Hi Jo,

 

My dear Pet loco, although a little small here, seems to come along nicely.

 

Regards, Michel

Hiya Michel,

I'd never have put you with an interest in this loco....

Sadly it won't have DCC sound, smoke and lights (or DCC at all for that matter) but it is the easiest route to a 59 in N

Catch you soon

Jo,

 

First time I encountered this project, so have missed out on progress, approach and details.

Is yours similar to Grahame Hedges ARC one ?

 

I'm coming over in June.

Arriving Monday 7th, over changeover at Bath Spa and Westbury, arriving 16.41 Castle Cary.

Staying the night a Paul's.

Tuesday 8th, will be heading towards Devon and Cornwall / Falmouth, with an 8 day Freedom of the South West rover ticket.

Going to explore the lines, and doing research of Falmouth Docks station, as I'm modelling that, afterall.

Likely going to book two or three nights into a cheap B&B near Falmouth Docks station.

Will come back to Paul's late-ish Thursday 10th or early-ish Friday 11th.

Friday is recovery/preparation day, before Showcase.

Driving up with Paul on Saturday 12th, and back on Sunday 13th.

On Monday 14th, I'll move to Mark Begley.

Staying there until Thursday 17th or Friday 18th, then over to Steve Rogers in Curry Rivel.

I'm heading back to the Netherlands on Wednesday 23rd, ex-Westbury @ 11.38.

Out of the 8 travelling days, I will use 3 or 4 for the deep SW.

And again 1 to get to Mark in Cheltenham.

Not planned how to get from Mark to Steve.

So from Tuesday 15th to Tuesday 22nd, have still got some days to travel trains.

Two are for envisaged plans / visits in Worcester and Stourport-on-Severn.

The others, who knows .................

 

Hope to meet you, somewhere, somehow.

You're welcome along, to whatever ............

 

 

Regards, Michel

Another one of those epic trips, eh?

I don't know if you remember the 3D printed wagon I had down at Demfest last year? This shell is produced using the same technology, the work is covered here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10057&start=234 The butchered 66 I had with me is similar to Grahame's project, though there is still a long way to go with that one yet

HTH
