What are you doing with the couplers, converting the diesel etc to Kadees, the Baldwin to tension lock or neither?

Not that it really matters that much though because I ran both at Rainhill the a small van and the Gnomy caboose, each fitted with TL at one end and KD at the other, acting as converter wagons. Nobody commented on the mix.

At the moment Im thinking of fitting TLs (Or at least the loops) to the Baldwin as everything else Ive made has them.

I like the way the buildings are arranged around the railway, it should look quite convincing when done. Definitely to be included in the line up for January! ;)

It does look better. 8-)

I keep looking at the bright yellow paint on my Rogers mogul and it may get a bit of dust and rust around the edges but I don't think I could bring myself to do the dirty with my 440, the dainty little Baldwin is obviously very well looked after by her regular crew. ;)

It stayed clean for so long due to fear of doing the dirty !!

Im getting back into the routine of getting stuff done now, after my period of "modellers block" The ground cover added last night hsa had the PVA added along with some additional cover at the front, looks like the grass has started to take hold too !!

Im trying to keep an open uncluttered look hence no buildings at the front, I have found previously, that large structures at the front limit photo opportunities.
Although I am tempted with a canopy over the boardwalk station. ? !

Anyway here are the pictures....
