The centre board is now complete, how many shite hawks, flying rats and moggies can you spot?

The S&B railways love for the oddball has come to the fore with its latest purchases for its fleet, in the guise of a inspection car/loco and a diesel railcar & trailer combo.

The first of the S&B's own coaching stock has been built and out shopped from the workshop. I am not 100% happy with the sign writing it will have to go back to the paint shop at sometime.

it will have to go back to the paint shop at sometime.

Umm...a feeling I sympathise with!

Is that a kit?

Yes Dundas DM22 Festiniog semi open.

The workshop has delivered another of S&B's own coaches, the sign writing  is still not perfect but getting better.

Hi, may I suggest painting the area to receive the lettering with gloss varnish, makes applying lettering easier & the transfers stick better. Then apply Matt varnish over the same area once  the decals have fully set to seal them in place & restore the Matt finish. Just a suggestion,  works for me.🙂

The S&B coach fleet now numbers three in their own blue livery.

For my birthday I treated myself to a 3D printed body to fit a Kato 0-4-0 chassis, I have added handrails, coal, toolboxes, couplings, crew, window glazing and a paint job in S&B Railway company livery.

That's a nice looking loco. I hope you enjoyed your birthday.

The S&B railway's Classic/Vintage vehicle wing have been sprucing up their fleet ready for the end of lock down opening of the local Zoo (Bus shuttle Service from Station to Zoo) and station dressing in the form of Jones the Coal's Scamell delivery truck.

Having temporarily run out of things to build/make, I got the Kato track out for a testing session of my lockdown purchases. I had not realised how many locos I had purchased.

The video was great fun to watch. A very appropriate soundtrack too.  :)

As you have discovered, like others before you, locomotives are a bit like rabbits.  :) :)

It is good to check they are all still working.  :)

Is that L.A.S  (Locomotive Acquisition Syndrome)?

(After James Hill - "Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome - why have one ukulele when you can have twelve?)
