RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted November 15, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks for the quick reply Gilbert. A couple more things if I may. Did you use the resin handrail knobs? I had wondered if they were too fragile. Ditto the resin trucks, I wondered if they too were strong enough. Presumably they are? Thanks steve Trucks were fine but other options are available - I've subsituted old Roundhouse and newer Walthers trucks on some other milk cars - nobody has picked me up on any inaccuracies so far! I'll have a look at the cars in the next day or so but I think I used 4mm loco handrail knobs inserted in drilled holes in the resin body (although I may have also used HO lifting eyes - I will check - anyway I substituted metal parts. FWIW milk cars are a fascinating subset of freightcar modelling - I have numerous conversions and one 50' scratch built version of a B&M car - which is otherwise only available in brass - if you can find one...if we get them out at Thornbury I'll do a few photos..

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted November 19, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2017 Twigg Street will be at the Thornbury Show at the Chantry - BS35 1HB - on 18 and 19 November. http://www.tsgmrc.co.uk/2017-exhibition/ We'll be mainly using 1950/60s Boston & Maine stock but there will be a bit of modellers' licence in play... Cracking few days at Thornbury - layout behaved itself and we met a few other rwebbers. We were well looked after and there were some very nice layouts on show. How a German DCC snow blower appeared in the last hour today I'm not entirely certain... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted May 17, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks I'm yet to get a copy but I got a very quick look at a friends subscription copy on Sunday. A phrase containing "Silk Purse" and "Sow's Ear" springs to mind... Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 8, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2019 Twigg Street is now surplus to requirements, has no bookings and will get broken up into components unless I can pass it on to a good home (albeit without a couple of buildings which I will keep) If there is any interest in a very cheap sale - particularly in the Bristol/ Bath/Cheltenham area do get in touch 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
