I did have to clean the wheels on this particular freight car - quite dirty with tiny pieces of white styrene stuck to the wheels. With that said, these are excellent, smooth tracking, very well detailed models.

Jez,What a great addition to a great layout..
Re: Harrington. - jeznew - 06-18-2011
Its about time I posted another update. I have not done a great deal to the layout, but Harrington had another outing to the TVNAM exhibition last weekend, so I had been busy preparing for that. A fellow modeller (More of a modelling guru actually) had suggested that the Transload siding could be used for other traffic. After playing around with the idea, here is what I have come up with (I realise that the freight cars and vehicles may not go together and that other unloading equipment would be required, but I have been experimenting):
![[Image: IMG_1187.jpg]](http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff464/Jeznew/IMG_1187.jpg)
5005 spots a shorty tank car on to the siding.

A hopper containing fine sand for a local glass manufacturer waits to be unloaded.

Another hopper containing a fine powder product sits ready to be emptied.
Still playing around with ideas, so more traffic to be added soon.
Enjoy and if you have chance, take a look at lawleystreet.com - my first attempt at a web site.

Well, its been a long time since Iv'e posted on the forum, so here is a quick update:
Harrington has been dusted of and a few small improvements have been made ready for the Derby, UK, exhibition next weekend. Another switching layout is in the process of being built ready for the TVNAM exhibition in June (Again in the UK).
Here are a few updated piccies of Harrington:

Looking good Jez. Are those buildings painted in Humbrol Desert Sand by any chance?
Re: Harrington. - Tyson Rayles - 05-07-2012
Looks great, as mentioned just add some weathering and weeds and what have you.
Re: Harrington. - alcanman - 05-08-2012
Hi Jez,
Great to see Harrington again, always looks good. Also, it gave me the idea to use Walthers 'Magic Pan Bakeries' kit as the basis of Publix (plastics facility) on my new Deerfield Beach, FL
layout. Lawley St looks great too.
regards,
Mal

Are those switch stands operational,or decorative?
Re: Harrington. - jeznew - 12-11-2012
Purely decorative, the switches are operated by under the baseboard switch motors and push to make switches.
The switch stands are in kit form from Central Valley Models.
