Re: WEST ORTON
New arrival - Great Central D11. A good offer from TMC, sound fitted with lots of little bits inc. etched nameplates to add tomorrow. The crew are currently in a mail sack in a corner of a Royal Mail sorting office (possibly).

Re: WEST ORTON
The 3D printed figures finally arrived. Finished painting this morning and added some real coal to the firemen’s shovels.

Re: WEST ORTON
A nice assortment of cab crew (Modelu or Hardys?). Good idea about coal on the shovel - obvious, but I've never seen it mentioned before.

Re: WEST ORTON
I always model the shovel either before it has been loaded with coal or after it has dispensed with its load 
Nurse, the screens!

Barry, they are from Hardy’s - two of their multi-packs.
Brian is getting lazy in his dotage.
Did I mention that one driver has a moustache and two have tattoos on their arms.

Re: WEST ORTON
One of them definitely needs to trim his nose hair.
I’ve never loaded the shovels with coal because it never occurred to me. Looks like I have to get busy. What a good idea Steve.

Re: WEST ORTON
Some more 3D printed bits arrived at the end of the week so some painting has been done ready to install on the layout.

And I needed an oxyacetylene gear that go with the light effect in the shed.

Then there are the ground signals.

Re: WEST ORTON
Not something that I should often seen at West Orton - freight. Mainly because a mixture of couplings made them awkward to run. But I have finally got round to converting them all to Hunt couplings although the locos and lead wagon have Kadees.

Re: WEST ORTON
The shed scenes are simply superb, lovely attention to detail great painting/weathering. The cameo on the buffers looks just so natural. Great modelling to aspire to, again
