And finally a blurry over-view showing the overall layout as best i could (space permitting)

And finally finally a couple of videos for your perusal :)

Image
