Calor LPG tank

Pix valley MPD had its log awaited a 3400 litres LPG tank installed today.

Western Hills MPD fabrication shop

Inspired by a recent article in “model rail” here is my take on the building. Which once was the old weighbridge and parcels office; Pix Valley are utilising the building as a fabrication shop. A bit more work on the barge boards and guttering. Lights and special effects to be added later.

                                                                                                                                                                               

Western Hills MPD update

A little more work on the surrounding area of western Hills MPD. I need some workshop paraphernalia to place around to give it some atmosphere, possibly an out building with an arc welder going full chat. 

Essential track maintenance

Yesterday I removed the section of baseboard with the sticky turnout, glad I made my layout in 4 foot sections!

The fault was down to a sliver if wood where the actuation rod passed through the board it was acting like a spring.  

I do like these slow acting motors from DCC concepts

The opportunity arose to add some more ground work in siding and approach road. 

Oh and the stencils from  www.modelrailwayscenery.com.      

My new J94

My latest J94 I was considering a conversion as “Brussels” or a Lambton cab as it only cost me £37 on Ebay. It turns out to be mint apart from some dust shame to convert it, having said that I have not tested it on the rolling road yet but it will have to be dismantled to chip it.

Tested on the rolling road runs smooth, chipped it today running quite sweet. But I have a sticky turnout jams halfway on the throw guess it means removing that section baseboard and sorting it out.
