8N diesel servicing point

[PjKing1]

Quite a bit done over the last few days, work has carried on with the points that will be part of the stabling point, both inspection pits arrived and have been assembled and fixed into position and the raised section on the second board has also been fixed into position

Not much track work has been fine lately but I have been working on the fuel storage tanks, I’ve gone for the Buxton/Springs Branch style rather than the prototypical vertical tank Edge Hill had. I’ve also added D326 to the fleet, this has had the ride height lowered as well as quite a bit of extra detail added to the under frame and pipe work added to the engine room windows etc, it’s also fitted with Legomanbiffo sound and a stay alive.

Here’s some photos of D326 and the progress so far on the tanks

Oh my, that doorway and window - just like all the photos I've seen from that period!

Ladders added today this is not going to be easy

I use inkjet cartridges - a lot less messy than bulk ink deliveries and keeps the desk clear!

When work hasn’t been getting in the way I’ve have been cracking on with various things, D233 arrived and although I was going to renumber it to D270 I’ve decided to keep it a
namer in ex-works condition with all the trimmings.

I’ve also wired the lower section of the first board up including both point motors and I’ve finally started planning the shed building.

PJ that's all looking good.
Something that has caught my eye are your boards. I've had a short search but can't find who it is that have made them it's the ones as shown in the last photo above.

Best

Thanks very much the boards are by Tim Horn they are very good, easy to put together and he does various sizes, I’ll have to order some more soon myself

Over the last week work has continued on the depot building and the latest two additions have arrived. I know they have their issues but I have to admit I like them
