    What actually appears to be causing the confusion is the injector variations. Using the following photo as reference: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/55017-6435-1/ The injector is the collection of pipes in front of the cab, above the footplate. On earlier loco's the pipe work is quite tidy and goes back into the cab. But on later loco's the pipe work is a bit messier, sometimes (as shown in the above link) going down through the footplate, and on others wrapping over the outside of the footplate. As shown here: http://www.railaroundbirmingham.co.uk/full_photos/gwr5764PT_at_rest_bewdley.jpg

      Well spotted Claude. But it was probably more a reference to the Dapol 7mm 08 thread.

    With this and the Minerva Panniers next year is going to be a very expensive year!

    Ha ha! That was my mate's wife. He was too busy getting excited over the Dapol Terrier he's just bought! Say hello next time you silly sod!

    Aliphatic glue than I did. After it didn't actually stick anything I resorted to good old cyano.Very nice work Martyn. It sounds like you got on better with the It was a shame I didn't get to have a chat with you at Telford.

    That is actually good for me to hear. Having blown a big chunk of cash at Telford today I can not make the B set my xmas pressie!

    Martyn, I ditched the skinny spring wire included with the tortoise, and replaced it with 0.9mm piano wire for Eileen's. It gives them a much more powerful throw.

      I wonder how long it'll be before somebody says: "Don't stand so close to me"?

    Quite a few ales have a variation in ABV between the bottled and on tap. I believe it is something to do with the different brewing processes.

    The weathered O gauge tankers were delivered back to a very happy owner, and I am now in the possession of eight bottle of Oakham Citra. Oh, and here's the wagons. He's also given me a Dapol O gauge open wagon to do next.
  13. Kev_Lewis
    That's good to hear. I have been offered a case of Citra in exchange for weathering a couple of Lionheart O gauge tanker wagons

      So back to bricks. My brick loves me:

      Brick from Joseph Horatios Loves first brickworks.

      She does loves you Porcy and she just called me love (in a cockney accent!).

       

      As in, "You want a cuppa with that curry, love?".

      I said "Yes please, bird". And all is well in (my little) world.

    The skill of the driver and fireman are shown particularly well. You can see each shovel full of coal being carefully placed around the firebox to give an even fire. And the safety valve is just hissing without going off. An art that will be sadly lost soon.

    Many thanks for that Allan. I'm currently building with foamboard and strip wood, but I fancy some stone work for the next project,
