In a formal setting where your paid to do it, they would trust you, but doing it for free at home, all that belief you know what you are doing vanishes. richard 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jesse Sim Posted July 23, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2020 The ECJS Brake is starting to look at home on BJ, just transfers, some weathering and she’ll be finished. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Sim Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Couple more kits completed today for BJ, NB twins and a NER G2 van. Disregard the horrible paint job as they’ve only been given their first coat. I also painted the roof on the DS NER perishables van. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Sim Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Another successful afternoon in the train room, I installed the motor into the nucast J6, just need a DCC chip. I also lettered and numbered the J10 and the Parkside GW banana van Lettered and numbered a NE wagon, this is for a friend, first time doing BR transfers.... I also lettered, numbered and added handrail knobs to O2, this was started by Tony Wright when he visited in 2018 and it will be finished by me. Still need to add the middle wheel in the tender. 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cab Numbers on the O2 should be inline with the centre of the Tender Letters. Nice work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Sim Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) The C2 arrived today from Tony, she’s a beaut!!!! Here she is taken from my iPhone with a bit of editing to bring it out, I’ll have to get some good ones with my camera, thanks again Tony!

DougN Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Jesse looks great, even better that Tony now trusts the postal services to actually get things all the way out here! Looks like you have some really good progress happening... I think you need a better acronym than BJ as it might confuse people looking for something other than a model railway....... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jesse Sim Posted August 18, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2020 Some tinkering this afternoon with wagons, I finished the NE 2 plank wagon (see Tony’s thread), added some barrels to an open wagon and sheeted two wagons that said barrels were originally in. The K2 is getting closer to the paint shop, just handrails to add. 20 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff Jesse! Love the NE wagon with the load of barrels. Reminds me I need to fill up my open wagons with something other than Coal... Where did you get the tarps for the other two opens?

Jesse Sim Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 The K2 is now in the paint shop, seen here with her first coat of primer. Not looking forward to the lining but I’m sure I’ll be able to do an alright job. Ive also been working on the Dolphin wagon for the BRM article, almost finished, just finishing of some detail and some weathering. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Jesse how are you planning to do the lining? I ask as I have been thinking about buying a Bob Moore lining pen... but have yet to put the order in. One of the local guys has one and says it I is the only way I should go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Yes, however this is some one I have known for a long time and it was the first time the discussion had come up regarding lining. He said he had tried a number of techniques but the lining pen was the best. He only purchased his after using a test one at the gauge O guild exhibition. He found it so good he bought one on the spot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted August 25, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have one. It is ok but messy to clean up. I bought a new Kern draftsmans pen and it works fine for me but it truly is horses for courses sorry for deviating the thread Jesse Baz 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good starting point I think. I think that makes sense. If you do end up buying a lining pen or similar, start off with something simple like a coach with straight lines and (more or less) flat sides to get the hang of it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted August 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2020 The white/black /white lining is not easy to do on LNER locos. The single red line on black ones is ok so try a black lococ first.. Baz 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Use transfers , bowpens are not for first time efforts. Get used to running the lines first in transfers. Try a bowpen on a scrap body first. Bob Moore pen is good when they work , mine suffers from constant blocking. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
