Quite the collection amassing

Much appreciated

Barracks Street is now on YouTube. You can follow the progress of the layout throughout the build. Hope you enjoy. Chris

Thanks very much rob
-
Yes, it is my hope when completed that I will take it to exhibitions
-
Progress continues on the scenery and is nearing a stage of completion that I'm happy with in this area of the layout. Your thoughts and comments are as always appreciated.

help! Removing paint from MIR resin kits?
Dempsey replied to tonybonneyba's question in Questions & Answers
One of the strippers I use does state that it can be used on resin however I have never used it on such a surface. I'll include a link for you to make your own determination. https://eirehobbies.com/products/paint-remover-240-ml?_pos=1&_sid=53296aa35&_ss=r -
IRrailways offer a weathering service for all locomotives ranging from faint to heavy. To the customers own requirements. Below are a few examples. DM for enquiries and pricing.

I'll try go back and find the article for you @DJ Dangerous. But just to clarify my position, I think technology like this would be of more benefit as like I have stated we would be converting various vehicles already in existence environmentally.
-
I'm not saying hydrogen is the answer but I think in this age we can create a fuel to use in a combustion engine that would produce zero emissions, using vehicles already in existence without spending six times more emissions to build an EV, hybrid waste of time
-
Plus we don't have the power generation ability as a nation to supply the draw of power required to charge an electric vehicle for everyone. It would be the ultimate recycling or green eco friendly or insert term here move to use and convert modes of transport that have already been produced.
-
I think this is deadly. Instead of all that EV nonsense which cost more to produce in emissions then regular combustion the likes of conversion of regular engine to fuels like these will help offset the emissions they have already produced over their lifetime. Jcb has done similar tests and proof of concept work themselves. Plus it would be a true testament to these locomotives if they served the network past 100

Thank you. As I've said many times the buildings and now the bridge has been the must enjoyable part of it all and it has to be said a challenge given I'm working off video
-
Thanks Rob, it's great to finally run some trains again
-
High praise indeed. Just need to build up the courage to program it
-
Cause sometimes you just want to run trains. 20230904_105644.mp4 20230904_105935.mp4

The curtains were actually in place right up until the yard closed.

The scene continues to slowly develop. Here no.156 carries out some shunting of a loaded container flat. More weathering and scenery work will follow but for now this is the only part of the layout to get any due to working around the bridge supports themselves. Your thoughts and comments as always are appreciated. Chris

Thank you very much. A lot of screen shoots were taken which has allowed me to pick out a lot of those details
-
A few details remain but for the most paint I'm delighted with how it all turned out. Your thoughts as always are appreciated.

Exactly as DJ pointed out it is how it was in the reference video I'm using. The left side would appear to have been for a long since removed line.
-
Phase one of the bridge is complete and ready for painting. I've been using the fert for clearance testing as it is the tallest wagon but also tried it with container loaded flats. Phase two will see the decline of the road down off the bridge to ground level. Your thoughts as always are appreciated.
-
It did take a while but worth it in the result
-
Actually didn't think of that. No I scored down the back of it every couple of CM and just gently started bending it around.
-
I'm grateful there is only one. It was a torture to curve.
