Shed Scenes.

ALL OF THOSE pics are GREAT great modelling =D u have a huge colletion of locos there, How many in total???

 

Too many to count! :smt002

 

AHAHA, nice lol

 

Quite a while ago i purchased a little ratio wagon, as i havent made a wagon before i kept putting it off as i didnt think i would be able to do it.
But today i received the plastic cement i was waiting for and got started:

Before i started:



The finished item:















The roof will be painted white when i get the correct paint. I have to say i am quite proud of this and it wasn't difficult at all!

 

Yep! Those ratio kits make up quite well, here's a link to a picture of my attempt... http://www.frankcollins.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/stock.htm

Now you have done a kit, have a bash at some of the Coopercraft or Parkside kits, all build up quite easily, Some pics of mine at the same link as above.

 

Some very nice wagons and locos there!

Will have a look at those kits

 

Have to admit but all that Ive heard about Parkside kits and how difficult people make them out to be. I hve just completed an LNER long wheel base CCT, SR BY utility van and a SR CCT with plywood sides. All 3 of these kits were easy to assemble.
The most annoying feature of Parkside kits is the lack of couplings or any indication where to install them even if you buy the couplings.

Other good kits are the Dapol kits, Also having just completed an Interfrigo wagon, I would much rather assemble a dapol kit. You can build a Dapol kit in 1 day( if you have the time).

 

Might i ask which is the best two road shed to get? I have recently remodelled my layout and got rid of the horrid hornby shed that i have been using for a number of years and was wondering if a more accurate shed was available

 

Superquick or Metcalfe.
Both are very good 2 road sheds and both are very sturdy.
Personal experience would point me towards the new Metcalfe shed.

 

Thats a coincidence - I am doign the same thing and ordered 3 of the Metcalfe sheds this afternoon!

Dan

 

I have been making up a few engineering wagons over the last year or so to boost my fleet (intend to eventually build up to a rake of RUDD wagons - I'm at 4 now and only another at least 11 to go...!) from Parkside and Cambrian. I have to say I found the Parkside kits the easier of the two to build.

 

Some shots with a Southern flavour with my three MN's, 35005 "Canadian Pacific" , 35020 "Bibby Line" and 35028 "Clan Line".

 

those are some great pics once again mate =D>

 

You're a genious mate! Some great shots yet again! =D>

 

Cheers,

Took a couple of snaps of the wagon complete with "dirty" white roof, alongside my new addition to the layout, a very smart British Railways van.

 

Sorry but my eyes were peeled on the MN behind it!!! it amazes me on the scene you can produce from such a small layout like that! Great pics mate! =D>

 

has anyone noticed that only kieran has posted pics on here???
does it have to be shed scenes or can it be general shots of layouts??

 

What does the title say... ;-)

 

Well the original idea was i would create a thread to show the various shots i take... and because the layout is of a shed scene i thought it was an appropriate title for the thread.

 

ah okay i understand now
