Yes, but Jesse's Australian.  The only way you'll expand his range of obscenities is if he learns to swear in Klingon.

I never watched Star Trek, but my old man came running out when I asked what the bloody hell was Klingon.

The shipyard in Barrow was a good place to learn new swear words.. generally shouted out very loudly ...

People who have worked in the oil bath of a Bulleid Pacific usually have a broad vocabulary as well.

My levels of profanity where vastly improved whist working upside down at an angle of 45 degrees with my legs twisted to the left on the gun inside a turret of a Chieftain tank that I believe you might have made.

Like Tony has always said, “I can teach him a lot about kits and modelling, but I can’t teach him anymore about swearing, I’m learning from him!” 
 

I think you said last November Geoff, “don’t worry I’m just as bad as him” pointing at Tony, I think the three of us had a great afternoon that day. 

We certainly did Jesse, hopefully we will get to have another fun day playing trains and being politically incorrect.

On the weekend is the Forestville model railway show, as part of the BRMA I will be demonstrating for the entire weekend. It’s a good day to get things done, I will finish painting a kit, put transfers on half a dozen and then hopefully start on another DS kit. I decided I wanted to take some of the stock that I have already finished and some I’m part way through. So a bit of woodwork today and  I’ve turned a hamper box into a stock box.

An excellent day spent with Barry Oliver of this parish, before he fly’s home to the wet and cold. 
 

Played some trains for a few hours and talked about the meaning of life before a couple of beers at the local watering hole with a good aussie pub feed! 
 

Here is making out he’s actually driving the proper eastern stuff! D8804367-C9D6-481E-B8FC-6AB7E9D84EC1.jpeg.6081cd4deb0ceb3b1c3ed160a49f459c.jpeg

 

And then blabbering away with my old man

A most enjoyable day, two friends playing trains and talking sh*t, nothing better. Safe journeys back home Baz!

Feeling very professional out at the Forestville model railway show. Spent most of the day adding transfers to wagons, planning on finishing a DS kit tomorrow.

Fortunately for the readers, you cropped the head of the person in the second shot...

Jesse,

Now I know why you spend time with the layout. I watched the Eels game live...it was less than brilliant but at least the eels won.

Baz

Remember that bottle of Johnny I had laying around, well the game was that bad that I had to finish that bottle

Don’t you love it when your mad ideas work....

 

I had a pair of these David Geen L&Y single holster wagons gifted to me by a member of the BRMA, they were very easy to put together and they run beautifully. I liked the look of them running, but wanted to add a load, but i knew I wouldn’t be able to glue the load on to both of the wagons otherwise they wouldn’t pivot properly. I couldn’t believe it, I actually used my brain before going in with glue.....

 

I decided on glueing the pipes together first, then glueing the chain to either side of the wagon and a small dab on the top of each pipe, allowing the wagon underneath to pivot ever so slightly, just like the real thing and it works!

Another project was to build a SEF chassis and place it under a Bachman j39 Body, well here it is so far, far from finished, but it shows how it sits and I think it looks perfect. Needs a bit more weight added and the chassis finished, but she’s getting there.

Great stuff, Jesse,

 

Well done.

 

Just be careful with the number of the J39. It's towing a GS tender with a high frontplate - the rarest tender type behind a J39.

 

Regards,

 

Tony.

Is there much of a visual difference? 
 

Wouldn’t happen to have a photograph of a more appropriate one Tony, so I could go off it?

If you check reliable drawings, or copy good photographs (or even a good model) it isn't dreadfully difficult to hack one of those tenders about to produce the earlier low-front version.

I could go of the SEF kit I’ve got built there......

Good evening Jesse,

 

I don't have any pictures of J39s in LNER condition, but the following might help......186630790_J39648081955.jpg.09894849fc246b65f35b1ee362d9ed1d.jpg

All of them are towing the far more-typical smaller GS tender (in one case with stepped-out coping). 

 

Dave Ellis does this type.

 

Regards,

 

Tony.
