Station set on the North Norfolk coast.

Progress report; getting on with the scenics, the retaining wall in the goods yard and I've bricked in the controller!
Also added a line which disappears into the yard, it is my programming track is now part of the layout!

Ron

Cracking progress Ron, the scenics are coming on a treat. I guess the disused line that has been seperated from the engine sheds is the programming track ?? I like the way it has been finished off, another part of the scenery put to good use.

Keep up the good and speedy work. :thumbs

Cheers, Gary.

Thanks Gary :)

Cobalt DCD-ADS8FX arrived today, very impressed and got it working 3 points already from the controller!

Hi Ron,

Maybe just some gorse or ……. The remains of an old halt platform.

Must congratulate you on the scenics. Really fantastic work.

Cheers

Toto

May be a good spot for a platelayer's hut and a pile of sleepers?

Bill

Will give it some thought!!
Couple of short video's with the A4 at Weybourne!





Cheers
Ron

I can see why you like those A4s Ron. First clip is a wow, stand back in awe, while the second is simply fab and groovy. I adore the start-up and had no idea that sound could be so good.

It's a great adventure you're having there Ron, so keep those trains rolling!

ATB,

Bill

Very nice Ron. Are the sounds on function buttons or automatic with the trottle ?

Maybe I could use another "Streak" afterall ……………….:roll::roll::roll:

Thanks Bill, enjoyed filming them!!

Hi Peter, whistle and chime are button presses, the rest as set. Check out  the online manual at the Hornby website.
The streaks are my childhood memories as a young lad living next to the ECML!! :)

Cheers
Ron

Couple of jobs done today, mostly on the bridge!





Cheers
Ron

Getting ready for some more plaster work!





Cheers
Ron

Going away for the weekend so I thought I would get the Mod-Roc done to set while I'm away! :)





Cheers
Ron

I think you'll be on shed number two by Christmas.

Great progress and equally great results. Enjoy your weekend away.

Out of curiosity, how much mod roc did it take to do these sections ?

Cheers
Toto

I've used 2 small packs to do this section and the one near the door. Warm water and a little salt and it sets solid in under 2 hours.

Cheers
Ron

Hi Ron,

Good to know as I will be using it for my hill side quarry scene at some stage. 2 hours is quicker than I thought. I intend to put some brown emulsion through the water before soaking the bandage in it.

Cheers

Toto

I hope to get a thick coat of acrylic 'brown umber' on before I hitch the caravan later!!:)
Off to Witney in Oxfordshire to see family but a visit to Howes model shop in Kidlington is on the cards for tomorrow!!:):)

Cheers
Ron

Back home now, got some bits from Howes model shop ,



Both were Dapol kits, the footbridge (which is too high I know!) was OK but the water tower kit was a nightmare!!
The tank base was twisted and 2 of the tank sides were warped, not sure I will buy any other Dapol kits after that!!
Anybody else had a problem??

Cheers
Ron
