Kingsbridge Branch N

The buildings are looking great and when bedded in will look the dogs proverbials. I wish I could have seen it at Taunton.

Won't fit in the car, I only took SBL. I had such trouble getting the prairies to work it had put me off Kingsbridge a bit as they are the minstay of the motive power on the branch.

Thanks for kind comments, after your build in 4mm I am thinking about getting the vents for the station roof etched.

Hind site is such a great thing and I wish I had gone the route of etched rooflights. It would have made it so much easier, and I could have got the valances done at the same time. I am still looking to get these as they are distinctive to the branch. Any ideas on how tall they were. Judging by pictures I estimate them to be about 3ft tall. Just need to see what else I might put on the etch with them.

Which ones? Scale link do a platform valence etch.

I was looking at the platform valance. I did look at Scale Link but from what I could see they do not match those on the Kingsbridge branch. I suppose I could cheat and use a standard GWR valance as Salcombe was completed late in the developmengt of the branch. Modellers licence. :-)

In 2mm you can get away with that stuff! Any difference is too small to see, to me at least.

if you wan't a hand with the running issues give me a shout Tom.

Took 4561 apart last night and swapped the chip plus cleaned the inside. This should have improved the running. I will pm you when the yard is ready and we will have a test day.
