[Keeping 26043 alive.....No1 end.....you get the picture]

I recall reference to  a BRB board memo to Regional management "requesting" an upping of the game as works were overwhelmed with locos ex depot accidents with 10% of main line fleet stopped waiting repairs.  Thus more than likely most preserved locos have crash repairs. From one of the dmu restoration repair gangs was note to a BR standard that said up to 1Kg was the maximium amount of filler to be used at any one location on a vehicle during minor repairs - I guess fear that if it came loose and fell much more, at speed would really hurt! - one showed a chair leg/ broom handle inserted in vehicle to make the rounded edge, mother of invention and all that. 

Stories of depots "refreshing" yellow ends at weekends being keen does perhaps it was a bit of a cover up for a dink on depot being truly covered up!

Brilliant work , amazing that 17 odd coaches can give so much fun.  The cad work is a great skill and the printers have come on leaps and bounds.   I will have to keep an eye on this Blog ! 

 

Happy modelling

Boards doubled up with second set - thanks - painted to seal and now locked in Wales....  track mainly ready as are buildings thanks to Pop designs lazer work and 3D prints.  Stock mainly done - couplings on wagons to start.  I suspect you will get more done this year  in 7mm.

Looking good ,  I do feel that your rough mock ups beat my modelling hands down . I look forward to seeing this "micro" develop.   

take care and stay safe.

Brilliant insight - thanks . I guess its a Haines manual moment " reassembly is reverse of above."
