  1. Looks superb Alex, will enjoy seeing it at SWAG. Martyn
  2. The J15 pulls in with a pair of ex GE six wheelers, no more Ratio bodges! This was quite a difficult shot to get as the carriages are longer than the ex GWR hacks used previously.
  3. Last night I found the videos on detailing rtr coaches, in my case how to fit etched sides to the slab sided Hornby models. I have two to do and the videos will make it so much easier. These are an excellent series too, delivered in your unique style. I will watch the rest later. I did watch them late at night with a glass of whiskey or 'Dad's patent cold repellent' as it is known in our house, and yes I did sleep well. Thanks Tony
  4. The chassis building video is how I built my first successful Comet chassis, when I tackle a full kit I will certainly be coming back to this series, they are excellent. Martyn
  5. Last of the 1960s photos for a while before I put the steamers back on. Nothing exciting, just that class 10 shunter again, no excitement for any local spotters if any could be bothered.
  6. My East Anglian Upbech saga is three connected micro layouts that do go out to exhibitions once or twice a year and fit into my small hatchback. Everything is easily handled as I usually do exhibitions on my own, I haven't belonged to a club since I was 16, around 44 years ago. I did it all and everything is either kit, scratch built or modified rtr in EM. It's all my fault! Martyn
  7. And I need to go on an LNER BG recognition course. Thinking @31As superb modelling was a Bachmann model. I've put myself in detention, my mum will be phoned and I will write 100 lines! Martyn
  8. I too have photos of Siphons on the M&GN. Is that A Bachmann Thompson full brake, I have one in blue and am not sure how good a model it is? Mine is in BR blue so might be worth revamping? Martyn
  9. I third it and am planning to do something about that later this year. I spoke to Colin at Gibsons a while ago, no 4mm E4 kits are likely so it will have to be a whitemetal kit. Martyn
  10. The steam period is roughly 1946 - 1951 meaning the six wheelers are valid and the layout could be visited by my M&GN 4mts once converted to EM. The two eras are so different I prefer not to mix them. However both can be seen among the traditional infrastructure.
  11. By around 1963 East Anglia was dieselised, it is a fascinating period when early diesels were operating and breaking down amongst victorian architecture.
  12. I didn't intend to keep the 1960s stock on the layout so long. A combination of low temperatures and being away a few times since Christmas means stock hasn't been swapped. This means the six wheelers finished at the end of last year haven't been seen.
  13. Look what turned up at Drove station, that shunter again. Used to be much more interesting.
  14. Great modelling Mikkel, truly inspiring. I've looked at the John Day ranges before but never been quite sure about them, perhaps time for another look. Martyn
  15. There has been quite a discussion on Tony Wright's thread about how much secondhand kits are worth, especially when a rtr model becomes available. I suppose this one is worth more because there is no rtr model and it is built even if it doesn't work properly? Perhaps this belongs on the Ebay madness thread! Martyn
