My January Update - Iron ore Wagons & loads - Track work & The Harbour scene
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- For the first update of 2021 i wanted to show some ore wagons that I have recently weathered, along with the new loads that I have made for them. Together with recent track work on the Branch Line and the latest on my Folkestone harbour scene.
I hope you enjoy and subscribe
The harbour is coming together very well. I like it very much. Best wishes from New Zealand.
Thank you so much Graham, and all the very best to you, cheers Paul
Looks very much like iron ore, Paul!! Well done!! You’ve found a good load there!!
Thats very kind thank you, just another dozen or so to find and weather, cheers Paul
The fiddle yard looks a bit like a drunken spider made it!! The harbour will be a wonderful seaside or riverside section.
That track work was merely the placed, the actual track work of the day, makes mine so simple, cheers Paul
Now that’s a lot more convincing!! It’s beginning to look like REAL iron ore!!
Thats very kind, cheers Paul
Hello Paul ,I can tell you are a artist , your weathering is Absolutely first class Regards David
Many thanks David thats very kind, cheers Paul
Much better, actual content worth watching. Looking forward to more of this type of video in 2021.
Many thanks Leonard, Ill do my best, cheers Paul
It looks very realistic. Good job.
Thats kind, thanks Paul
The grit you used is for bird cages. Excellent video the layout is coming on well
Show how long I have had that then, its been twenty 15 years since I used to have budgies, cheers Paul
It is great work, Paul. Great to see you post again and love seeing the progress- definitely a lot of it, even if you aren't sure it is. Cheers and thanks for the videos!
Thanks Anthony appreciated, stay safe chum, Paul
Your work on those wagons - amazing.
Copydex - use of.
Apply glue to both surfaces.
Let it set to near dry.
Join the two surfaces, and press together, it shouldn't need weights. Job done.
The important bit is letting it set before joining the two surfaces. And then waiting.
So, board to underlay - one session. Underlay to track - second session.
Explaining how to suck eggs to grandmothers, just another day!
Of course the great advantage to using Copydex for this part of the process is that it won't < unstick > when you come to ballast with PVA mix. Which may well happen. Oops. Of course if you change your mind, again, well…
The harbour is going to be brilliant.
Great to see you back this new year Paul. Enjoyable update as always and exciting to see the progress you're making on the harbour arm!
Thank you Wendy, lots more to come I hope, cheers Paul
I'm in awe of how much wiring and assorted work you are facing!!! Looks fantastic. Happy New Year!
Yes that is a little daunting, but al part of the process, cheers Paul
Hi Paul-I always look forward to your updates and enjoyed this one . I too use the rust it products and I think they are very good I used it on a Hopper wagon and was pleased with the results but felt where I had exposed the paint the contrast was too big , but of course it needed weathering !! so thanks . Also I like your method for removable loads and watching the running shots it looks very realistic.
Finally I love the harbour scene and you can call me sad but I am excited about it s well.
All the best for 2021 and stay safe.....................Cheers Kev
Very good update. Your artistic skills show through, hope the outcome is as you plan.
Many thanks John, all the best Paul
Those iron ore wagons look really good Paul, really looking forward to the development of that harbour scene, some complex trackwork but I am sure it will look very convincing the way you are laying it out. Cheers Steve
Looking good Paul, looks like you've put in a huge amount of work over the Christmas period. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with the harbour. I'm in the middle of modeling a shunting puzzle for the grandkids, "if I ever get to see them again " its quite relaxing to do things like wagon loads etc it helps keep me from getting stuck in the building work and it keeps me fresh. As always I'm enjoying watching the progress. One of the first videos of yours I came across was when you were putting in a lift up section across the doorway just to get into your layout. And I've been following you ever since. Thanks for keeping us informed of the railway. Its brilliant to see it develop, I look forward to seeing it developing in the future. You and your family stay safe in these difficult times see you on the next one. Off the watch James now. Eddy xx
Always a pleasure to see another video from you Paul. I thought that cutting out the paper for the sea made a big difference and certainly helped view the entire area. Yes, I think getting the track laid has to come first as then its bit by bit for the scenics. My friend was trying to setup The Remembrance Line from Shorncliffe to Harbour Station but that collapsed so its rather nice that you will have a representation of what was once there. I noted the Not to Go hulks as you panned round and thought they looked sad but very realistic. My regards.
Well done can’t wait to see it finished
Hi Paul. Im hoping you're going to include the Station Masters House at Sandling.
Great videos and excellent work!
I wanted to, I am friends with the owner, but unsure if room will allow, cheers Paul
Hi Paul, The harbour scene is coming together. Thks for the update.
