Needs a bit of a trim, IMHO.

Is it a Juniper bush? Will it bring forth Juniper berries?

Well, thats pretty much all of the track cut roughly to length. Final trimming/bending will be done when the track is actually laid. 

 

Here is where we are thus far.

Ah Great a new layout arriving soon.

Just caught up with this excellent news, time to change my notification setting to every post and clog up my inbox but small price to pay not to miss anything from Abroad. (Cardiff is abroad)!) 

Looking good Rob will enjoy seeing this come together.

on another note S22 0-6-0 T Accurascale ? Nowt there? From a post a page or 2 back?

Cheers….

No he's not. They are honorary Beattie Well Tanks and honorary 02's. Used by the Southern at Wadebridge before the xxxxx xxxxxxx came and ruined it.

Is there an app which having deleted the pannier, substitutes it with a J15, or better still an E4? Just introducing a bush really doesn’t cut it 😊

You'd need to upgrade to PannGone Pro😉

Just catching up with this Thread, and ended up spluttering in my morning g&t!! Never mind the Naughty Corner - off to The Tower with him!! I've never seen such blatant insubordination before!! What's the Army coming to, these days??!! Pah!

 

Now I'll have to get my Butler to pour me a fresh g&t. Ah well, every cloud....

Well, track laid and wiring in. Playing........cough....ahem....extensive testing has thus far not found any dramas to behold and it does rather appear to be quite the engaging little layout. Just right for a bit of impromptu shunting of an evening. 

 

 

Adding the ground cover next.

What a beautiful medley of rolling stock - though B4s are naturally my weak point, and I really would love to get a 2nd one (think I'd better wait till I have a layout to run them on, first, though!). As you say, the track plan, and small size thereof, looks to make a very capable and enjoyable shunting puzzle - perfect as a distraction tool in this modern world.

P.S. I must thank you for earlier tutorials of the use of weathering powders. Whilst I haven't really been quite so judicial with my use of them, early experiments have proven it to be an incredibly quick, low-risk, and simple way to transform models!

Morning Jamie, 

 

Lovely to see you. Glad to have offered some inspiration to such an inspirational modeller. I only wish I had your skill at creating those wonderful scenes you do so well.  Sandy Shores remains an all time favourite of mine. 

The B4 is a lovely little loco......though it actually isn't, little that is. They're a bit of a bruiser of an 0.4.0T, as you know and have a bit of presence. 

 

This layout won't be company or ( hopefully ) location specific so we will see pre-grouping stock as well as early Southern stock pottering about the place. I'm toying with building a second, identical layout to this but using it for my small number of Italian locos and wagons, hence the 'need' forca completely different layout. Should I do so, then I'll definitely be cribbing from Sandy Shores as I think your lovely pastel colour palette would really suit the theme. 

 

Anyways, I shall potter on with this one for now and look forward to catching up with you at SWAG....

 

Rob.

Funny things, B4's.  One seems to have landed here, as it was the last one Hattons had and I didn't want to disappoint them.  Bargain £150.

 

Currently it is a rather un-fetching shade of brown lined red and named Caen, it may or may not remain brown but will become the NCB's shunter Ruby, as it is my Ruby Wedding Present. Oh, it's reet big too - 7mm scale!
