Stonebridge Model Railway

New train storage system in absence of room for a fiddle yard. 50mm trunking from Toolstation, 3d print brackets, end stops and connecting pieces providing track alignment and electrical contacts via DuPont pins. #TMRGUK

Designed a holder for the Gaugemaster Prodigy controller. Used Fusion 360 and printed on a Bambu Labs A1. Put 3 round the layout, each with a socket wired back to the base station. Tidies things up a bit. #TMRGUK

Printing out some line side relay boxes I designed on Fusion 360. #TMRGUK

Bambu Labs A1 3d printer arrived today. Very impressed so far. Filament should be here tomorrow but the 20g supplied was enough for a couple of test prints. #TMRGUK

Fantastic service from FK3d prints. Ordered a class 33 cab set and the detail is amazing. Unfortunately it was a bit too large. Couple of emails later and they are reprinting to my spec. Really great service. #tmrguk

Many thanks to @Hornby for providing this free of charge after I ordered the part on the service sheet which had the part number incorrectly printed. Great service. #hornby #tmrguk

Great service from @DapolRailways. Needed new driveshafts for the class 121 but no one stocks them now. Rang Dapol and they said to send them back (free post) and that they’ll replace them FOC. New design arrived today. #TMRGUK #dapol

Tweezer set for just £4.99 from Lidl with a good variety of styles. #TMRGUK

Scalescenes bus garage almost ready to go on the layout. Fun to build and will go near the underground station I recently did. #TMRGUK

Finally picked up a 38 stock driving carriage to sit in the underground station. Very happy with it - especially with the signage as my dad was station manager at Elephant & Castle in the 60s and 70s. #TMRGUK

Progress on the Underground Station today. Happy with it so far. Destination boards, platform markings and lighting to add. Particularly like the exits and depth it gives. #TMRGUK

First section of underground station diorama done. It’s will sit below the baseboard and have a single 38 tube stock car sitting there. Deciding how little I can get away with buying from Bachmann spares. Body £30. Bogies £12. Make the under frame. #TMRGUK

New type of kit for me today - a Kingsway card underground station. Based on Mile End but I adapted it something approaching White City. #TMRGUK

On one of the South Eastern class 395 Javelins that have been refurbished. New carpet, seat covers, table tops, grab handles and USB sockets. #TMRGUK

Working on the bridge section again after doing other bits and pieces. It’s a rebuild having had a card version previously. #TMRGUK

Dinmore Manor from @accurascale arrived at last. Well worth the wait. Quick test run before adding the crew. #TMRGUK

A run for the 3 wagons done so far. #TMRGUK

Two loads done for the coal fish wagons I picked up in a job lot purchase. Bought a length of concrete sleeper track to cut up for the load. #TMRGUK

Interesting signal box - Chester number 6. I picked up a bound set of 1982 Modern Railway Pictorial magazines in the Oxfam Shop recently for £4. Pictures from there. #TMRGUK.

Dapol unpainted vans (£7.95). Railmatch bauxite. First go at weathering powders - black and smoke. Maybe a bit heavy handed but looks ok to my untrained eye. #TMRGUK
