Guest hidden-agenda Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) As you can see in the last photo, I also fitted two more point motors under the board for the double slip. Next, I tested the freight sidings for length - with a rake of 12 of Hidden Agenda's 46' Container Flats!

BosKonay Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Cheers Anthony The station is a Hornby item, iirc, its a thomas the tank engine station Will have a check The next phase (arriving thursday) will cut through the wall to the right behind the signal box, and cross the stairwell with a giant suspension bridge (and yes, I'm rather looking forward to that!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BosKonay Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Cheers Broithe - it's unusual (and useful) in that the station building is platform height on one side and 'street level' of the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yeah, need to add the refuelling lines, fuse boxes, fire extinguishers, window cills. It was supposed to be on the main board, but the town planner decided it was in need at the restoration depot! I'll have some snaps up on my workbench later.

David Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Looking good Stephen. Which ballast did you use for that section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Cheers I think that's why I'm actually enjoying quite a large layout. If I'm in the mood I'll lay a little track, or program some point motors, or ballast a siding, or fit some uncouplers (or wreck some platforms ) or lay some more track, or play with some scenics, or do some wiring, etc I get an hour here, an hour there, and means it's always something different to keep the head The ballast there is the gaugemaster granite (which may be a re-bagged noch offering). I definitely prefer it to other options, and it goes down very well. A good spray of muck and it should look quite irish The hardstanding has been painted with Woodlands scenics 'concrete top coat' which looks ok, but is quite cream. Needs lots of weathering and staining methinks. I also need to figure out how to stop the staff falling into the pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I need to paint those buffer stops red too - anyone know what kind of paint colour will yield that bright, almost dayglo effect ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Any of the reds from Games Workshop are super saturated. (Liffey Street) There are only two if I remember, and mixed they are perfect. I'll get you the name later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Also available in tinlets - http://www.humbrol.com/paints/all-paints/aa7105-209-fluorescent-fire-orange-14ml-gloss-enamel-tinlet/ - for small jobs.. There's a few different shades, I believe. Often available in fishing tackle shops for tarting up floats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
