rob D2 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Now it's got a bit lighter. I've been hired out to the competition today. A rather chilly and gloomy Small Heath yard with 66083 unloading stone from Mountsorrel. image.jpeg Finished at dinner time so maybe some modelling time later if I'm not too Kn*ckered. HaHa Small Heath.....is that Birmingham ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted February 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2017 Now it's got a bit lighter. I've been hired out to the competition today. A rather chilly and gloomy Small Heath yard with 66083 unloading stone from Mountsorrel. My god isn't it sacrilege to be hired to the red team? Despite the fact that I worked for them its not something I admit in public .. oh, oops! Good to see inter-company assistance in this day and age however, and the customer got his train. Layout is coming on Marcus, that fencing looks superb. Looking forward to the arrival of my centre-headcode Railfreight red-stripe 37 in a few weeks time once Heljan release them in O gauge! Those pics of 37678 at Peak Dale show me what I'm missing! Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sounds like a VERY good day out mate. Hi Andy Yep it was a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Marcus 37 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) I suppose I better put up some modelling pictures as I have actually been doing a bit. I've made up some crash barriers for along side the quarry road to stop any errant diggers crashing onto the track. Once again made up from various profiles of plastistruct. Having made them up and painted them over the last few days I've added them to the layout this afternoon. I've also starting to add some weeds around the track as well. A couple of pictures below.

As I started in BR days I've still got my free travel. We stopped in a Premier Inn in Carlisle the night before. It's an early start for me for the Anglias as I need to catch the 05:19 out of New Street and change at P'boro. Get to Norwich at 09:13. Determined to find that damn book. As I say I've had it since 1995 and it's the stay at home copy. Really miffed as to where it's got to. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
