bike2steam Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Peter's right, but I did say MOST of Dorset, 'Wessex City' ( Poole/Bournemouth/Christchurch) is the only down side, I only go there if I really need to. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi George. Nice Locos and Autocoach. Polly had a Maroon one with go faster gold stripes for christmas life. High Level do a good chassis kit for the 14xx and Mainly Trains do a body detailing kit. Heres a link to one i did earlier. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/62699-rays-4mm-workbench/?p=840788 But I'm sure with your Loco building skills you'll make a much better job of it. Ray. Hello Ray, Thanks for the link to your re-building of a 14xx, very nice such a lovely little loco, l will see if High Level has a chassis to buy...then follow your lead...

georgeT Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Cracking on with the second board, but this one has a well for the cassettes but to save on space the cassettes will over hang when in use... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Morning George, How many Tracks are you envisaging going onto the Cassettes? as there only appears to be room for one, if your having an Embankment / Scenic's along behind it look a little tight.

georgeT Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 If he is like me I doubt if he knows until he has built it Spot on Gismorail, l never know before hand what l am building until its built (hahaha) l know what l want but how l achieve it is another thing ? sometimes it works, sometimes it don't (hahahaha) more often it fails hahaha..just like BS l knew what l wanted but in reality it failed badly.. Peter with the cassette system l use is the fish plates are soldered to the tracks on the exit board and the cassettes just plug into them, crude l know but it works, and they hold the track firm, l intend to have two tracks on the exit on CA as only one be in use at any one time...

georgeT Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi George, any new updates mate? Well everything was going well till l saw these wagons from Oxford Rail, they are lovely and got me thinking ? leave the southern branded locos alone and make CA in the days when everything was a lot cleaner and colourful plus save a lot of time and effort changing the locos to BR ...

bobster Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi George - I thought this was going to be 1950/60s BR period - Why the change of plan ?. Cheers, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predominantly it will be Bob, its just that those wagons look so nice (even better with a subtle weathering job) then l can use the few locos l have that are in the Southern green livery, so l can pop back the the 30s-40s for a while just to give them a run out...so no change of plan, just a diversion...
