Scaleforum


The Fatadder

Not long left until Scaleforum....

I am going to be helping Mike Anson with the D&E Modelling demonstration at the show (I will be covering the post privatisation era).

 

I am rather limited as to what I can bring as for the next 4 months I will be renting a room while I wait for the construction on my new place to be finished. As a result there is no space for any model stuff, all the stuff I will be taking to Scaleforum must fit in a single sports bag out of the way (and small enough to be carried on the train.)

 

I need to take a small number of finished locos to display, along with a couple of projects to work on.

 

At the moment I am planning to bring along a set of Lima Super GUVs which I am rebuilding with new bogies & correct underframes, hopefully a DRS 20 to Shawplan up (if I can find a cheap Bachmann 20 to cut up) and possibly some PGAs to convert into Gunnels. (one of which will probably be left out.)

 

Along with that there will be a couple of locos, but other than my Vi Trains Fraggonset 47 (or the GWT one if I get a chance to finish painting it in time) It's a strugel trying to work out what is interesting enough to bring.....

 

While this will probably be my last bit of modelling until I move into my place in December, it should be a good weekend!

Saw your name in lights in REx this month! Any photos of progress of layout, structures or stock to share at all Rich? :)

Unfortunately not a lot really, Most of the modelling I have finished in the last month has just been to prepare stuff I want to sell into a sellable condition...

Other than Scaleforum I wont be able to do any modelling until I move to my new place in December as the room I am renting in the mean time just dosnt have space (and I doubt my housemates would be too happy if I took over the kitchen table!).

 

Will try and remember to get some photos sorted of the Gunnel conversions I will be working on at Scaleforum...

 

As for the layout, its sadly had to be placed on hold for the foreseeable, would have fitted the spare room nicely but I will need to rent it out to help with the mortgage... I may look again at some small space ideas in the new year, but tbh I doubt anything would happen with that as small track plans have always failed to keep me interested in the past.
