This was a good project! They look the part - certainly very happy with the result! Coded in C++ and runs through an Arduino Nano.

Gordon 4VEP 3417 and EDs 73109 & 73119 arrive and depart Waterloo. Marvellous day. HUGE congratulations to the SETG and everyone who has worked so hard to get to this point. The unit looks stunning. So special.

Because they are selfish and have a “me me me” attitude. No one else matters - it’s a “Not my problem” generation, parents passing it onto kids etc etc. A downward spiral and it’s getting worse. Aircraft are left the same way after a flight. Some of the mess I’ve seen as crew…

73119 moves in and re-couples to 3417 for the trip back to Strawberry Hill. Wonderful.

My tickets for my trip to Bournemouth last week. Bought & printed from the ticket office at Brockenhurst. So much better experience than the machines or even the app. Raj in the ticket office was fantastic - super helpful and friendly, made my day.

Well, today it happened. The last Stagecoach liveried Desiro, and the last SWT Outer Suburban Blue 450, 450031, left for repaint into SWR livery. This was a massive part of my childhood and I will miss it greatly. But I will always remember it fondly, many happy memories from SWT

Today marks 13 years since the last 3CIG slamdoor ran on national rail (The Lymington Branch). 1497 & 1498 were a huge part of my childhood and I still miss them hugely. Footage from around 2009, which makes me about 6 years old when I filmed these videos. Their legacy lives on

Day 1 at the Great Electric Train Show! I’m helping out on Gordon’s Lane. We were really busy running more trains than Pete, so hardly any time for photos but I got a few throughout the day. I’m up there again today, do say hello if you are there! 444s will be on display.

Weathering! One cleaner unit and one dirtier one. Always one of my favourite stages of any rolling stock project…

The run for the trains to go into and out of the layout is ballasted and looking good. Bit of weathering on the track and it’ll be nice. I wanted to do a station here but as it’s where I pick up and place down trains onto the track it’s much easier to keep it clear.

In light of this evening’s sad news, a special headboard has been made to commemorate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her incredible lifetime of service and achievements.
Sleep well, our Queen.

Work on Exbury End is officially underway, the shells of things are getting done. The shape of the layout is starting to appear from the foam board but nothing is textured and scened yet. Need to get a backscene as well. A long way to go but coming together nicely.

Time to drop the news! This was an interesting project, commissioned by my friend Greg of the BWWMRC and Gordon’s Lane layout. I have done a repaint of 450067 in OO gauge for Greg. It took a while to get right especially doing the artwork for the window figures!

🧵Good evening, I have been busy on the 444s since my last post. I have applied all the transfers - a huge thanks to Rainbow Railways for getting these sorted for me in record time - they are superb, I highly recommend them.

These are now ready for windows. A final layer of varnish to protect them from handling and the paint yellowing over time has been applied.

up on their wheels for the first time. They don’t shape up too badly against the 450s either. Maybe a touch tall but nothing which will be noticeable when out on the layout. I need to get the chassis and bogies painted before fitting the wheelsets properly

A train race out of Brockenhurst! Naturally we soon hit the 35 for the curve onto the branch and the 444s won…

Having a blast with the 73, looks right at home next to the CIGs. Running very well, only a few places it’s not 100% happy but that’s largely down to my old dodgy track work. I’m planning a rebuild of much of the layout this winter though so that should rectify much of it

The 444s have gained their running numbers, and thus, their identities. My SWR logos hopefully will arrive soon…

With the weather still pants, it's back to the workbench. This time a small amount of paint correction on the ends of the first 444 to smooth out the lines. Particular attention was paid to the areas where the black meets the yellow.

A look at a repainted 450
DMOC with the underframe loosely fitted. Just waiting on the numbers for these then will get them all varnished finished off and back together. Those small underframe decal details really make a difference as well looking forward to running them!

A closer look at the 444 ends.
Headlight holes drilled, and detailed. This completes the main paint process on the bodyshells, which are now ready to be gloss varnished ahead of transfers.
