Happy New Year. And a Happy New Year to you Dave. I hope we get to eat lunch in a warm sunny garden again in 2018. Yes, it's an ex. Oldham Corporation Leyland bodied TD5.

Anglian Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Larry, I missed your thoughts on returning to O gauge. Would you care to explain why you considered it again and why you finally decided on sticking to OO? I understand if you'd rather not though having removed the O references.

Mrkirtley800 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 A very rushed Happy New Year, to you and Mary, Larry. We have been staying with our youngest son and his family and, of course, his O gauge railway. The whole family congregated there on Boxing Day for a second Christmas dinner. There were fifteen of us plus a dog, so things were pretty lively. Daughter brought us home with her brood and stayed until today. Now, at last, I can get back to some modelling. So, I hope 2018 is a good one for you, I am not sorry to see the back of 2017, so the new year has got to be an improvement, I hope!! Derek 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldham Corporation Leyland bodied TD5. Are you still active on the Delph (Holt) terminus? Hi Larry. Mmmm. Lunch in a warm sunny garden sounds very appealing but a distant prospect with the snow only just melted, here. Regarding Delph/Holt, I'm still plodding along, mainly working on locos with the layout not really progressing. I still make occasional entries in my RMweb blog. Next year, I really intend to get the garage cleared and converted into a model railway room so I can have the layout up permanently and also get on with the messy aspects of scenic work. Can't really do that sort of stuff in the lounge, can I? Best wishes, Dave. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek It sounds like you are soundly recovered now Derek so I am glad you and Olga were able to enjoy a good Christmas. You were obviously well insulated from the 0 gauge bug, otherwise you would be at home now ripping things up haha. Like you, we are glad to see the back of 2017, a year and a Christmas from hell for Mary. All the very best to you both for 2018. Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post coachmann Posted January 5, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Happy New Year Mike. A new GWR coach is born. This D124 corridor brake third was etched before Xmas, but I have only just found the time to solder up a set of etchings. It is sufficiently different from the D121, it's predecessor, to make it worth producing. Anything but standardized, GWR coaches were all over the place after the steady development between the end end of World War One and 1933. The D121 had windows at two waist levels and three cantrail levels whereas the D124 dropped all the windows to one low waist level. The corridor partition at the luggage end had fallen over during photography..... Compartment side... Edited January 5, 2018 by coachmann 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted January 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2018 Coach, is that coach brass or nickel silver? It looks like n/s on my tablet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2018 Definitely brass, see earlier photos of fettled parts. A lovely job by the way, Coach. Hopefully we'll get decorated photos over the weekend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Coach, is that coach brass or nickel silver? It looks like n/s on my tablet. It is brass. I took it out to the shed when it was almost dusk and so the long exposure has probably had an affect, plus the image was lightened in the grey areas to deliver more detail in the bogies. It will probably pass through the sprayshop tomorrow in between a lot of other pulls on my time at the moment. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 The end of Carrog in 00 was on the cards last November, but there was an unwelcome intervention and I have needed to concentrate on far more important issues for the past two months. Everything except the layout has been sold. Thanks for your support over the past year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
