  10. Hi everyone, just a quick update on the layout. I have been putting this on the back burner for a while and finally picked up the nerve to give it a go, having watched several videos, this is the results so far. There is still lots to do to the river and the waterfalls to achieve the finish i'm after. The pictures show the last two days attempts thus far. Enjoy TDR
  11. Hi All A further update showing the latest additions to the fleet, A rake of Dapol modified tanks to x 13 molasses tanks pulled by 036 revealing 8 new MIR bogie ballast wagons. I’ve also replaced the dummy signals on the station side with new working colour light signals made from brass rod, strip, wire and ladders with the 3 aspect heads from Berko and Railtech, ground shunt, theatre and route indicators, hoping to connect to the panel this weekend. Some pictures showing the changes to the yard too with two new hoists, fuel point and tank in place. I have to thank Geoff Johnston for providing the old style NIR logos for the two blue hunsletts all three hunslets are are running well with sound added to all three, There is also some pics showing the inside of the signal box and shed. Enjoy TDR VID_20230719_143758299.mp4

  14. Hi All, just a quick update with some pictures, I’ve spent the last 6 months, making, modifying, detailing and painting many, many bits and pieces. Today I started placing some of these on the layout starting with the town area, road works, bar fight, police check point on railway bridge and a loco scrap yard, much more has to be done in these areas , but its a start, I will also be adding several more in the next few weeks to other areas too, Some pictures contain loco Surgery LOL enjoyTDR
