I was speaking to Charlie from DC Kits. He now has 40ft & 20ft Bell Containers in stock and he will be at the Bangor Railway Show this April and will

have both containers for sale at the show.

Great work on the cement terminal, i would love to build one sometime. The warehouse looks so real and the roof is just amazing.

I look forward to see all the Bubbles weathered. Great skill.

Hi gm, I have made some Keg containers by Model Irish Railways and i painted them brown & rust colours then i put just a little blue paint in some places.

Here is a pic of one.

Hi Frank, Here is a pic of a tipper that i got of Hattons that tips & the tail gate opens. It is called GUY Big J Tipper £9.DG187012.

Hope this does the job.

Beautiful job they both look so real. Keep up the great work.

Great shot of this wagon. Got anymore. Much needed for modelling.

Anybody got photo's of light signal, old & modern. Also any ground signals would be nice as a guide to modeling please.

It takes about 2 weeks to make 1 Wagon, there is a lot of small parts to make. I don't have a layout but someday i hope to get the trains running.

Thanks for all the comments.

Here are a few pic's of some 20FT Flat Wagons that i built using a Parkside Dundas 12FT underframe Kit, cost £2.00 each.

All white plastic has been added by me. This kit makes wagons about the right length but i made mine a bit short but they

are ok.

Here is a pic of an old MK1 Brake that i kit bashed closing doors & windows, its a lot of work. I added B4 Bogies that i got from DC Kits.

I think it looks fine.

Popeye, superb photo there, very good wagon and track weathering. And thanks for the detail on where the wall came from. It really looks the business. Is that Random Ashlar Texture Sheet TX46?

Hi Weshty, Yes it is Random Ashlar TX46. They look so real. My printer is not printing very well but if you print a lot at once then they will all be the same

colour and shade. And you pay once and print as many as you like. I wonder do they do £20 notes:-bd

Thanks for all the comments. The Buffers are Round sprung buffers from Bachmann, Cambrian Ride Control Bogies £2.85 per pair with 10.5mm wheels. The Wagon is all made with plastic and the stone wall is from Scalescenes printed paper.

Here is another pic with my new Bell Containers.

Here are some pic's of a 42ft Container Flat Wagon that i built from scratch. It's not exactly correct but it is near enought for me.

The bogies are from Cambrian Models. It's the best running wagon i have. Now i can put my new Bell Containers on it.

The park royal looks great, well done.

I got this kit from Dapol, it is very easy to put together. The Excavator is from Wiking 1:87 scale. It is a good fit & 00 scale might look a little large.

That looks great so far, put some pic's up when it's painted. I was wondering how the kit looked, now i know. I might get a couple.

What did you use for the roof & bogies?

The cement factory looks great with the bubbles.

Thanks. I haven't finished it yet, bit more to do. The handles are still just bare wire. Here's a brass one i done before.

Hi the green i used on my G611 was Humbrol emerald No2 Gloss, a little bit light but that might suit you. Its lighter than the pic of the A Class above but not by

much. hope that helps. You just have to try one & then lighten or darken to suit yourself.

from the drawing i have it is, length 62mm,width 36mm,and height from base of bubble to top is 32mm. That is what mine will be.
