You too captain? A peckett followed me home in a moment of weakness.

Thanks for hosting Bryn - now get back to revision, there's a whole summer to get that fiddle yard sorted!
-
Intresting... please keep us posted on the gaugemaster mod - I'm interested to see what you do before I start playing with a pc interface controller... ( it's a hnc project, honest...)
-
And killing iPhones... (apprentice one, gobby new fo3 nil!)
I hope you're keeping well.

Out of reach stock? Surely an AWS test magnet could be aquired to rescue said items?
On a serious note, this is going to be a blooming good, well presented layout Bryn!

A very elegantly executed solution - but why not go the full hog on the next one and split axle it?
-
A second vote for slamming it!
My '89 golf was lowered by it's previous owner and the dual headlamp grill fitted as an "upgrade" I just need to get the thing on the road for summer...
-
That is looking blooming good!

Merry Christmas Maddocks all!

Very nice indeed, I keep flicking through the book I aquired over there on holiday, but I don't think I'll get past the card coach bodies I cut out a few years ago...

Very nice Bryn, Good to see you back modelling - I assume all is well at your end.
Matt.

Both wagons look rather tasty indeed. Prehaps the way to mimic wood in a larger scale is to use wood itself. I'm aware of 4mm scale modellers using close grained strip intended for aeromodelling for detailing, so to step up and build wagons using it with brass or plastic strapping might aachieve the effect you are after?

Very nice indeed Pete, I'mglad to see the return to Coombe Junction.
-
These Chiltern guys are soft... air grease guns!
As Bryn says, if you can get into the industry you won't regret it.

Cool, as an apprentice we get dumped on exam work usually to run around doing the odds and ends for the normal day gang.

Aux heater is for coolant. I assume you were dealing with eberspachers (150/14x use webasto)
It sounds like a grand fortnight out for you...
-
Sounds like B exam work to me... nice work Simon
-
Interesting read, only a couple of classes have the overrideable pass-coms... 158/153/150 and 14x didnt get this fitted... (such a pain to test, reset, recommission brakes for each one...)
-
Enjoy it dude, I ended up getting an apprenticeship with first gw instead of going to uni...I'm two years in and still have to pinch myself...just wait til they get you blocking
-
umm its Heljan...so far a new set of central windows have been added, and I have had to replace a bogie side.
To fill one bogie end I have ordered a spare set of bogie mouldings so i can rob the inside end, giving me a section of moulded plastic that should fit perfectly (its still on my desk waiting for me to mount the aws? sender on it...depending on how this turns out, I will either do the same or scratch up an end piece from plasticard.

my mistake... never understood the southern region...
Most of the 70's livery locos I have collected I am trying to detail and weather subtley. All will have been seen (or the class/subclass) at Bristol Bath Road Shed 1976-1986
-
Very nice Jz, will be you be coming to the swag day in april?
-
I'll let you off on this cab...
On a serious note this is awesome modelling, very realistic indeed.
-
Thats very nice Martin, I reckon putting the work into larger scale models really pays off
Back where I hadn’t expected to be...

I can empathise with you there, two years after leaving the UK (for a rail engineering role with a Spanish company in the Southern Hemisphere) I've found I don't hit it off in quite the same way with former colleagues and friends. I'm not sure where I would elect to work if New Zealand didn't want to keep me though.
