[Work has finally started on the platforms]

Wow a man after my own heart. Modelling Penzance in the 1970's i will watch this thread with my full attention.

 

I will be eventually ( when i get my shed built ) be modelling PZ during the late 60's / early 70's in O gauge.

 

I would love to see some pics of your rolling stock as well as some pics of your layout .

[VSOE: Type K Pullmans]

Hi, Very interesting project you've got going here. I have built 6 pullman carriages in 7mm . Unfortunately i sold them to a mate. However i have thought about scratch building them again. They were all kits, but some of the parlour cars were incorrect. I altered Perseus . Lucille and Zena were correct. I also built Vera, Ibis and Minerva. I hoped to eventually build what your hoping to buid ie the full set. But my mate came up with an offer i couldnt refuse. I have enjoyed taking plenty of photo's both internal and external so if you need any help with photo's etc send me a PM. Keep sending the progress pics.

Hi Jon, look forward to seeing the progress on this. I have seen pics of Talacre before and was very impressed. If its half as good as that it will be great.

Cheers mate . They dont actually cost much either . The biggest cost are the bogies and the cars .Painted the underframe it's first coat yesterday, so another coat should do then paint the ends,put the motorail signs on ,transfers,bogies and then weathering. Mmmmmmm more work than i had thought, ah well soon be done . Then fix the cars

Cheers Rob

[O gauge workbench]

Hi Mike, do you mean Rob or has Phill been talking to you about his GUV. If its mine then i have the bogies and its just a case of spraying it up when the temperature warms up (not for a while then )

 

Cheers Rob

[O gauge workbench]

Nice work Rob , who's bogies did you opt for on the GUV & the Syphon

 

Cheers Phill

 

Hi Phill. Both easybuild. There very nice moldings,clean etc. Never used there bogies before but i will be again. Hows your GUV coming on

[O gauge Workbench]

I'll ask this question again then: what's the significance of the "distressed" namplate?

Hi Alcazar, I am modelling Buccaneer early 70's. She damaged the plate during a accident of some kind and after a while running like this Laira decided to remove the damaged plate,so she ran without it on that side for about 8 months before entering Swindon works for an overhaul,where she eventually received a new nameplate.
