Humbrol color like sleeper grime?
Alcanman replied to Derrick23's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
I have been using Humbrol enamel track colour no 173 for many years and very happy with the results. -
Rotating axle box covers - a good or bad thing?
Alcanman replied to NoelG's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Just have a look over at the Hattons Class 66 thread. Numerous reports of the axlebox covers falling off and also causing running issues. Hattons have responded by producing a video showing how to glue them back on! However, I did have a couple of HO Scaletrains tank cars which had axlebox covers and the worked fine and looked good. -
Added some low relief bushes behind the stone wall. There not glued in place and could be removed but I think they add depth to the scene.

Yesterday I built a stone wall along the back of the depot using 9mm MDF covered with Wills 'dressed stone'. The coping on top of the wall is Ratio platform edging.

Looks like an interesting project, I liked your last layout Lynchwood sidings. I built my Tees Yard WRD layout in a simllar size space to your project.
-
Thanks. The bushes are made from seamoss trees covered with Noch leaves.

Finished detailing the oil storage siding. I decided to keep the low relief warehouse as it looked OK.

Plenty of copies of the May issue in my local ASDA today.

Working on the oil storage siding, I've added hard standing and piping. The low relief warehouse is probably just temporary.
-
Thanks. Your comments are much appreciated.

The yard office and portakabin have been bedded in place and a few details added. I don't think those workers on the left are observing current 'safe distance' rules! The office is very similar to this structure at Tyne Yard.
-
Love all the detailing work around the depot. Great work!
-
Added more hard standing, a walk way between the servicing shed and fuelling point and a few small details items.

A couple of pics to show the current overall progress at Ashtown TMD. To add a little operating variety, wagons are occaisonally brought into the siding at the front of the layout. Today 47727 arrives will a couple of ZDAs loaded with ballast

I've just watched your video. Thanks for posting. After reading over 100 pages of posts here, I'm pleased someone has been brutally honest. Like many modellers, I was delighted when this model was announced, particularly when Legomanbiffo were providing the sound. Such a shame, superb detailing and sound let down by so many QC issues. I certiainly wouldn't touch one with a bargepole and it'll be interesting to see what happens when they eventually start appearing on e-bay. Buyer beware!

Well it looks like the North Blyth - Tees Yard coal has had a stay of execution. DB 66149 again providing power on Monday 30th March. This morning DB 66117 is at Newsham with the Tees Yard - North Blyth coal empties.

After much deliberation, I decided to use the warehouse but add some overgrown bushes and security fencing to the space between the oil storage tanks and the road overbridge.
-
Today, I've been thinking about what to use to fill in background areas of the layout. Originally, I planned a small line of trees between the road overbridge and the oil storage tanks. However, I placed a couple of low relief warehouses and quite like the results, so I may go with this.
