Hi Tony, Painting by hand is fine, on my Campbell Riverside layout I used Humbrol rust enamel whish I diluted a bit with white spirit. The main thing to be aware of is to take care around the points especially where the switch blades make contact with he rails.
As others have said, make sure you are happy with all the electrics first before any ballasting or scenic work.

Hi all, Here are my first two examples of weathered 40' box cars for Campbell Riverside. This is my first attempt at weathering rolling stock, I will do a few more wagons before I attempt some loco's
Regards, John
Great work, The footbridge at Llangollen has always fascinated me. Quite often stop of there when I visit the UK. Looking forward to seeing your layouts at Wexford. I will be there with my Campbell Riverside layout.

John
Campbell Riverside has been exhibited on the exhibition circuit since 2014 and is continuing to prove popular for all who see it. Since my first exhibition in 2014, the layout has continued to be improved, with the introduction of the 'auto-shuttle' on the high level track and gradually improving the back scene. I have now made a start on weathering the rolling stock, this will be followed by weathering of some of the locos as well.
One improvement that I would like to make before the next exhibition is to make a lighting pelmet possibly using LED strips.
Had a great 3 days at the show. My 'Campbell Riverside' layout performed well over the 3 days and had opportunity to catch up with friends and fellow modellers, old and new.
Campbell Riverside in operation at the Erne MRC exhibition in Lisnaskea 17th September 2016. There is a little well known blue engine that makes an occasional appearance which the younger children and even parents like.

Hi, Yes as Dave says, you will be better soldering every track join from a power bus, ie, run two lengths of cable under the layout, then solder droppers from the track to the bus. Another quick and temporary fix would be to solder the track join.
