Inspirational stuff there Bodgit, plenty to think about, thanks mate..
-
Great minds think alike lan, l like the idea of an old steam shed, well done .
-
hello craig, l was never happy with the points l had built, just didn't file enough away on the point blades and they needed lots of adjustments, plus l never motorised them causing all sorts of trouble, so l have loads of peco track to use this time..
-
l take your point john, l have built plenty of depot layouts in the past, but never in O gauge, so l am doodling all possible options as to a track plan, but no more extending fiddle yards...
-
Spot on buddy..
-
Hello Martin, l lost the mojo long before Bodgit started his sell off, the good thing is l am still modelling in O gauge, just need to get mind on something l enjoy, thats why l think a depot of sorts is the answer?..
-
Forgot that one Paul, guess l will have to add a third rail in the depot ?
-
Hi John, l know what you mean about wagons as l have followed your wagon threads many a time, the big problem with O gauge is many of us just dont have the room we would like and can never make the layout we dream of, l bought two coaches thinking it would be ok, (Wrong) with a class 37 you are looking at nearly 5' long and on a scenic layout of 10' it looked silly, so l think l will be modelling a small diesel depot from now on...l also have a 56 and 66 on order (WHY) l ask myself Hahahaha...
-
Having lost a lot of enthusiasm latley on 'Moss Lane' l have decided to move it on to someone who has shown a lot of interest in it lately as it is without the buildings, so after a bit of haggling l have sold 'Moss Lane', so whats next ? maybe a small diesel depot were no wagons and coaches are involved ?...
-
Also its the finace as well, O gauge stock is very expensive, but l noticed that OO stock is getter dearer by the day, really something to think about...
-
Hi Martin, Thanks for the thumbs up, l dont know where l saw it done but l thought then it was a great idea, as you only see one side of the loco and it saves you hundreds of pounds too, Hahahaha take care buddy...
-
Split Personalities at 'Moss Lane' in the form of 37285 in Coal sector, and 37187 in distribution on the other side, sounds crazy but l havent got £700 plus for another O gauge sound 37, and as you only see the one side of the loco l thought. not my idea but l thought it would suit my needs, just have to adjust the weathering to the Coal sector loco...
-
Padstow's chassis is starting to take shape...used 12ba bolts on the rear axle and 10ba on the other two, as l dont want the nuts to fowl the front axle with the valve gear...
-
Thanks for the tips....
-
Hi Al, Great to meet up with you at Ellis Clarks show on Saturday, nice to see the turbots you have bashed /weathered up (gave me an idea), also thanks for the nameplate guys website, l have ordered some already, thanks again buddy....
-
Thanks Andy, As l have built three Bulleids on commission latley l thought l would build one for myself, the ACE finished at Padstow from Waterloo and 34008 has been a favourite loco of mine...
-
Well the chassis has gone together this morning, now need to put the wheels on next...
-
Hi Andy, Stubby is spot on you did say 'Bench Road' at the start of the video, also you made me realise why l have never finished a layouy ? (Fifteen miles of wire) Hahaha
-
Possibly next weekend Hahaha.
-
l need some parts for the T9 project, and paint for the PLVs, so l thought l would make a start on my David Andrews Bullied W/C No 34008 'Padstow' the frames are going together nicely..
-
Thats a bit too bright for me, l am going for a darker sage green l think.
-
Love the fiddle yard Bodge, you should hold some stock in there..
-
Very nice job Ade, what livery will you choose ?..
-
Hi Andy, Well l have been mucking about with white filler for the mortar on the brick work, as suggested by lan 47606odin (who has posted a very helpful video) and l am very pleased with the results.
-
Very nice Paul, very realistic...
