Not much happened


Dave at Honley Tank

305 views

Sorry folks, very little has been happening at Honley Tank, with the possible exception of preparing the five brake vans, the K3 & the ‘Crab’ for entering the competition at Manchester show.

What with involvement with Expo EM North at Slaithwaite taking up a long weekend and then Manchester MRS’s ‘do’ this coming weekend, there’s been little time left for actual modelling.

Actually, as I write, I’m only hoping to be at the MMRS show. A harsh dose of sinusitis has had me laid-up for best part of a week, and my recovery is not so quick as I had hoped.

If you visit the Manchester show then ask for me at the demonstration stand. That’s where I will base myself, but I am demonstrating only for the first two hours each day unless demonstrators prove to be in short supply. I’ll have my totally scratch built J10 project with me.

Hope to be back to normal input shortly!!!

J10, as in the ex GCR loco of that ilk? Are there photos of it on RM Web anywhere? Hope you feel better.....

Alastair,

Sorry my wording has mis-led you. Any photos of my J10 project would be little more than pictures of sheet nickel silver!

That's not quite true in as much as the tender has an almost finished appearance but very little of the loco is even started. My aim this weekend is to start transfering paper drawing dimensions to sheet metal, but only as demo. I was many years ago adviced by my mentors -" Don't take any real modelling to the demonstration stand; take some thing which will raise questions from the punters. If you try modelling under demo conditions you'll spend the following week un-modelling!"

Yes it is an ex GC loco.

Make yourself known if you get to Fallowfield.

Regards.
