My Little John is back from a sound conversion done by Locoworks.
Here is a video. Listen, look and enjoy it ...

Here is a new wagon for the PHRy - a Roundhouse "Three Plank Coal Wagon".
Heavy weathering:
The wood is stained with acrylic paint mixed with isopropanol. The brass was painted with rust colors and powder.
I also did change to IP Engineering 20mm wheels instead of those plastic wheels who came with the kit.
This wagon will probably end up on a siding filled up with scrap and junk.

A little engine and tipper wagons has arrived at the Pine Hill Railway (PHRy).
The engine is a IP Engineering Orenstein & Koppel kit, and the tipper wagons are from Slaters.
This little train will soon run on a new line - from a copper mine to a loading silo.

I have he SM45 version of the IP O&K loco, and really like it. It can handle either a single coach or a couple of vans, so it handles an awful lot of the winter traffic.
Looking good as always!

Traffic Pattern? What pattern? Spuds out; grain in, but cattle, sheep and passengers are a lot less predictable.

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
Hello again ...
It's a long time since I have posted any news from my garden railway - due to work and other activities. Since my pictures at dropbox can't be seen here anymore, I will have to reload all the pics in this tread. This will take some time - but they will be here in some time.
Here are my latest updates from my norwegian garden railway - "The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy)".
New coaches and waggons. And new structures around a coming coppermine. Enjoy it ...
Coaches and waggons
Now I have 2 Brandbright coaches - I like them very much - next will be a Directors Salon.
The last coach on the line is a kitbashed coach of a norwegian style. Second and third compartment (actually first and second in UK-term)
A heavy weathered hopper - a Piko waggon given a lot of heart ...
Structures and lineside pics
A silo made of acrylic and wood. The concrete look is plaster on the acrylic-boards - and weathered to look like old and stained concrete.
The building on top is made of wood and stained with some powder pigments and white spirit.
Mickey got a lovely visitor at the workshop - Betty Bop ...
The Minions at the gas-pump.
Passengers at the station waiting for the afternoon-train.

I really like the purple colour of your coaches. What paint did you use? They look very smart.

Re: The Pine Hill Railway (PHRy) - a Norwegian Garden Railway
Actually, both Great Britain and Norway had three classes of travel, it is just that you all had very little first, and after about 1910, we had very little second. If I remember correctly, the last 2nd class compartments on British Railways disappeared in 1954 when 2nd class travel was abolished on the boat trains. In Norway I seem to think the few first class vehicles were confined to the Oslo-Stockholm, and Oslo-Bergen routes. They may have made it onto the Oslo-Trondheim route, but I am not sure. Only one or two of A class carriages were built for the narrow gauge, and they were back in the 1870s! There were a few batches of Ao and ABo carriages built for the standard gauge side of NSB, but they were not exactly numerous - a few dozen at most. I think a couple of them have been preserved.
I love the kit bash into a Tertitten BCo!
Cheers,
Peter in Va.

The colour is near «Victorian Maroon», bought in a housepaint shop (solvent-based paint).invicta280 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 5:56 pm I really like the purple colour of your coaches. What paint did you use? They look very smart.
I think the colour is very much like the coaches at the Brandbright web-site.

I too like the coach pics. particularly the Norwegian one. Buildings look good too, I like the rusty corrugated iron above the hopper.

Welcome back Kjell, and what a comeback!! Those coach liveries are really great - a real contrast to the weathered buildings. I love the effect you've created on the concrete, and the rusted corrugated iron is brilliant! You must give us a master class in your weathering techniques.

Thanks for all nice feedbacks.
The corrugated iron are actually tinplates from tincanes cut in pieces with a metal scissors. Drilled some 0,6 mm holes and nailed them to the framework with small metal nails. The roof is grey painted plasticsheets from Plastruct.
