Hi All

 

Whilst getting ready for Rainhill this coming weekend I got my hands on a couple of fellow members locos to Mucky up a bit!!

 

So first up and although slightly out of era and obviously working down from Scotland to collect Thorne Yards Ploughs is Andys 26037

So if you're in the area this weekend pop along and say hello! We'll be easily identifiable (if the shirts get done in time!!!)

 

 

Regards

Hi James

I'm exactly the same with Midlands based layout but as we're looking at a layout based on Stranraer- who knows???

Dave love the hoover! I think its about Time I got me another one, The weathering is top class! not too over the top and realistic looking Have you thought of replacing some of the Parts on your hoover, like the Louvres or the incorrect windows?

Hi Guys

 

Thanks for the positive comments I always work from photos and take as much weathering off as I put on!

 

Nick- The 50 isn't mine, mores the pity!! It's a fellow exhibitors I just got my hands in it!!! But yes I would replace the louvres, cab windows and grill!!! I know Simon speaks with Brian at Shawplan so this might get retrospectively done!!! I'm in the middle of correcting a Hornby grid with extreme etchings but a bit aprehensive about spraying the loco as the grills are so fine!!! I'll get this weekends out the way and then post the progress as a blog along with a couple of other projects including the sound and light 08!!!

 

Regards

Hi,

 

the 50 looks great Dave. First time i have been on the net this week due to the move. Just need to fit the sound to it now as its doner is sat waiting. Might be a job for Saturday morning wink.gif biggrin.gif

 

Nick- it is hand to get a little work done but it all depends on how i am feeling when i start it as i think it would mean a respray to tie it all together. Time will tell.
