Nearholmer Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Aha, yes, the gentleman concerned is a member of the ‘classic 0 gauge’ forum, and regales us with wonderful films on a regular basis. If you search ‘nothscot’ On YouTube, you can see some of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 I've posed the same question, not that I'm actually sure what colour B&M engines were. Some sort of red? Hopefully, I should be able to post pictures of the pilot model later, because Paul is bringing it to a meeting this afternoon. The big issue is whether I can resist having more than one, or end up getting a bit carried away, as happened with the Terriers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Carne Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I've decided to get thoroughly carried away Nearholmer! Whether I get as carried away as I did with Pauls Terriers remains to be seen, but I think that the limiting factor as ever will be funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Ah, funds! As I think I might have said, expensive remedial dentistry has been putting a brake on other, more pleasant, spending for some months. Final 'down in the mouth' day this Thursday, if things go to plan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervyn Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 According to my absorbed engines book the B&M Livery was red ,then states almost a dark chocolate colour??? another minefield of "thinned then heat treated colour!....why not paint em black and have done with it !...any chance of a video of the new arrival? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Should have a video within a few days, but here it is on the strict understanding that this is the manufacture approval sample, so is subject to check and change.

Nearholmer Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 And, a few more from yesterday’s gathering. The loco with the lamp is for Brian. The 4-4-4T is highly unusual, being an original Hornby electric - 99+% of these were clockwork. The Portsmouth unit is exley/BL. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) I think Shebas were only the Tin Hal, weren’t they? So no, it’s a 3-Sub, as rendered by ACE. K Edited October 31, 2017 by Nearholmer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) I plead relative youth, too. But, on reflection I think the name might have applied to the few all-steel SUBS with domed fronts. Certainly I don't ever remember anyone calling the 'flat' fronted ones that. Anyway, about fifteen or twenty years ago, ACE made 3-car sets for SR, Watford DC, and Met. I've got the SR one, and it is one of the few toy trains ever to be bought in Fortnum & Mason, because ACE ran a Christmas layout there. I've only ever been in that shop once, I hasten to add; a railway engineer's salary never did run to foie gras and the like!

brianusa Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) <<The loco with the lamp is for Brian.>> There are a lot of Brians here from time to time so should it be me, as my preference for lamps stuck in the middle of the smoke box is well known and the picture is appreciated. Also its a County as well; a pity they were all gone before my time. Brian. Edited October 31, 2017 by brianusa 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockershovel Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I do like that Adams 4-4-2T, they seem to be in vogue at present.... handsome designs 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Carne Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I understand from Paul that the "excitement" surrounding the different OO gauge versions of the Adams Radial tanks was a big factor in choosing to go with this, so maybe we can look forward to an H class and birdcage set in the future? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Circulation has been restored! After something like two months, I've reinstated the main circuit. Electrical connection is currently(!) by means of an unholy string of crocodile-clip leads, but it works, and I hope to get time to make proper connections tomorrow. The curve connecting Paltry Circus to the main circuit has yet to be laid, and may have to wait another week or two.

Nearholmer Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Electrical connection is now slightly less unholy, but, considering what my profession is, the electrics on the layout really do prove that a cobbler’s child has no shoes. This evening, I spent a pleasant hour playing trains. Edited November 14, 2017 by Nearholmer 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Right, it's about time we wallowed in a bit of nostalgia for someone else's past again. I came upon the picture below, and had to include it here, because the young chap looks incredibly like I did at the same age, right down to the wire-rimmed glasses, and because he is playing with a Hornby loco that I have now; not the actual one he's playing with, you understand; but one exactly like it. Did he grow-up to be a life long toy train enthusiast, I wonder? Probably not. The other photos are the trains I was playing with this evening ...... pity that there seems to be no effective way to control the point of focus or depth of field on an iPhone camera. I can only apologise for the kitsch sweetie-tin houses. Edited November 16, 2017 by Nearholmer 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 To a young lad, the seductive picture (not that kind of seduction!) of toy trains in action would be an encouragement to be involved and no doubt pleas were entertained in the weeks before his birthday. It is more than likely we all followed the same routine whether it be for birthdays or Christmas thanks to pictures such as this. Brian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
