Whilst ive been waiting for paint and glue to dry i have been making progress on the 950 unit. using the bachmann 150 model with the PH Designs etched part set. Its taken a lot of work to get to the stage that it is here as some of the etches are either slightly too samll or in some cases too big. A lots of filing, sanding and filling to hit this point in the photos.

I've also been building one of these.This is the cambrin SR Dance Hall brake van that had the additional end parts added to make it into the ballast van version. I'm currenlty looking for some different buffers for it as the plastic kit ones look a bit over nurished on the buffer heads.

Here is the finshed article with a bit of weathering added. I've also added some instantor couplings and some pipes from a hornby accessory pack, when they sold them separately. I've added some instantor couplings and some pipes from a hornby accessory pack, when they sold them separately

I realy do need to remember to take more photos as I'm building kits as I always seam to miss stages. Here is the Engine carrier after the black has been added and the transfers are being added. Hope I'm not boring you all with all this flicking between things.

After a bit of masking up, And once it had had a coat of Olive Green paint.

There were few of them so expect they got all over. I was enager to get the ZRA built and done that I didn't take any photos of it during construction. Will have to remedy that when I do the next one. So here it is in the spary booth after a coat of primer along with the L&YR van.

Made start on this recently First thing was to remove the NEM coupling box at each end.

IMG_9932.MOV We had a good time at Preston. Had one of my new rakes running. still a couple of bits to add but it looked good on the layout, if i dont say so my self.

After GETS we had a bit of time off as we exhibitied the other trainset till June and then we had a trip north to Paisley for the Scottish Festival of Railway modeling and w may have had a bit of fun.....

After a bit of time applying glue tothe tissue, I got it to this point and let it dry for a few days.

Has it really been that long since i posted up about the big trainset. Well, we survived GETs in 2024 and had a bit of intrest in the layout... We also gave a few new bits of stock a run out as well.

The van has progressed and now has the roof and has the start of the planksing on the opening section. For the canvas cover, I decided to use some of the tissue paper that came in another kit wrapped round the etches, which to mee looks about right and allows it to be moulded to the roof section.

Hello all, So we are taking the layout out to the Macclesfield exhibtion in April and with it only being 82 days before we load the van up, I thought I would pop a photo up from our last trip out to Railex last May before i startred the prep work on the layout for April. Have few things to sort out, from getting the tall depot lights to work and fettling a couple of the points that were begining to stick a little, along with some more stock. One new item that made it to Railex was the ZCV 'Crab' ballast wagon. Which spent most of the weekend at the show in that position.