Many thanks, Iwanted to sort all the track so needed to do this, cheers PAul
Hi Paul enjoyed the update as usual but I dont mind receiving my medal lol. Really liking the look of the harbour and track work now it's easier to see after you cut it out. Thanks for showing how you did the wagon loads, I'd never thought of doing them that way so great tip. Look forward to seeing the next update happy new year Andy
It is really coming along well Paul. I think you are right to concentrate on getting all the track installed and tested before embarking on too much scenery.
Well Done, and thanks for sharing. Happy New Year, take care and keep safe.
Hi looks great but you may need a run round some where in the Harbour side for the shunning to move around wagons
Hi Paul, great update it all takes time looking forward to your next video stay safe TONY [ GRIFFIN STATION ].
Looking good Paul. 👍🏻
Nice work Paul i love the way you did the wagon loads and how you were able to make them removeable i think they look great. Cheers and all the best.
Nicholas.
Hi Paul, certainly a very interesting video. I`m glad it is you carrying out what looks to be a complicated track plan and not me. Will certainly look forward to the next episode. Stay safe Regards Greg
Happy New Year Paul!
Great to see the progress and how the harbour scene *may* look...
Will be looking forward to the next update.
Cheers for now, Stay safe,
Derek.
Very Kind Derek and yes plenty more to come, cheers Paul
Just found your channel, love it so far. Looking at your harbor it made me think you might need a run-a-round or two and I didn't notice any. Just a thought, my apologies if I missed them! Keep up the amazing work!!
Hi Brandon, there is one, but the track design is an ongoing project, cheers PAul
Been watching your videos to catch up with your progress on sandling. I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop. Always nice seeing southern locomotives and emus.
You definitely made the right call with the engine shed and a new board, all the cutting you had done could well have compromised the long term stability, but you have a solid foundation now. Are you planning to have just diesel or emu too? The two wouldn't usually be mixed as when electrifying the lines new emu sheds were usually built. Also, if you have a 71 or other southern electric locomotive , they'd use their pantograph in sheds and goods yards as they deemed the 3rd rail too dangerous to be in those areas at the time, so you would often see overhead wiring, closer to tram style in such areas that the 71s would go to.
The harbour looks good, but I'm unsure whether you'll have success with the gradient to the main line. Eliminating the s bend would help significantly, as probably would flipping the whole harbour so you have more length for the climb. You may well have to use banking here.
I don't know if you have come across it, but you may find a lot of interesting information in the southern way magazines published by crecy publishing. If you Google you will be able to find a index for the articles, i am sure your areas have been covered a few times.
I've rambled enough though. Happy modelling and hope to see more soon. Stay safe.
Hi paul hope your well. Wow your harbour is looking fantastic. Lots of activity there. Will you be having harbour cranes. Your iron ore wagons really look brilliant. Ps thanks for the advice on youtube videos. All the best.
Paul, nice job on the wagons.
Nice update on your build.
Particularly interested in your Harbour assembly and build.
What will be the height difference between sea levels and quayside.
Any particular plans for the type of boats/ships you going to use.
Scale OO bolts are quite scarce.
My quayside is nearly 8ft long and presently building Scalescene Ships and Fishing boats.
Plus the obligatory Airfix Lifeboat, not quite to scale but looks good.

Nice work Paul. It doesn't look as if there is room for crossovers at the lighthouse end of the station, so how about a sector plate so that locos can be released to run around their trains?
3:30 you're quite enjoying the sensation of playing with the grit, aren't you :D
The station is a bit like Ongar. We had a goods yard at Ongar Station, which was actually larger than the station!!
Yes this station was extended twice by the time it fell into dis-repair, cheers Paul
A great technique with the plastic wrap ...... but I think iron ore is more orange in colour rather than brown ?
Hi Paul useful tips with making loads and love the rusting effect on your wagons. Looking forward to your next update on your harbour, will there be any passengers getting off onto ferries (I could only see freight in the sidings). Will there be in a later video of perhaps shipping using the pier? I worked out of Folkestone harbour on British Rail Sealink ferries in 1972/3..
Top Video👍
Where did you get the boats from ? I like them but make sure you get the Port and Starborard light right Red to the left and Green to the right
An option is to put a magnet in before the load for easy removal
That looks like a massive layout!! How big is it? Mine will have to fit into the back of my Renault Zoe car so that it can go to shows. Mine will be my first exhibition layout.
good vid
At 16.50 did anyone else spot the chair leg with the cable trapped underneath?
Now you’ve made an attractive effort that just didn’t work as expected!!
thank you
🙂🚂🚂🚂
Shame about the sound.... hard to hear you
