A 25/3 that I dug out the other day just to try a couple of little detail alterations on, finished as a workworn Crewe example, 25285 in BR Blue. This will start it's journey to Derbyshire this evening. Here are a few pictures............. More very soon now that I'm feeling a bit better.

P.C.M Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Superb job on the class 25 Jinty, Can I ask if you painted the blanking plate over the smaller grille at number 2 end. I only ask because mine looks a darker blue. I am wondering do I try and paint it or just try and weather it down to match. I have ordered some speakers so will let you know how I go. Cheers Peter. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Peter, Thanks. The blanking plate was already in the accessories packet and painted in the body colour. Jinty 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jintyman Posted February 12, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2019 Evening all. Well here is ne of the little darlings to come off the workbench today. A Dapol 08, numbered as 08478, fitted with a Zimo MX644D sound decoder with Paul Chetter's Protodrive sound project and run through one of my own Bass Reflex speakers mounted in the nose. I've added a couple of little details such as an oil can on one footplate and a spare tail lamp on the other. I've beefed up the anaemic vacuum pipe with some Slaters springs as well and fitted wipers on the rear windows. Here are a few pictures, I apologise for the over exposed pictures that have been altered with a computer photo editing program, but I was fighting changeable weather conditions that didn't lend itself to decent model photography. And more very very soon!!! Jinty 15 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 DON'T keep reminding me that I need to start on mine Jint's, haha Great work though matey. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
railwayrod Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 That 08 looks like the real thing. As usual - great and skilful modelling. Rod 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jintyman Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Here is a rake of 5 Skytrex PCA's, built and finished with Peartree wheels, Slaters Oleo buffers and Dapol couplings (Yes I know they should be instanter). All the numbering is from Railtec and some logos, etc from Fox. Weathered as in service vehicles without too much of a build up of crud, except in the usual areas around the solebar and pipework. I think they make up into a nice wagon for not much money. Off on holybobs on Thursday for a few days, so more when I return. I've got another 6 of these to weather as well Jinty Edited February 19, 2019 by Jintyman 13 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

railwayrod Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I am not sure what you are talking about re page 4 (page 3 would be better from the nostalgic point of view me thinks!!) as mine opens as normal. Have looked briefly at several threads this afternoon with no trouble. Rod 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jintyman Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Hi Tricky, Nothing amiss, I keep looking in from time to time, but other duties are taking my eye away from the WB a little, as well as a son leaving home for another part of the country, it's been a busy few months. Coupled to the fact that I'm not keen on the new format of RMWeb, I've sort of been posting elsewhere quite a bit. Maybe a couple of pictures of some of the bits I've been up to eh? A couple of Accurascale HUO Hoppers............ A Dapol Brakevan converted to a RF branded Air Braked CAR........ Another Dapol Brakevan converted to a Bauxite one with yellow Air Braked panels. Both brakevans have had Railtec transfers added as well as Slaters Oleo buffers and additional bufferbeam pipework. Yes I know they don't have roller bearing axleboxes as there was only so far I could go practicably. Another couple of pictures below as well. Apparently not, I'm only allowed 10mb of photographs unless I subscribe to Goldiness!!! So that's yer lot I';m affraid.

I don't come here nearly as often now, after the 'upgrade'. I quite enjoyed the down-time, during which I realised that I was just coming here to check to see if I was missing something. Now, I spend more time in my workshop 'doing my own thing' and less on my laptop. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium AdeMoore Posted April 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2019 A lot heading to Western Thunder! a lot more modelling and less thread jamming as I call it! Great modelling there though Jinty top top class. Cheers 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
