A completely different weekend helping good friend and customer Doug to operate his German harbour layout 'Nordhafen" at the Neepsend Model Railway Society exhibition at Grenoside.
It was great to see what goes on behind the scenes at an exhibition from start to finish, making new connections and catching up with great friends. Operating the layout and running the fiddle yard to a strict sequence was great fun and demanding at the same time. Looking forward to future events.
With thanks to Zoe Hunter, Kevin Mulhall, Doug Houston and Lol Saccomando.

Our 'OO' gauge model features a wide range of detail variations to reflect changes made across the ten locomotives between 1959 and 1980, including differences in sandbox and boiler water tank arrangements, bodyside grilles, underframe tanks, and boiler filler hatches.

Distinctive touches such as bufferbeam pipework, unique bonnet-top handrails on D4 Great Gable, and the slotted bodyside grilles fitted to D9 and D10 are also faithfully reproduced. 🤩

Those 20s keep on rolling in. A fantastic Bachmann Europe class 20 came in for renumbering and weathering. I just love these locomotives.

A few more projects through the workshop and this time we have a brace of Accurascale UK locomotives. D6600 in for heavy weathering and D9000 for that preserved but used look.
Weathering is easy when you have such superb locomotives to work with.

After weathering a Bachmann Europe 20100 for a customer before Christmas, I was hooked on the modle and I'd been on the lookout for one for my own collection...

Thanks to the January sales and an offer (plus some Christmas money), I was lucky enough to grab myself a bargain.

I fitted sound and simply had to weather it prior to taking pride of place on Sherwood Central. I've still to add the discs and blend the pipework in, but I'm just about there with it.
