Thank you for sharing, it's great to see so many likes on a #modeltrains post! The UK #modelrailway community on here is quite small - anyone with an interest in #railwaymodelling should follow the #bsmrguk hashtag and join! Sad to have missed York this year.

I've primed it in pink to give a good base for the yellow, of which there's quite a bit on this livery. It should also be good for the red. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #kitbash #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading #railwaymodelling

A few days at work have slowed progress on the M&E GP9/TE-47-4E project, but tonight I've found some time to set the airbrush up to get some paint on the model. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #kitbash #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading #railwaymodelling

More board-edge electrical connectors - this time for the distant break-beam sensor. I’ll give them a lick of paint and cover with ballast once I know everything is working ok. #TMRGUK #BSMRGUK

With the lights working I turned my attention to the consist - thank you to @tachyoneddy.bsky.social for pointing me in the right direction. With CVs 21 and 22 set correctly its now working as it should. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroad #railwaymodelling

After last night's frustration with the SD40-2 consist I sat down today and took my time. The issue with the lights on 8256 was easy - it had bulbs despite being DCC ready. LEDs swapped from the RI donor loco. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroad #railwaymodelling

Ge 4/4 III locomotive crossing a bridge on my RhB layout
Quite pleased with this photo of my layout that my daughter took last weekend. #modelrailways #bsmrguk

The pair run well together, but there are no lights or horn. 8909's lights work fine out of consist, but nothing when consisted. Part of the issue is that I have no idea what I'm doing. Control is a Gaugemaster Prodigy Express. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroad

After congratulating myself on the SD40-2 decoder fit, I discovered tonight that it has no lights, and damaged it trying to fix it. The speed matching is good with 8909, bur there are issues. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroad #railwaymodelling

I love the Rock Island loco but I'd doesn't match with anything else I have. I'll probably fit it with a decoder again in the future. Now to pair the CSX locomotives. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroad

So this evening I've taken the Tsunami Econami board out of my Rock Island SD40 and fitted it in the CSX locomotive. The other one has the Econami board as well so hopefully they'll consist quite easily. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroad

HO scale Athearn Ready to Roll SD40-2 in CSX livery
A bit of a side project this evening. I picked up an Athearn Ready to Roll SD40-2 super cheap on Ebay to consist with the one I already have. It's DCC fitted but no sound, and I really want to get them working together. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroad

Big news that Accurascale have acquired Heljan! Probably makes a lot of sense - the Heljan brand was pretty tarnished after their iffy 45 and bobbins 47s. Now being sold off at 100 quid a pop (tempting though?). The next wave of 86s have been re-priced sensibly too (definitely tempting!). #BSMRGUK

Now the 222s are confirmed for two more operators, I wonder if they're a strong contender for an RTR model. Plenty of livery options, and suitable for modellers spanning several decades... #BSMRGUK

Proto2000 axle with split gears
Replacement Walthers wheelsets
Replacement wheelsets fitted into the trucks.
I decided to give the loco a run on the rolling road before painting. It quickly started to run rough, and that turned out to be split gears. Replacements ordered from the American Railroad Centre in Bodmin. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #kitbash #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading

Platform 6 is now in place and taking trains. The track has to be glued down, and the Platform extended. #BSMRGUK

The current layout is bases on the Domtar Paper Mill at Port Huron, different elements used to create the scene. There's still a lot to do on this one, but now it's up I should be able to get on with it. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #scratchbuild #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading

I've finally managed to get my current (temporary) layout semi-permanently set up above my workbench, so at last I can run trains and see how much work I have to do, not least repairing damage from storage. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #scratchbuild #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading

The final stages of the cab and short hood build. I've salvaged grab irons, lift rings (replacing ones I broke), filler cap and horn from the donor GP9 short hood, and am now pretty much ready to paint. #hoscale #modelrailway #modeltrains #kitbash #187scale #bsmrguk #modelrailroading
