  6. I realised when I went looking for this thread it has been a while since I posted! Activity has been limited, I admit, due to a) work, b) the loss of my mojo and c) I did spend quite a bit of time working on Wansbeck Road to freshen up the presentation (new backscene board, new lighting rig (which would comply with Australian electrical requirements!) and a touch of paint). The mojo has returned a bit - so hopefully there'll be more regular posts on both this and my layout thread in 2024. With that in mind and in keeping with @queensquare's tradition of Christmas posts (which I copied last year) I'll leave you with the pic below of J39 No 67931 arriving into Wansbeck Road with a motley collection of empty coal wagons.
  7. The next ZAG meeting, and last for 2023 owing to the proximity of Christmas to what would be the fourth Saturday meeting, is this coming Saturday 9th December from 1930GMT.

All are welcome to join in, and share what they have been building, ask for advice (and share their favourite tips for success) and generally have a chat about their projects completed this year, or planned for next.

  8. One of those cultural differences. I spent the weekend enjoying showing my layout Down Under at the most local exhibition to me. No discussion of reimbursement before, during or after - never has been in the over ten years I’ve been going. Same with all the others on the circuit. I have always been bemused by the different approach in the UK where the attitude seems to be I don’t want to have to spend money for a weekend of no wife, no kids and all hobby - which essentially is what i had. Interesting to learn it is apparently only model railway shows. Incidentally, if model railway shows out here paid expenses at the rate UK ones do, do costs would rise, less people would go and clubs would be financially stressed. We’ve already lost one in South East Queensland due to the club deciding it wasn’t worth the financial risk to hold it. My club one wouldn’t happen either.
  9. I'm looking at getting a J27 commissioned so we can have a couple to run on Wansbeck Road. I am aware of the Shapeways body but some of the reports I've seen suggest that whilst it's to scale, it's too to scale for even 2mm standards (besides, I'm not sure you'd get enough weight into it). Has anyone tried the J27 from Shapeways to confirm or deny the rumours? And could some kind soul point me at some good plans for a J27. TIA.
  10. Ready to fly the flag at the Railway Modellers Club of Queensland show over the weekend.

  12. A 3D lamp shade is possible - it really depends on the print settings and the printer. And having a suitable set of dimensions to draw said lamp shade...
  13. I just tested some 3-301's in mine Tim - ones I took from a Class 101. They worked.
