carlw Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Here is 4 from me then. I do have more from this exhibition but unfortunately the camara i was using at the time was new and wasnt very good at focusing in low light. so most of the pics have focused on the background. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlw Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Paul, Are you aware of these 2 videos on Youtube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q9WPKkcFXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvKxerZNtyo Carl 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Carl, Thanks for the links. I am confused by the first as it contains footage from a never completed video I was making. It is a long time ago but I can't remember how this has come about. Both very interesting. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Final grounded van now completed, had to get some acriylic varnish to go over the transfers before weathering. Used my usual method of water colours for weathering. Pleased with how it came out. Side1. Side 2. I might have to reduce the bushes etc on the layout to make this one more visable once resited. Cheers. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf315 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Looks good that Paul, what colours of Acrylics are you using ? thanks Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Looks good that Paul, what colours of Acrylics are you using ? thanks Steve Steve, I didn't make myself clear. I used acrylic matt varnish because the "COND" transfer was from Railtec. Weathering was standard water colours in tubes, these were Ivory black and Vandyke brown. The body was in Humbrol Enamels one brown for the ends and metal strapping, another for the sides with red brown patches another brown. It was close to the prototype pics I have for my period.

The Bigbee Line Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I was going to comment on the second picture of the various grounded bodies: M-080 TWY 18-3-90.jpg Are these flower beds made using the tops of 'iron ore tipplers'?

Ernie, Yes you are correct about the iron ore tippers, I think I used old MTK plastic kits for this. These are an unusal use of grounded bodies. Clive, I had not modelled the patio of troughing lids, I might be able to do part of this as I remodel this area. Cheers. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bigbee Line Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Paul, Have you modelled this pulley? I thought you had. In case you missed it, it's the pulley, that worked with the winch to move wagons in the cripple road. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you missed it, it's the pulley, that worked with the winch to move wagons in the cripple road. TWY Pulley.jpg Ernie, I was not aware of this, but suspect it had been removed. I will look back at my photos which start from 1989. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I had a few weeks sorting other jobs, but am now back modelling. I took the warped board down to see if I could repair it. But there is no easy fix, so I lifted a section of the mainlines that had caused a problem by peaking at the baseboard join and slowing certain trains. The board had not got worse since it happened for the last few years of shows (layout over 25 years old now!). Repaired damaged baseboard join rails soldered to screws where they had cracked (26). Refitted this afternoon. Awaiting test running in a few days time. View of lifted section. Another view. Conrail sections have been repaired where Peco pots had been damaged. Various scenic repairs done and some additionial items made and painted ready for fitting. The sand store grounded wagon body refitted, jack store ready to fit. Will be removing backscene boards next week to sand down and repaint. Cheers. Edited March 28, 2015 by Lyddrail 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Ernie, I blocked a shot on goal by my foot playing hockey on Saturday, went to Ally Pally yesterday, and have gone lame today! Working on scenic details in the modelling room to rest my foot. Strangly I have some working possession markerboards situated on the mainline towards the footbridge in the right position for the current lifted track. When I get power back on the layout I will take some pics. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
