Compound2632 31,488 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Sorry I've not been looking in recently. I've had a quick skim through and will look forward to the summary version. Looks good. I think you haven't yet shown how you will address James' end window issue? May I enquire, what make of screw couplings are you using? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLightning 6,384 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Hi Stephen, The couplings I am using are Smiths LP-8A having used a few different types over the years I find these ones have the best trade off between looks and usability, others may disagree. As for the end windows, I am undecided, so far I have left them alone, it would definitely look better if I cut away the extra panel, but then I would need to fix the lining, and at the moment I am not confident enough that I could match the finish on the carriages. Either way however, they look much better for a few rather easy jobs. Gary 3 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I've not really kept up on the differences between the 'block train' and 'main line' third brakes, with differences in the internal positions, but are you going on to add more oil lamps? Or are they in fact not required? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLightning 6,384 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 The way I have done them they are much more like the mainline stock now rather than the suburbans, the mainline brakes were originally built with 2 lamps over the passenger compartments, with ones built later under Billinton having a lamp over each partition, so yes more lamps will be needed, I think the way ahead with this is to design and 3D print lamps that match the Hornby offering, and giving it one per compartment before repainting the roof.

BlueLightning 6,384 Posted Wednesday at 15:47 Author Share Posted Wednesday at 15:47 Quick announcement! I got a new job!! As a lot of people here may well know, I have been exclusively self employed for quite a long time (10+ years), however the nature of the work I am doing has changed considerably over the last year, and become something I don't really enjoy, while I am not giving this up, I am winding it back and doing less. As a result this has given me a lot of free time, and I'm not very good at free time, so I have gotten myself a part time job for the other days of the week. At my local model shop!! So starting tomorrow I will be able to be found behind the counter of Train Times Model Shop in Eastbourne! If anyone is local, then do pop in and say hi!!

Congratulations on your new employment. With your knowledge and skill set, I hope the first task your new employer gives you is to get out the paint and brushes and make the shop frontage a better match to Stroudley locomotive livery! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The shop has been painted those colours since it first opened in the early 1960s, even I think it would be sacrilege to put it into Stroudley livery! The colours certainly help it stand out against the other shops though! Gary 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Many congratulations (although very well deserved, too!). I'm so pleased for you. I must admit I thought the Centre had closed, so I'm also happy to hear I was wrong. I'd better get on that No 12 bus to Eastbourne ... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Collier 1,393 Posted Wednesday at 17:37 Share Posted Wednesday at 17:37 I'll have to pop in again soon, not been in much since Trevor passed, I spent many an hour chatting with him. Sad that it's the only model shop left in the town. Back in the day you also has Scalerail in Crown Street, Model Maker racing (later Modelzone), Robertsons in Winston Crescent, a small but well stocked shop upstairs in the Enterprise centre (name forgotten) and Gamleys in the Arndale that had a model section upstairs and also sold model railways. 6 shops in one town where I could even buy N gauge! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
