Last week I completed the pair of series 1 Troublesome trucks. These are repaints of Farish 7 Plank wagons and the eyes are spares from a custom set if Annie and Clarabel faces I had made a few years ago. Really happy with how these have turned out. #ThomasModular #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte

The plank wagons have begun! I had 2 more 7 plankers arrive this week and I've already dismantled and got them in Primer. Plan is to do these pair as the wagons seen in series 1 with the decal faces. Watch this space! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

With the wiring finished attention can be switched to scenics. First job here has been adding Fascias but I've also started building up the tunnel itself. With a cheeky access hole thrown in for good measure. #NGauge #ThomasModular #Ttte #Thomas

More wiring this past week! I've attached the panel to the middle board with a clamp to know how long I'm needing to make the wires, and this has enabled me to wire in a 9-way D plug so it can be easily disconnected and moved to the opposite side of the board if needed. #NGauge #ThomasModular #Ttte

Well this week I've been wiring up and installing SEEP point motors to the tunnel boards. 6 wires added to each motor then to a choc-block to make them easy to swap out if one fails. All power feeds and frogs connected, just need to make a control panel.

A bit more progress on the Modular this week. A shuffle around in the garage has seen the Tunnel module be re-erected in full and the Eastern portal has had most of its track ballasted. We'll see how we go in the next few weeks! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular #Ttte

A biggish update on Project C! I've been working on 7 of the other wagons and these are now just awaiting decals (that I will be ordering when funds allow). This lot is 3 LNER Vans, 2 Salt Vans and 2 7 Plank Opens. It's slowly getting there! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

This week has seen work commence on the other modules. All boards have had the track sprayed with sleeper grime and ballasting has then begun on the tunnel. For now I've only started on the plain track as I don't want to do the points until I've fitter motors to them. #NGauge #Thomas #ThomasModular

Another wagon off the workbench for Project C! This is a simple conversion of a Farish Bogie Bolster as I've done before, but painted white! Now need to work out how to do the load. Well the white poles will be plastruct, unsure on how to do the tent! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

The first Circus wagons are done! Here we have a pair of Cattle Vans, these started offering as Farish GW examples and have been resprayed and lined. I first attempted to paint the red lining but I didn't like the look so decals it was. Many more wagons to do! #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular #Ttte

Forgot to post this last weekend! I've built a fence for the PECO #RAIL200 board! I knew keeping the Maunsell underframes would come in handy! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

Finished off the third Red coach this week. Paul kindly sent me a replacement body for the damaged one and ots now had its handles painted, glazing and roof fitted, and it's chassis put underneath. Nice little rake that looks great with a red engine! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

This week I've been doing things the Great Western way! Back in December I told Daughter No.1 I would make her a Duck for her layout (I had a Farish 57XX to hand). The main colouring has been done and just transfers and the face to finish off. #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular

Some new tankers this week! Found a pair of Farish 14T tanks I forgot I had so a quick repaint into white to bolster the fleet. These are based off the early series pics attached. #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular

At long last I've completed the last Express Coach for Pete, 2 Red and 3 Green ready to go! Now I think that's enough Express coaches for one year! I think something a bit more straightforward next to get me back in the swing of things.
Watch this space! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

Some more progress on the PECO #RAIL200 competition. This week has seen the mod-roc added to the hills and a base coat of brown applied. Having small children paid dividends as I 'borrowed' some of their brown poster paint! #TMRGUK #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular

The PECO #RAIL200 challenge is certainly coming together now! I've finished the land forming for the second embankment and had some scenics delivered that has allowed me to get this section ballasted. Next step is to mod-roc the hills!

2 more of Pete's Express coaches left the workbench this week with the Green Composites being completed. This now means 4 out of the 5 he asked me to do are now done and the final Green brake is currently in pieces ready for body modifications! Lots to do! #Thomas #NGauge #Ttte #ThomasModular

My Peco Rail200 board has been built! I'm going to be doing the Scenic version and use it as an excuse to make another module for the Thomas Modular layout! This will become the field where James broke his vacpipe and needed a bootlace!

This week Ollie has been busy and the remaining track laid on the Tunnel Module. This module is of Henry's Tunnel and will feature both portals. Next job for this is to wire up the track and give it a test! #Thomas #NGauge #ThomasModular #Ttte
