RMweb Premium Annie Posted February 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2018 Beautiful work with those transfers Gary I hope things improve for you soon. Health issues can be bad enough as I well know, but when combined with the circumstances of one's life going pear shaped as well it can all get a bit too much.

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted February 17, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks Killian!! Another beautiful picture! You'll have me taking Oak Hill back another 50 years at this rate!!!!! I am getting there. It helps that I have plenty of things to take my mind off real life! Including artwork like this!

Edwardian Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I hope things start looking up for you soon Gary, in the interim, I always find a bit of pre grouping artwork lifts the spirits It would have been a train not unlike this, probably with that very class of Crampton in charge, that was subjected to the first Great Train Robbery (later inventively fictionalised in print and on celluloid, but actually based on a real-life mid-Victorian heist). Hooped skirts not ideal for sitting on a stile. As ever, I defer to your greater expertise ..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Observation, not experience... Then you must mix in strange and interesting circles, or, rather, hoops.

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted February 18, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18, 2018 Oh look a topic needing dragging back on topic!!!! Luckily I have just the thing!!!! My new arrival!!!! Fresh from Hatton's!!!! With thanks to a link from Sarahagain!!!! I finally have something I should have had a long time ago!!!! Yes it is an.... ....LBSC Umber E4!!!! and it was only £80 brand new!!!! Right now that we have an on topic post, I had best go and get on with something on Brighthelmstone again!!!!

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted February 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18, 2018 Quick I'd better drag it off topic again then.... Here's an update on 15050. I've now added the cab sides and the bunker flairs. I've also squared off the tank tops, and extended them at the front (adding little bits of lead inside the plasticard... every little helps!) and filed out the spectacles so that they are square. I'm not sure she had the bogie splashers last time, but she does now. So that leaves the cab roof, and then the cab interior to do, some filling and the chassis to detail, should be done by Christmas! Andy G 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted February 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2018 Nope, its just a bodge of a terrier and as I started mentioning it here, I thought I'd drop in and give updates... Its 15050, ex HR, so from a little further north of the Thames. Andy G 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Corbs Posted February 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2018 Clever stuff, my knowledge of pre grouping locos is somewhat lacking, I'm afraid. It does remind me of 'Dunrobin', though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium uax6 Posted February 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2018 Pre-dates Dunrobin, this being a Jones design, although clearly based on Stroudley's Lochgorm terriers (which the A1 class was based on). She lasted well putting in nigh on 50 years of work before being cut up, which isn't bad for a one off. Originally a saddle tank, she was rebuilt as a side tank fairly quickly. Just a chance glance through a book and I caught in the corner of the eye a picture of her looking just like a terrier, and with a bit of digging, I found that she really was very close, so an old K's terrier was bought and the bodging commenced... I'll do a full write up in my loco thread at some point and she'll also appear in the k's loco thread at some point too. Andy G 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted February 20, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2018 Good news!! I didn't put the Terrier away and forget about it so I have another update!!!! Before I put the Terrier back together I thought I should give it a crew! So out came the AC Stadden Edwardian Loco crew. Including postage this pack is cheaper than the newly announced Hattons P Class crew!! and it has 3 locos worth! and they can be posed, and have correct details!! So I choose some parts and put a driver and fireman together. And with a bit of paint we had a crew for the Terrier With the crew put together it was time to reassemble the loco, so I now have quite a good looking, SE&CR Tank engine stud! The workbench is currently covered with bits for Brighthelmstone but I may get some more Oak Hill bits on there as well!!

RMweb Premium Annie Posted February 27, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2018 A very fine looking group of tank engines they are too. I like the SECR livery as applied to their tank engines. It always seemed to me to have an air of solid practicality about it that's very appealing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted February 27, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thanks Annie! SE&CR livery really does suit tank engines very well! Once I get my O1 finished I will have 2 SE&CR tender engines to go with them. Gary 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
