Pugsley's Workbench

Awesome! One day, I promise, one day I'll build one myself. I think we need a RMWeb group 7mm layout for all of us droolers to run the stock on! Everytime I see one of Brian's threads I find myself drueling! I look forward to seeing how you progress with this...

 

Did we ever see the tamper finished btw?

Erm no, as it's still not finished :icon_redface: :icon_redface: Perhaps I should be getting on with that as a break from the 455 instead of starting something new...

Uh oh, you've done it now.....

 

The majority of snow and ice may have gone, but it seems there's still a slippery slope near you.....

Was the kit you purchased for an unrefurbished 37? I thought JLTRT did both variants..

 

I'll be watching this with interest too

Cheers. I did purchase a refurbished version, but it appears that the bodysides are common to all types of the kit, with just the cabs being different between the refurbished and unrefurbished versions.

 

That reminds me, I must check the cabs later to make sure they're the right ones

Nice choice of livery for this Intercity mainline 37s are not modelled often enough IMO

Are you going to try and do the 'Mt Fuji' name for it aswell? I wanted to do this in 4mm but could find a decent picture of the name to work from.

Am I right in assuming youve chosen 415 as it worked china clay /speedlink in cornwall

 

You should have a go at the class 50 kit next - most enjoyable!

The panels you've marked for removing are all to do with the train heating boiler - the small rectangular ones above the steps are a blanked off hole for filling the boiler from platform height (and as built the locos had a round hole with a flap for this purpose) , the larger panel by the grille is also adjacent to where the boiler would be located at no 2 end , not entirely sure of it's purpose.

You are a weak man Pugs!

 

I look forward to seeing this machine finished.

 

To be honest if JLTRT were to produce a 56 or 60 I too would succumb!

Thanks for the lowdown on what all those bits are - all now gone

Absolutely - there are definitely not enough IC Mainline 37's around, and I'm fairly certain that this is going to be the first one in S7

 

I'm modelling it in 1991 condition, so it didn't have the Mt Fuji name at that point, but did have a nice Thornaby Kingfisher, despite being allocated to Tinsley Nothing to do with the china clay either, I'm afraid - the eventual layout plan is set in the North West (so no 50's either ) and I wanted a fairly nondescript example of one of Tinsley's wandering RfD 37's in IC Mainline.

Good man choosing S7, it's the way forward !! :icon_thumbsup2:

Well, I sort of wish that I'd gone for P4, instead of EM for 4mm scale, so I'm not going to make the same mistake twice - just completely new ones!
