No Waiting

Today I created these "No Waiting" signs and placed them around the layout.

 If you can't quite read them,this is the original sign.

Stop-Go Boards

A few days ago I made a pair of stop/go boards. 

I have fixed them to a couple of operatives and placed them either side of the roadworks scene. ⛏

Keith

Notice Boards Part 2

3 more noticeboards made and fitted on the layout this morning.

Considering the noticeboard on the back of the station building is actually on the back side of it, not a bad guess at getting it level!

In the village.

On the pub wall.

Mini Class 37 Part 7

The mini Class 37 only needs some transfers to finish it off.

Whistles & Safety Valves

This morning I fitted whistles and safety valves to these 4 locos. 😊 

Unfortunately not enough room on the Peco James on the left for a pair of valves. 😞

Mini Class 37 Part 6

Much happier with the repaint of the mini Class 37, I have brush painted it this time with BR loco green, looks a lot better. 

Leaving it overnight to dry before removing the painting stick and painting the cab insides.

I then fitted them around the layout.

Mini Class 37 Part 4

Recently I have been suffering with my back, last couple of days it had started to improve, but this morning it decided to kick back in, so I have been taking it easy.

I have however removed what looked like chevrons on the front doors of the mini Class 37.

Keith

Mini Class 37 Part 3

I wasn't very happy with the result of the spraying of the mini 37 in it's top coat green, it looked really rough.

So overnight I soaked it in methylated spirits, to strip off the painted and started again by respraying it in primer.

Roadworks Safety Barriers

Yesterday I assembled the new works safety barriers and started painting them. 

This morning I finished painting them and have put some of them out on the roadworks near the farm.

Keith

Mini Class 37 Part 2

Coat of Brunswick green paint applied this morning.

Keith

Mini Class 37

Today I spray primered the mini Class 37 loco.

It is a cut-down version of the standard gauge Class 37 still in operation on our railways today.

It should make for an interesting addition to my loco stock.

Keith

Small Saddle Tank Loco Part 3

Today I fitted a working chassis to the James loco I have been working on recently.

Very pleased with the result considering when I bought the kit I was going to have it as a static model.

Keith

No Waiting Cones

Yesterday I painted the "no waiting" cones and applied the transfers.

This morning I put them along the towpath-side of Church Road.

Enough Box Vans

I think I have enough box vans of various sorts now.

3 Smaller Narrow Gauge Insul-fish Wagons Part 3

This morning I sprayed white the 3 smaller Insul-fish vans.

This afternoon, once they were dry, I painted the roofs and under-frames, made and fitted the couplings, fitted the wheels, then finally this afternoon I applied the transfers to these 3 vans.

I also applied the transfers to the original larger Insul-fish van.

All 4 finished Insul-fish vans.
