Burning Brakes!


Dukedog

If the entry title sound familiar, then it is!

 

Some time ago on the previous incarnation of RMWeb Neil Ripley of Walker Marine fame produced a model of a burnt out BR brake van.

I was inspired by his modelling to have a go myself. Here are the results.

Hi Frank,

 

Welcome to the world of blogs, I was just about to reply to your intro. when I caught sight of your entry here.

 

The brake van looks really good but I hope nothing else goes up in smoke at Pen-Y-Bont ? A smoke unit placed under the baseboard would give a nice effect at exhibitions or have you already done that ?

 

Could I suggest you post some news of the new extension and some more views of the loco shed as I am sure an update would be welcome.

 

Looking forward to seeing more of your work soon,

 

Cheers,

 

Geoff.

A picture while it was still alight would have been more interesting - could you do another, please?:laugh:

 

Seriously, it looks fantastic!

Cheers Geoff,

Nice to hear from you, will be in touch again soon.

 

No, definitely NO smoke units! I'm not much into gimmicks like that.

To be honest these gimmicks put me off some layouts, especially if it's overdone. I've made my feelings known about this elsewhere on RMWeb and been slapped for it so I won't say much more heresmile3.gif.

 

As for the new extension, It's not even started yet! soon as I do something worth showing it will be here on Blog or layout thread.

 

I will add the loco shed build to the blog soon.

 

Cheers

Frank
