Evening all,
With 10 days to go to the layout's first showing, I've finally gotten back from a research trip to the WHR, WHHR and FR railway. Gotten loads of fantastic photographs and films of various engines in action with most of them being of Meridddin Emrys, Blanche, NG143, NG138, Castle Caernafeon and David Lloyd Geogre. Some details on ME and DLG need correcting on the models but they shouldn't take too long to sort out fortunatly.
On the upside, I've managed to aqquire a number of items for the layout. One item won't be ready in time for the show althoug it may appear part built in a siding but the others should all make it:
- A Chris Vetch 'Barn' FR. No 104 Brass kit
- Langley Miniatures 'Prince' Body kit
- A pair of Parkside Dundas Bogie Wagon Kits (one Hudson truck and one flat bed chassis)
- 4 Peco Point levers
- A new Signal Box kit
- Another 10 Bemo Couplings
- FR Ashbury No. 10 Carriage Kit
This leaves a few items to purchase when I get a chance to go out and buy them although the end is now in sight. At the moment, Lyd may appear in Black 'undercoat' but I've decided to repaint my model into the current BR lined Black livery its carrying. I'm also thinking about repainting Linda into its current lined green after seeing it in the metal(it looks SO much better in the metal as it were than in photographs).
Photos and videos will be uploaded shortly along with the first photos of the final push to get the layout ready.
Until Next time,
Jon
