    Need to check prices for one litre of diesel fuel during the period my layout is set. Mind you, when I was looking at the images of old petrol station pumps, they show a price of fuel per gallon.

    Two of the Carlow Petrol Station Pumps are complete; Petrol and Diesel. Going to do the 4-Star Fuel pump next, which was the main alternate fuel to diesel for road vehicles, especially in the 1950's and 60's before Unleaded Petrol took it's place.

    The first building for my 'Great British Carlow' layout is complete in the form of the Petrol Station. See images below. I am currently working on the petrol pumps to go with it. Images of the pumps coming soon.

    Pictures of my HO/OO Gauge The Diesel's Railway Series (Also Known As D4711) Model Project. Face used is from the Hornby Devious Diesel model, albeit repainted yellow. The next stage is finding a Diesel Locomotive model. The Diesel's RWS livery is inaccurate as none of his basis, The English Electric Type 4/BR Class 40 Diesels, were ever painted in British Railways Two-Tone Green livery, and we already have too many Type 4 Diesel characters in the Thomas & Friends universe in the form of two class 40s: The Diesel's TVS counterpart (D261) and Old Stuck-Up (40125), along with a Class 46 Derby/Peak Diesel called Spamcan/Old Reliable (D199). The only diesel classes that look similar to D4711 and had been painted in BR Two-Tone Green livery are the English Electric Type 2/BR Class 23 Baby Deltic and the English Electric Type 5/BR Class 55 Deltic, along with Deltic Prototype 2 (DP2). Which of the three would be appropriate for my D4711 project? Please state your suggestions in the comments below. Thank you for your help.

    My latest model project: The Foreign Engine (Also Known As Big City Engine). Model is Hornby Patriot Class 'Bradshaw' (R3278) and the face is from the discontinued and now rare Take n Play Big City Engine. Next step is adding the engine's crest on the tender.

    Today, I will show and explain to you how I upgraded my Bachmann Henrietta with a face from her 'Adventures' model, since Henrietta didn't have a face in the TV series when Bachmann released her in late 2008. 1. First, I used a triangle screwdriver to unscrew the 'Adventures' Henrietta model to remove the face from it. 2. Using the Stanley knife, I cut off the back tab that hold the face... Before using sand-paper to sand down the rear of the face. 3. Next, I cut off the two middle black handrails at one end of my Bachmann Henrietta, and painted the door-side windows orange. 4. I then unscrewed the two Phillips screws in the middle of my Bachmann Henrietta. 5. Next, I loosen and slightly lifted the coach body. 6. I added a bit of glue on the back of the face and put it on the end with the painted door-side windows. 7. And finally, I pushed the coach body back down and screw it back together with the chassis. Please comment on your thoughts of this and other future modelling projects I am doing. Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum page on my HO/OO Gauge Layout Project: 'Great British Carlow', a British spin-off layout based on Carlow Railway Station in Ireland, set on the London Midland Region of British Railways during the last years of steam from 1955 when the Modernisation Plan was published to the end of steam in 1968. Keep up to date on progress of this layout here, as well as on the workbench session of this forum.
