A couple of O Gauge wagons.

Couple of wagons arrived recently from Bristol.

Another SR vent van which needs to be renumbered.

Second is a 9ft seven plank kit built open wagon intriguingly lettered for a Beehive manufacturer from Gloucester.

Just a couple of cosmetic repairs and need to source a new buffer from somewhere . Then add couplings and all ready.

Hillbrow is appearing at Holt next weekend .

Please come and see us and have a chat.

It's a Thumper in 3mm.

I aquired this semi completed kit of a 2H from Nigel.

He had painted it blue soto keep within my timescale it has had a coat of Southern BR green.

Both roofs fit so they need to be detailed.

Painting the underframe will advance the look together with fitting the bogie sideframes and undergubbins!

Luckily I have the Bachmann 4mm version to copy from.

3mm Scale Adam's Radial.

The Radial has been finished except for couplings.

Colin made a superb job of completing what I had started and all that was left was to apply transfers and numbers.

How I wish I had the steady hand of twenty years ago as I am not completely happy with the result- I have done better.

Anyway it is completed and will have couplings added soon.

Cringle Street Goods.

Cringle St. now has a loading gauge- a PECO one (in packets of two) as this comes complete with post .

Supplied as a kit of four pieces it is a quick and accurately moulded item to assemble.

There is a base supplied but a quick turn of a drill bit in a pin vice sorted the mounting hole and the loading gauge glued in place.

The awning has been painted cream and the whole low relief building has been secured with a screw through the backscene so it can easily be removed.

A blank platform awaits detailing with aforementioned trollys and sack trucks and loads of various kinds.

There is also a mounting for fire buckets to be painted and installed.

This shows the whole of the layout with pelmet attached. There is a row of LED's which provide the lighting.  I have asked Jurassic to make the sign for me so apart from detailing the main work is done.

Skytrex 0 Gauge accessories.

 I already have several of the Skytrex resin cast loads. These were new to me however.

A couple of trollys in one pack and four sack trucks in another.

Good clean castings with minimal clean up required, after assembly, with superglue, a quick waft of undercoat and final colour applied.

Unfortunately I dont have colour photos of the originals so they are as they are seen here- loaded with Skytrex milk churns and a wooden box aquired from somewhere or other.

Cringle Street Goods- O Gauge.

 Only a few words today- thank god I hear you say!

Cringle Street Goods has been under construction for some time and is now fully operational.

So, the scenery had to be constructed. I must say that the warehouse is the largest building I have ever made scaling out at approximately 2ft in length.

Covered with Howard Scenics brick paper and doors and windows by LCUT. More soon.
