Signaller69 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 That middle shot of the class 40 could almost be at Chester! Very nice Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westerner Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Peter did you scratch-build the brick arch canopy supports in the second photo or are they kit bashed Wills. I'm thinking of having something similar on the top level of Louville Lane separating the passenger traffic from the parcels bay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some look better than others, not sure I would do it again. Cheers Peter. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 108 class DMU works a local service from Bangor past the carriage sidings and oil terminal. 97407 ex 40012 is very much on borrowed time as it arrives at Llanbourne on a loaded ballast.

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted November 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2017 Looking good as always Peter. The comments on Mermaids have convinced me now is not the time to indulge! Yours look superb but there's just no space to set up a workbench here and I really don't fancy tackling something which you have described as " a pain" with nothing more than an angle-poise lamp and a cutting mat on the computer desk. Once work settles down I might try to get along to Twickenham MRC and see what they can offer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fancy doing a wagon kit try a Parkside kit they go together really well. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted November 25, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hi Peter Starting with South Western next week as a despatcher at Clapham Junction. That'll keep me on my toes. Weekday morning peaks only (officially anyway) so plenty of hobby time. Just not the space to do anything here. I'll grab a Parkside kit sometime soon and see what i can make of it though. Cheers Rick 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted November 25, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2017 If only I had six feet in any direction! The only possible space for a baseboard is an L-shape roughly 180cm x 70cm. Size isn't everything - but it matters! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) It's been a while since my last post but I have been doing a few bits and pieces though not much. Bif has helped me sort the sound in my class 33 and a reblow for 47636 has made it sound heaps better with plenty of thrash. 33202 leaves Llanbourne for Cardiff. 47636 gets the power down as it leaves on a TPO train. Merry Christmas All Cheers Peter. Edited December 23, 2017 by P.C.M 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Peter Beckett Posted December 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hi Peter, Both the 33 and 47 sound OK now. I have installed the semaphore for the station down road and removed the colour light signal. The semaphore is interlocked with the down loop and operates and looks much better. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Peter 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
