Clearly there were no perishables on board, or none of those pesky animals! As ever Kevin you are capturing everything quintessentially English from days gone by with every photo you present. Very inspiring, thank you. 1 9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Bradley Manor is operational. A split chassis DC version now running on DCC. I have photographed each stages and taken video’s of the chassis running which I will post in the next day or two. This is the test set up to check running which will have wires shorten to fit in the loco body. Yes, by removing some of the metal I was able to squeeze the chip in under chimney area. Seems to run very smoothly but it does need a good clean and oil.. 14 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Have to say that is yet another wonderfully observed piece of modelling. The hedgerow is about as real as it gets. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted September 14, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) 7802 Bradley Manor has moved into the bay platform under it's own steam. Little bit jerky at slow speed but I believe it needs a good session on the rolling road to bed everything in. A few things still to go. Finish cab detailing. Crew to add Wheels to paint Minimal weathering as this loco would be brand new with a only a few miles on the clock. Nice addition to LM motive fleet for less than £30.

Popular Post KNP Posted September 15, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 Not bloke, a scarecrow......! A frightening scarecrow! One that makes you look into the shadows at the sound of a rustling, dragging, moaning sound... What are they talking about? They are sure it moved? It is now wearing a smile, a wicked crooked one with a noticeable cold, soulless glint in its one eye.... Didn’t know railway modelling could be so frightening, scared to go the room now without the light on!!!!! 9 1 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
