It's a shame as pushing a like button shows your appreciation without clogging up the forum with replies.

Hi I have paint my tracks also. I use a mix of orange, rust and dark earth for the rails and ties. The sleepers I use a paint called sleeper grime.
I then dry brush the sleepers with a touch of white to emulate the old weathered sleeper affect.

Fantastic job on the footbridge Richard.

Evening I thought I would share some more pictures of my small running plank. I'm pleased with the way my Wills crane kit looks on the layout. The ballast has been completed and will be weathered up as the plank progresses. The platform area has been painted and I managed to get the concrete affect ...

Thank you Chops, I don't know the answer to your hattons question but I can say there own brand of P Class and Andrew Barclay locos are very very good.

Hi I have managed to progress a little further on the platform structure and fixing a small square base which will be for the yard crane.
The yard crane was built up last week but today I completed the painting and weathering.

Thank you Bandit Mick, she is nice and m thinking of purchasing the other P Class variations.

Hi as promised a couple of progress pictures..

My latest purchase from Hattons. SECR P Class 0-6-0T in ROD green.

Impressed with Hornby's new website even though it's not fully operational.
A breath of fresh air and moving with the times.
