Hi Larry i have re-sized it from 800 pixals wide to 700 hows that

Well today i have managed to finish off the Highland TPO so it ready for painting the Mail dropoff Equipment & net will be fitted after painting After rolling the roof i fitted it along with the roof lights which needed the ends filling wich i managed to do with low melt solder I also made the end steps plus fitted the end grabrails the truss rods were made up from .7mm wire & some split pins the rest of the chassie detail was then fitted all of this is from 247 Development I have made this coach so that the chassie is bolted on to the body to aid painting This is now sat on the radiater drying so it can get a coat of primer tonight then it will be painted over this week Next on my work bench is a 247 developments Kit for a GWR Dia L23 lot 1503 a twin pick up Post Office Stowage Van

Hi Larry the diner needs some part wich i need to order to finish it then when Mr S is ready it will be off to him for painting & the all 3rd will be done after i have done this & 2 more TPOs Asto the Highland TPO yes there did last till at least 1959 I am finishing this one in LMS livery I have 2 here for re-coupling that you painted 1 in Highland livery 2005 & LMS livery 2004 Brian

this afternoon i have been working on a set of etches from 247 Development for a Highland Railway heres what you get from 247 well i had a brass chassie which with a bit of triming fits this needs to be 184mm long i have built up the body without its cast fittings & the chassie still needs truss rods & it castings fitting which i hope to get done tomorrow which i got from 247 with the etch you get a roof which needs rolling i will also do this tomorrow the bogie are from 247

the way the kit was designed made fitting the doors easy to fit as they had a 90degre fold from the sides to give you the recess the thses had push out tabs to locat the doors the roof i had to roll but the roof is made up from 5 long etches plus 5 ribs/formers the loow roof was 1/2 etched so was nice tp roll but the clerestory roof was not & was a pig to roll

Hi Larry its the way i am posting my blogs sliting them in to work blocks & not adding to a post brian

well so far today i have built up the roof & fitted mopst of the underframe casting but as these are not in the kit i need to order some Dynamos & gangways tofinish of this coach I found the roof nice to build & roll thow it was a tight fit between the ends when i build the all 3rd i will build the roof 1st so that the roof will fit better hers the pics

well the MK3 TSO is now all most done apart from the pipes & plugs

thanks for the coments chaps latter i will have a Midland Railway Dia 572 12 wheel 3rd class dining car which ran with the Dia571 but once i have finished this coach i have 3 TPOs to build before i can build the Dia 572 Back to the Dia571 well i have built up the chassie, body & bogie which i have replaced with ones from the 247 Developments range & i will be sell the 2 pair of 5522 Midland Bains 12 wheel bogies from this & the Dia 572 kit i still have the corridors to build up & then the interia but thats a job for tomorrow as is the roof them i will be fitting the castings to the coach I am not a fan of this type of coach build i like to have a chasie that is bolted to the body like the Comet kits so painting is easyer ( but then i will not be painting this coach ) well heres a update pic

Today i have made a start on a 5522's kit for a Midland 12 wheel 1st class Dining car dia0571 So far i have built most of the chassie brasswork apart from the solebar steps After lunch i hope to get the rest of the chassie done & make a start on the body

we will give you the encouraging caht in the comments looking forword to this as i like this class of loco

well the HST power car has now got its transfers on & about to get a coat of satin varnish & once that is dry its just the glazing then its finished I fined water slide transfers a pain but heres some pics of the Car

well at the Huddersfield show i built up the next coach for the layout a Jubilee 1st built from Bill Bedford etchs & 247 Development parts over the weekend i got all of the soldering done now all i have to do is build up the seating & paint the coach Tonight this Gentlemen was seen getting off the last train of the day asking if any one had seen Binky ??

i know that the name plates are been made as i type in the UK but when the loco will be in the UK I have know idea

The customer sent modified couplings to fit to this coach he had removed the bar & hook from the old type honby coupling then put a new bar on one which the hook on the next carrage will not hook under so that when this hook goes over a ramp the hook will release from the modified bar

well one of the jobs i did today was to finish off the Comet kits kit No W46 of the Dia F24 slip coach I have found this as with all the other Comet kits i have built a nice kit to work on with no problems though i did replace the seating from the kit with southern pride seats

since the old rmweb is not always on line at the mo here is a link to some pics of Forks Trestle over on Fotopic http://mozzer-models...t/c1723581.html i now have the wood to build the boards so this can be used as a stand alone layout

Today I am painting coach one is the GWR slip coach which I have painted the ends black and a Chivers LNER 4 wheel brake van (pigeon) again its in teak livery The next job for this coach is to letter up the sides then varnish them , glaze & fit the roof.

is this one stumping you all
