BUT BUT BUT, Basically the 6 numbers provided do not fit in the ZBO box as the DB is already there, so I have had to remove the last number of a printed set from the sheet. or add individual numbers 0 to 9 provided and try and line them up. NIGHTMARE. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted June 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2021 There's never an 'Ahhhh!' button when you want one is there Whose transfers were they Andy - if you speak to Steve at @railtec-models he should have a sheet were you can just fill in the number and the whole box, tops code, DB and number go on as one transfer I think.

Andrew P Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 On a misty morning Banger Blue 37206 brings in a rake of wagons to Bridge End Sidings, Seven Mills. The Driver is already out of the Cab to uncouple. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing it Paul R Cheers Paul, Yes, its in the August issue, out this time next Month, but it will be the original Seven Mills with the Fuel Pumps along the back. I have done another article showing them being removed and then grassed over but I'm not sure if Steve Flint / Craig Tiley, will incorporate that into the same article or not. I've then done another article on Bench Road. All the photos for Seven Mills and Bench Road were done by me. And then in July, I have another Editor due down to take some pics for an article for next year that will cover both Seven Mills and Bench Road as it is today. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Although this Video isn't due until tomorrow, I may not have time to load it to You Tube and so I've done it now. It incorporates the Painting of the Yellow Dutch Livery to the Grampus. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well that was almost a waste of a day of my life. Great time with George, @georgeT of course, but he / we decided against a breakfast to start the day. Signal failures all over Hampshire / Surrey meant the 10-20 service from Waterloo still hadn't arrived at 14-30 and was reported as RUNNING LATE. Consequentially, very little freight was happening, even in the Ballast Yard with just ONE, 08 shunting ONE Rake of wagons. Then a trip to Ropley / Watercress Line to see what was being prepared for the weekends War Weekend, and the short answer was, NOTHING. A couple of pics from Eastleigh, and some Video will be fitted on to one of my Videos shortly. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Got to say I do like the 67’s and surprised its not been done rtr in O gauge as yet. Might have been only 30 made but a lot of liveries to date. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
