P.C.M Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Phil, Thats a nice little kit, I took this picture when I was over last month, might be of some use. It's just off the platform at the old homestead, Sway. Cheers Peter. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Peter Thanks - and spot on - just the kind of look I was after. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 What do you think? Perhaps a bit more grime? And yes I've had my '56s out for a play. Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 looks good not so much more grime, but more vegetation i reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Today I've been test running the shunting options of the new track layout and havning much fun - as you saw from the previous photo, the 56's came out of the box and I'm shortly expecting the transfer of a Freightliner shunter from Stafford Central. All good news, apart from I'm now questioning the point of the second helix.... I'm not going to make any hasty decisions on it - after all look what trouble this has got me into in the past - and not only in the modelling world! I also did some tidying up in the basement and found a load of other interesing kits I've purchased over the years but never made, so might make these projects over the winter.

Or cash to fund what you need now I seem to have aquired quite a few too, sold well on evilbay too, (even made the ebay madness topic as they couldn't believe what someone bid).

P.C.M Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Phil, I think the hut looks pretty good, though a bit more foliage wouldn't go a miss, maybe sprinkle on a bit of the lighter stuff on over the darker bushes. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty11 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 the building looks good, i like the 56s and the 60 in shot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Just back from the local model shop where I went to pick up some insulated rail jointers, to complete the new track laying, but came out with a few extras.... One can never have too many hopper wagons, and I've now got an odd number, as recommended by Pitbull. Looks like Freightliner are about to be ousted from the depot by EWS for a bit.

shanks522 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Looking very nice phil, great collection of wagons. I do hope you continue with the second helix as i think it will look nice having trains disappear down the gradient whilst you shunt the yard etc. Cheers Graham.

alex98 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 That's never stopped me before! I agree, but Factory lane is clogged up enough with only 7 locos and 14 wagons, and I'm not done yet... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Evening all. Bridge construction tonight. The two outer spans are Peco pre-formed and the centre is a Wills kit - with extra struts in between the plates. Not sure if to have the 'standard' lorry and bus on the bridge or just bring the backboard forwards to behind the bridge wall. Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex98 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Not sure if to have the 'standard' lorry and bus on the bridge or just bring the backboard forwards to behind the bridge wall. Hi Phil, I like your bridge a lot and might have to "borrow" the construction method I reckon that it would look a little strange to have the backboard right up against the bridge. Having the lorries on it makes it look more believable and also adds a little extra depth to the scene. Also the trucks mean that you don't need to worry about the join between the scenic area and tha backboard!!! Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Also the trucks mean that you don't need to worry about the join between the scenic area and tha backboard!!! Thanks Alex Although I will have to 'lay' some tarmac. I remember seeing one layout - can't remember which one, where they'd even done the camber on the road!

alex98 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 they'd even done the camber on the road! That might be a bit over the top for a road that might hardly be seen!!! Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
