RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 1, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2015 you managed to get a fork lift then.. It was transferred from Exford Park. I still need to get a couple more at some point though, and yes plenty of red paint left, doesn't it look NSE enough yet then?? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Ok I'll pop to my local shop and see if there's any left. Any excuse to pop in. I think it looks very NSE.. you need some of the digital clocks on the platform though. Edited March 1, 2015 by pitbull1845 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdw7300 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Cracking shots Ian. Love the warehouse and pallet loads. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted March 1, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2015 Have you thought about using 150gsm paper for the slates? Print off a grid (I use Excel), cut upwards each column for 1.5 rows, trim off two rows, glue to roof, repeat until you reach the top, paint with watercolour or acrylic, job done. Probably a bit more effort than using Slaters but they look better and it costs pennies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 1, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2015 If you know how to get emulsion off and safely disconnect it I know where there's a real NSE red clock, on the wall in our box! Electricians tried to remove it when it died but they couldn't figure out where the power was coming from so left it and it then got painted over. Looking very NSE mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melangoose Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Progress looks good. I think it will be one of the most viewed layouts at the Wimborne Exhibition (next month). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscleveland Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hi Ian kept this secret looks good coming on nicely you will have to pop over and look at Ropley again and we can also sort out possibly getting tidworth an invite to Basingstoke Chris 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I can confirm that the Tidworth Two have been purchased, one of which is in NSE red.... Which is handy.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Ian, no need to apologise, I also liked them in that livery. Much preferred the original NSE livery, I liked the way the stripes went up at the ends, it really suited locos in my opinion. I quite fancy one in that livery myself! I think this lovely machine would look rather splendid at Tidworth: 50018 at Hereford,7-8-1988 by railhereford, on Flickr I really like the warehouse and pallet loads, looks really good. You really have made great progress in a year, well done a cracking layout. Wish I could progress at your pace! Keep up the good work Sir. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Ian, The layout is looking very good, The detail is really coming on well. I must agree with Alex that the older style NSE livery does look very good on the class 50. Best of luck with the first Exhibition I am sure it will go fine, and don't worry about the layout not being finished it already looks better than some I have seen at shows over the years. Best advise I can give you for the show is clean all your wheels before you go, take your time setting up and get it as level as you can. Get your joins lined up and give the track a good clean. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 3, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2015 It's looked exhibitable for some time now and it'll just keep getting better as the details are added. Reminds me I need to dig out the cmx and trix wheel cleaning units for Lulworth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nice shots indeed. Particularly like the Dutch 33/1. Is the red platform "bus shelter" from the Bachmann range? I bought one for North Street mail-order and was gutted to find it was blue! Couldn't be bothered to mask it up and respray, so made do with a 1970s concrete shelter instead. It all looks excellent. Good luck for next month (not long now). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub39h Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Love your layout and rolling stock! I love the 50 in original NSE as well - think it looks great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 7, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 7, 2015 Is the red platform "bus shelter" from the Bachmann range? Hi Pete yes its the Bachmann one. An afternoon in front the football on TV spent cutting the masking tape and then a couple of coats of NSE red with a brush job done, but notice there's only one! The second will appear on Leaford at some point. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Gutted I couldn't make the play day, Did the modern stock make it to Tidworth (obviously not the 2 full FGW HST's!) Nice set of photos, and I think the dutch 33 stabled looks great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning fella definitely a shame you missed out and no the FGW stuff didn't make Tidworth although a 33/4TC combo did and will be hanging around for a while. You must find a date before Wimborne to get a driving lesson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnington Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Superb pics! Shame I couldn't make it, need to get some driving lessons in also! Cheers Arnie Edited March 7, 2015 by Arnington Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparxD428 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi Ian, Layout progressing really well, but what has happened with the Motive Power. Has it become Sulzer city? though I do like the shove duff a la 1989. Hoping to try and get down to Wimborne if i'm not on call that weekend for its debut. Cheers,Stu.
