    After getting plastered, we get stoned. Cheers Darius

    Base colours applied. Once this is dry, rather a lot of spoil and gravel needs to be affixed. Cheers Darius

    Now running on the new (under construction) layout. Cheers Darius

    Hot wire cutter used to sculpt the polystyrene. Then we get plastered. The slope at the right hand end is too steep so I’ll re-profile it later. Re-profiled. Cheers Darius

    Scenic element made from expanded polystyrene packaging and card stock for the roadway. I’ll let the glue set overnight and then sculpt it with a hot wire cutter. Cheers Darius

    MED now running nicely. Added pickups to the trailing bogie of the power car to improve things. Cheers Darius

    Modified another OD Land Rover. Cheers Darius

    Modified Oxford Diecast Land Rover using thin plasticard. Still need to add outer mesh screen to windscreen and touch in head and tail lamps - plus number plates. Cheers Darius

    And the 80 Class is now operational. Cheers Darius
  20. Darius43
    Dusted down the 70 Class for a run. I added pick ups to the trailing bogie of the power car to prevent gapping at the insulated frogs. Cheers Darius

    My first and only main line steam trip in Ireland was from York Road to Whitehead and back in 1978, hauled by one of those two locos - not sure which but I recall it was green. Cheers Darius

    Power bus installed below the baseboards with feeds to each length of flexitrack soldered to the undersides of the rails. Found one short due to one of the turnout frog rails not having an insulated joiner - fixed. Running fine on DCC. Cheers Darius

    Planning to use the same technique to build the station buildings and canopy for “Whiterock”. Cheers Darius

    Hi Leslie, I used 2mm and 1mm thick card stock for the main structure and roof along with thinner card (photo print paper). For the cabin glazing I used clear acetate sheet (Ratio kit packaging). I used Ratio windows to make the large glazed units to the frame room. Cheers Darius
