Wykeham - Somewhere in the south!

I don't think she heard or saw the postman this morning - luckily I've just checked my list and I do have twenty nine M/N's, but as one is blue, I'd better say twenty eight - so two to go

There was I thinking I had plenty of Class 55s (14) and Class 52s (13) and Class 47s (15).

I'm just glad it was M/N's and not West Country/Battle of Britain (110)

As many of you will be aware I like Bulleid Pacifics The Southern Region used to fit white disc head-codes to their loco's during the day, and lamps at night, which depicted the route the loco was on. If you have a multi-hole hole punch these can be simply made from .05mm plasticard, and stuck to the various lamp irons on the front of the loco with a dab of PVA. If you Google "Southern Region Headcodes" you will find several sites giving the various formations these head-codes can be set up as. A paper hole-punch used for filling a ring binder makes the disc a little larger than ideal, but I doubt many would notice. The discs just add a little more realism to your loco. The "dust" is an optional extra

The picture depicts West Country Class 34040 Crewkerne with headcodes for a Portsmouth/Southsea to Salisbury via Eastleigh train.

That looks great Barry. Nice bit of detailing. R-

Some people pay me for the dust effect.
Those discs are a nice finishing touch - the third rail looks good as well.

You can't beat a good book! Looks like Bradshaw's Guide

Fabulous pictures Barry. Hope she doesn’t get carried away and lean back.

Inside Wykeham shed.
The problem with taking photographs of your layout, is that sometimes it can highlight something you missed or in my case forgot to do. In this case I forgot to paint the roof girders in the shed. You may recall the roof trusses were created to hold the lighting. I can remove the shed and get some paint on the roof structure.

Barry, leave them white but give them a dirty wash.
