    A Cautionary tale (Jon Gavin, Peakdale works)

    in Weathering, Painting & Transfers

    Posted

    i am a friend of jons and i am going to clear up a few things

     

    firstly jon has asked Mr Barnes for his bank details so that he can refund his money and send back his goods

     

    secondly why everybody feels the need to get invoved is beyond me IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU and i politley ask that you STOP SLANDERING jon now

     

    thirdly jons car is in bits and has been since 2016 not that this is of any concern / business to anyone and whom ever put the reg plate on social media needs to remove it if jon wants to put his car as his cover picture that again is upto him and no one else this is a huge violation of jons privacy and needs to be removed with immediate effect before legal action is taken

     

    fourthly you have only heard one side of this story and i kindly ask for you to keep your opinions to yourself i am not going to go into the state of jons mental health as it has nothing to do with anyone

     

    lastly i ask that the post is respectivly removed and people stop getting involved this has now been blown well out of proportion due to everyone giving their ten pence worth this matter is between jon and Mr Barnes / the solicitors and this will also be added to the growing file of misconduct against jon just like the last topic a few years ago was but he choose to leave it as its just all pethetic and increasingly seems hes dealing with arm chair warriors and childishmen more and more

     

    Thankyou

    All new RTR PGA wagon in 4mm scale

    Thanks, there are a few departmental wagons to consider.

     

     

    some interesting suggestions Richard.

     

     

    The PWA would be a good one, especially with opening doors!

     

    Hi guys, yes I've seen others have now mentioned the Bardon Aggregates too! A colourful interesting livery with other variants of liverys there after but it would be the mustard and green for me... wat a wagon those are love them well love anything aggregates tbh ;)

    Hi guys heres my wish list ;)

     

    JGA RMC curved top could also be used as the ECC Quarries variant

    Bardon Aggregates early hexagon chassis style

    PGA Tilcon with extened top

    Clyde Cement bogie cement tanks either..

    PBA blue dowlow polybulk, this one again could be used for the roofed or open version

    Last but definately not least PBA Potash "Jolly Green Giant"

     

    Cheers. :)

    Interesting another SEA hood.....

     

    My modeller Jon who does all my scratch building, casting and re-sprays etc.... released the same SEA hood also as above a while back i've just asked him to do me a few finished wagons basically one of each type and different styles, running numbers and of course the green bodied later version :)

     

    So i'll link his email here if you require the custom decal sheet hes had all the artwork now done for these and it really does look excellent in the un finished pics hes sent me "attached below

     

    Also if you wanted to see his style of hood? Anyway hes contactable here jongavin1979@googlemail.com and will give you any details you need or info as hes become quite the wagon buff nowadays and has given me some excelent none available wagons to fill the gap in the RTR range with more exciting beasts to follow hes said in the new year :)

     

    Cheers

    "Hi Kevin

     

    A fantastic layout, full of atmosphere and lovely detail. I really like the variety of train loads and just how evocative of the era they are.

     

    I was interested to see the timber wagons in post #1229, can I ask what you have used to create the logs? I assume it is a real life plant? Also, what did you use to create the red strapping?

     

    Cheera

    Paul"

     

    These wagons and their loads are at least 25 years old,  they are Cambrian Kits and the loads are a result of a trip to the New Forest where various twigs were collected and then cut into individual lenths to fit into the loadspace as can be seen, the red strapping is car masking tape cut into thin strips after being painted.

     

    Thanks Paul.

    Superb shots and footage fela,

    I think what was it 6 people who wanted the yellow version.... think they need to be named and shamed now lol

     

    Well i've bought a couple this year one for 14 quid an the other 20.00 both are now Railfreight red.

     

    The costs in China are making things hard work very much so now but if you find the right engineer who has his very own workshop anything is possible :)

     

    Of note the ex appleby co2's have been popping up on that auction site the last two months and none sold for less than 155.00 each.... a pair sold for 157.00 two quid more lol fun times, so basically a bit of drain pipe and white metal chassis and ends can fetch that wow is all i'm saying.

    Peak Forest Layout and Stock/Locos

    in Layout topics

    Posted

    Can't wait to see this develop, sooo many layouts now based on this area but dependant on stock and the included incline this will be the one to watch! :)

     

    I'm curtainly following with interest and if its shed free and has the stock what was epic up there i.e PHV ICI's and KPA JGA "correct version etc.... i'll be in love.

     

    Just want to see a Peak Forest layout thats based there, shed free and shows the varied stock even if scratch built and heavilly modified that would be the winner for me anyways.

     

    Thanks

    Where do you think it is wrong? Looks pretty close to this: http://www.wildboarmodels.co.uk/resources/PHV%20PH.png.opt684x456o0%2C0s684x456.png

    Sorry Roy i just can't see it matching to that real rusted to death version you linked, i'm not a fan of anything weathered to buy tbh loco's or stock i was just voiceing what i thought, i'll be doing the colour myself anyways to match my current 9 brass and resin ones :)

    Just a query over the shade of grey on the models. I appreciate these are still under evaluation but have a look at the 3 photos of ICIM 19134 on Huw Millington's Private Owner Wagons Flickr site - it should give you some idea of what the ex-works grey livery was in the mid 1980s period.

    Paul

     

    Evening matey, these won't be the right colour no matter how there done! The light grey ex works / Claire's grey i'm told by Ex BX drivers? Is easilly mixed by using DRS smoke grey and toned up or down depending on preference? For the rusty dirty filthy brown, Sleeper Grime is a good match! :)
