my cameo projects
Just as an introduction, I have been involved in modelling since the mid 50’s as a retired engineer I now find I have time to do all those things I have always wanted to do. Travel although I did a lot of that in the military but now I have time to do it at my own pace.I resurrected my interest in model railways last year, having a stillborn attempt in N gauge in the late 80's. Here are a few of the minor projects I have under taken to be used in my layout when the final location is made ready for track laying.
Bashing the old Hornby 75 ton rail crane into a rebuilt diesel powered beast

All looking very interesting. I'll look forward to seeing more of the same as and when they come to fruition. What kind of layout do you have in mind when the time comes ?
Cheers

I thought the weathering of the pug was the completed project. It looks great as it is and a fine candidate for being made to look like an old abandoned warehouse shunter in some overgrown siding.
Maybe I have it wrong. It looks great. I would like to look around various shops oddments sections and pick up a suitable doner vehicle with which to do the same.
Excellent stuff Alan.
Cheers

The entire artwork is produced in MS Word 2010 font size down to 5pt. the colour match is not too bad sample taken on my smart phone with a color grab app. and then loading the RGB values into MS Word not to shabby a result. BTW the phone number is fictitious.

Like the Pugs, but it must have been a squeeze to get the decoders in.

You can see the added portion off weight to the right of the picture.
