Frustration... Source: Beer and Buckjumpers | 21 Jan 2012 | 6:10 pm UTC

When you've had a very good day at a CHEAG workshop day, making excellent progress on wiring up your demo board, don't......get to five minutes from the end and form a hunch that you've wired up all of the point motors back-to-front. Or you will go home and check them straightaway, and find th ....

Wheal Elizabeth gains a bridge Source: Ullypug's tales from the tinking table | 19 Jan 2012 | 6:50 pm UTC

The ongoing addition of a running line continues. Here you can see the new bridge with a bubble car where the new platform will be on the viewing side. A shot without the bubble car and the addition of a background blocker. No photoshop here! The bridge was made from cut and shut sections... ....

Some progress... Source: Beer and Buckjumpers | 17 Jan 2012 | 10:33 pm UTC

A little at least... It's been a busy Christmas and with lots of other things going on I've had precious little time for modelling. That which I have squeezed in has been with the careful use of a paintbrush. Here are a few snaps. Please excuse the yellowish tone, as tha ....

Bubble Car for Wheal Elizabeth Source: Ullypug's tales from the tinking table | 17 Jan 2012 | 10:07 pm UTC

Cor it's been a while hasn't it? Whereas I used to be able to count my modelling activity in hours, now it's minutes. Happy to report I've finally finished off the bubble car. Well I say finished, there's a mist of weathering, head codes to add, etc etc. I'm really pleased with the way this has... ....

Callow Lane - cottage progress Source: Engine Wood | 15 Jan 2012 | 4:43 pm UTC

A bit more progress has been made on the latest row of Howard Scenics cottages. The brick paper has been applied, the main walls glued together and a start made on the chimneys and window frames. 'Bagnall' 47276 poses in front of the new row (it's evidently been borrowed from Radstock shed for a ja ....

Delph - Holiday Excursion (work in progress) Source: Dave Holt's Blog | 15 Jan 2012 | 11:29 am UTC

Gosh, nearly 6 months since the last entry! Not a great deal of progress with the layout - although I have applied a base coat of colour to the trackwork on two of the boards and started to contemplate wiring up on the third board, That's the one with the main station throat pointwork, so represents ....

Underpinnings and The True Meaning of Christmas Source: Eastmoor | 15 Jan 2012 | 9:33 am UTC

We've had a busy start to the new year; I only had a couple of days off over Christmas. But at work it's all playing with trains so I don't feel cheated or badly done to! Sadly part of the time when I was off I discovered what one main things about Christmas - getting unwanted gifts from and spendin ....

Scenery encroaches while long goods are propelled Source: Eridge Mk 2 - rebuild of a P4 layout | 14 Jan 2012 | 3:54 pm UTC

It's been a long time since this blog was updated, and without the temporary platforms and some buildings it looks almost as if nothing much has happened in 10 months. Not so, much has been done to tweak the trackwork to make it reliable - even if it's not all wired up yet - and at the London end t ....

Still more fun and games last night. We still have one or two electrical snags to sort out but generally speaking that's it. We're in business . A paint touch up will come eventually. We were pleased to welcome a member of one of our neighbouring groups from the Mid Devon Area . David B brought alon ....

Callow Lane - more cottages Source: Engine Wood | 7 Jan 2012 | 2:18 pm UTC

I seem to be perpetually building card cottages for this layout. I decided a few months ago that I would need a further row of four cottages in 'half-relief' to go opposite the main goods yard and immediately in front of the backscene. The area just felt a bit too open, and I think that in real li ....

Clay Wagons GWR Dia 013 (part 1) Source: Grogley Junction | 5 Jan 2012 | 12:24 pm UTC

Clay wagons will play a prominent role on Tredethy Wharf and other projects that I'm hoping to build in the future. This fact is something that has been playing on my mind for some time. So, over Christmas, I decided to dig out all the kits from different manufacturers that I'd collected over the ye ....

Day Return to Levisham Source: Eastmoor | 30 Dec 2011 | 8:11 pm UTC

Earlier this week we had a lovely afternoon on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; the weather was rather dull but it some how really rather added to the whole day. We chose to go from Pickering to Levisham, it's about twenty minutes between the two and we reckoned that's a pretty good balance betwee ....
