I am of the generation where retirement is something I'm unlikely to ever be able to do. They'll just keep increasing the retirement age as I get close and closer...

My boss and I enjoy filling out the ‘what will you do to make yourself suitable for your next post’ bit in my annual career review ‘cos we both know that it’s all about me teaching others. (HR wind-up mode) About 38 yrs ago I had the BR ‘where do you see yourself in 5 years question’: it was clear that my answer was insufficiently ambitious. It was however, correct!!!

Bit more weathering to do plus sort out why the tender is looking 'blotchy'. Rolled up canvas screen to do, real coal in tender needs adding. This loco turns out to be one of my best running one, steady and smooth at slow speed....

Now having a look on the Modelu site he is their but now the opposite way around. I'm wandering if my configuration has been changed to the current one - number 903 This is my crew This a picture of the 8 GWR crew when first released (Third from right) Looks like Alan handed it so the driver is now seated, facing forward whilst on the regulator!!!!! Am I one of only a few with a 'special edition collectors issue'..... Edited August 28, 2019 by KNP 6 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted September 2, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) This loco has been in my collection for a quite a while after I purchased it secondhand of flea bay. It started it's life as 1420 which is way to out of era even for me plus it had GWR writing on the tank. So the other day I fancied working on it so now it has reverted back to its original number of 4820 and with the nice GWR monogram. Here it is after a few days work, still needs a bit more... Hang on, the driver is shouting something to me 'w......ic...d...h...ass...umb...pl...e' What, speak up I can't hear you! 'Who's nicked the brass number plate?' No one, its still in the post....don't worry about it they will be fitted once it arrives.... The other thing is the driver face looks a bit featureless, better get the makeup out ready for the next photo shoot. Funny what you don't see until you take some pictures. General question For all my locos I have been using Fox transfers for the buffer beam numbers but they look a little large to me on this loco and had to be spaced very tightly to get them to fit. Has anybody else had this problem and if so what transfers do you use. All answers appreciated Edited Saturday at 15:28 by KNP 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted September 2, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I've always used the Pressfix transfers for GW locos and stock. It's been a bit tight on some, so perhaps buffer beams have been squeezed a bit by some manufacturers.
