it may turn more than a few heads if I fired up the microflame using the seat back as a WB
. But no chance of that as I'm not flying I am going on a cruise from Southampton
Quote 28ten "That should be fun to build ! it looks fairly simple but slightly repetitive - you could knock it out in a weekend" - I wish or do I? I like think of kit prices in terms of price per hours of pleasure so i don't want to finish it too quickly or I may struggle to justify costs to myself or more importantly the wife
I will be creating a workbench thread when I get back and hopefully this should feature at some point.

Hello and oh dear. I'd promised myself that I wouldn't join any more forums, but once you start looking it's fairly natural to want to say 'I like that' or 'well done'. My main interests lie in one of the most distant outposts of the Western Region, though my modelling is focused on the years when the LMR wore the trousers.
Here's a pic or two.

Hi Neil, welcome aboard...
Your layout Shell Island there was a direct inspiration for my own Withyn Reach, which of course is nowhere near as good...
As Cynric says, it was the 'openness' I also liked- and have completely failed to capture in 7mm....
:lol:

Hello everyone,
I was pointed here by Jordan, he commented that there was a fair few garden railways present. I must confess to not being a "Westerner" but having read a couple of threads was captivated by the standard of modelling ! and registered mainly to be able to post comments on such work. The downside is amongst such skills shown here and all the brass I have seen, I will be playing my cards close to my chest, Im here to watch and learn !

Okay just to dispel the "dark side" fears, I have various scales /gauges in the garden and stored as modules in my 8'x6' shed.
45mm in the garden.
45mm indoors 8' x 20"
On30 Indoors (South American so "grey side") 2 modules 36" x 20"
OO Indoors 36x20"
And finally an N guage roundy roundy
All squashed but use able in turns
The N gauge is scenic on the side of the shed not seen here with a return loop under the G scale module. The other stuff, On30 and OO is stored under the N gauge in modular form and can be swapped with the G scale module as and when the mood takes.
As I said not western and not O, so Ill keep quite, behave myself and admire all your handy work

Hello all,
Just another new recruit saying hi! Great to find more "O" Gauge on the Western Region in the diesel era, and with work in progress too. Good stuff!
I like what's being done with the lights on the Western, and look forward to seeing your solution to the working fans. I got the fans up an running with some improvised engineering on D1054, but the twin sets do spin in opposite directions (which I'm sure isn't right?). I'm just starting a new JLTRT Class 52 (which is my second, and destined to become D1063), so will be following some of your ideas on this (particularly like the headcode set up). For cab lighting I dropped two yellow LED's into 1.5mm holes drilled through from the back of the cab into the lights on the back of the rear cab bulkhead. Nice and dingy - "just like the real thing!".
Anyway, catch you again soon!
Happy modelling!
