January Update

A New Year and time for a brief update.

 

First up my second Schools renaming/renumbering is complete (picture posted in my gallery) 30919 Harrow is a welcome newcomer to my fleet.

 

The etched smokebox numberplate finally arrived from Fox Transfers for my Q1 33040 and that's now been fitted.

 

Currently completed and awaiting photographs is my reworked Rebuilt Battle of Britain 34089 602 Squadron this will be put up for auction on ebay at some point. This loco was intended for my ex-client (dodgy dove house jag dealer), but as he couldn't be honest, it's going on ebay like the last three - it was very satisfying to see them go for good money and to good homes ;).

 

Just stripped into parts to start it's process of weathering is sister Rebuilt BofB 34071 601 Squadron another one intended for my ex-client. I think there's just two more to go after that one.

 

I've still got to fit etched plates to one of my LN's (30865 Sir John Hawkins) which is going to be a pain in the bum to put it mildly.

 

Then I've finally got a Rebuilt West Country to do which I haven't done yet, this time it's 34004 Yeovil

 

Till next time Jim

Jim,

 

I'm working on two Schools at present: 30921 and 30933, plus a couple of Castles.

 

My next rebuilt Bulleid for Ebay will be 34048 Crediton, plus originals: 34092, 34007 and 34102 later.

 

I have one Bachmann A2 listed currently (60527 Sun Chariot) and I have another (60535) which has just been renumbered, together with an A4: William Whitelaw, based on Hornby's Woodcock.

 

It's the usual mayhem here, I have about twelve locos (and a coach set or two) in various stages of completion.

 

I think I've done all of the rebuilt Bulleids you mention, certainly 34004 (at least twice) and 34071, but Im not sure about 34089, take a look at my Bulleid gallery for photos of some of my productions over the past few years: http://www.mattingleycustom.com/GalleryBulleid.html

 

I'm pleased you're getting fair reward after the Jag incident; it's good to be busy doing something you enjoy!

You've done 34089 and I've done the four that you've mentioned. I've only got 19 left to do out of the entire class, which is a bit of a shock, that's not counting duplications either!

 

I might have a go at coaches this year, if I can get a set of Bachmann MK1's in Crimson and Cream I want to do a southern set that lasted late in that colour (complete with bogie change)

 

I'm rubbing his nose in it to put it mildly ;) I'm doing it to keep me sane and it's better than doing overtime at work.

Good to see you carry on with the Bulleids Jim , I not had any since Manston but hope to get this year from the Hornby 2011 range R2967 BR 4-6-2 ‘Lamport & Holt Line’ Rebuilt Merchant Navy Class - Late BR and I also hope for unrebuilt 34015 Swanage plus I cant choose if to have 34066 Spitfire or 34051 Winston Churchill,

 

Cheers

James
