Finally gettiing out of my system.

Terry

Notwithstanding the colour of the Terrier, I like it!!

I have no problem with the Company name or colours but those huge couplings spoil it IMO.

The fencing does look good Terry - how did you keep the wire taught enough whilst the glue set ?

I'd mentioned eyesight on another thread somewhere and my word, it needs to be good for the benches !!  Having said that, they look much better than the "soft" plastic offerings one sees on many layouts.  One concern - will the brass look a little thin or does it look "solid" enough ?  I'm thinking especially about the framework which would have been cast I'd imagine.

Thanks Terry.

Those seats look excellent - much "meatier" than they appeared in the raw brass state.   :thumbs

Here's the real one…

That's very much, ''That'll do nicely sir!''

Bill  :thumbs

Thank you Bill, very kind of you.

Presently, I am painting some Peco bufferstops retrieved from my previously abandoned project.  After that I really can't avoid it any longer, I must make a start on scratchbuilding the goods shed!


Best wishes,


Terry

Not "public demand" !!!  I'd never, ever ask to see something that doesn't say either LNER or LMS on the side……………… :Red Card :Red Card :Red Card

 

"would I ever want to detract from anything GWR" ('E sed it).
Whether by design or accident, a great looking photo on a misty morning.

Thank you Nigel.  It won't be so misty when I get the backscene fitted!

Hi Terry,

Well I never knew that the Southern Railway painted their buffer stops in a two tone scheme. Well done SR, as it looks really cool. I wonder if the others just copied the GWR?

You're a brave man though Terry, for raiding the wife's shed. Fortunately, what she doesn't know can't kill you!

Best,

Bill

I told you to model LNER ..................... :roll: :cheers

I found a foreigner in the bottom of a storage box yesterday Peter.  It had tried copying GWR colours, but despite that, it's a pretty little  thing this J72. Not sure how it got there though, have you lost one perchance?

The box says it's a mainline loco, but frankly it should never leave the branch, probably confined to the yard  :hmm

Sorry for the slight hijack Terry

Take care,

Bill

Ah ha - the J72 Bill - that well known wolf in sheep's clothing ……………….

They look the bees knees Terry.

What did you use for the weathering ?

Terry, I'm also interested in a similar goods shed to that shown in the Beale book, building and siting one will determine the layout of the rest of the terminus area.

Here is a link to the Lambourne shed,

http://lambournvalleyrailway.info/stations+crossings/lambourn/lambourn-3.htm

 I'm imagining something in between the two. Any thoughts? As I'm now in 1950 I wonder if the GWR colours applied or whether the Station Master at Ursa was a progressive sort who insisted on adopting the new BR Western Region colours of chocolate and cream? [If that's right for non-passenger buildings..]

Of note, in the link picture of the loading bank are the two 'portable' fence sections, obviously to make loading arrangements more flexible, I've never seen them modelled…

Amazing how many people can't spell Lambourn correctly  ;-)

Looking forward to seeing how two excellent modellers face off against each other in the Goods Shed Challenge  :lol:
