WEATHERING
Gateshead depot was well known
for the workstained appearance
of its diesel locomotives in the
1960s. Tim Shackleton shows how
to achieve this in ‘OO’ scale using a
Bachmann ‘Peak’ as the basis.

LIFT OUT BRIDGE
Crossing entrance doors presents
interesting layout construction
challenges. Nigel Burkin shows how
to overcome them with his solution
for a permanent home layout.

DIGITAL SOUND
Applying transfers to kit built and
ready-to-run models can present
problems, but using readily available
products from the Humbrol range
can help, as Mike Wild shows.
Small locomotives can make highly
rewarding digital sound projects.
Paul Chetter explains how a full
sound and ‘stay alive’ system can
be installed in Bachmann’s highly
regarded BR ‘3MT’ 2-6-2T.
