They did not supply a list of CV's. I would still like to alter a few sounds such as the braking. Yes, the 57xx lost it's handrail somewhere, which is rather annoying, and I have yet order a replacement. But might just make one from brass I see the loco's are selling well, I was looking out Tower today and saw lots are already out of stock. Made the basis for the ramp for the cattle dock this afternoon and mocked up the backscene to check if the height was practical. Cheers, Ade. Where did you get the Loco / sound project from you really should have been supplied with a list of the CV's it's part of the project surely.... I'd be chasing that one up Ade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted June 29, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi George, thanks. I reckon I am going with Chocolate and Cream after all. Hi Martin, the loco was Dapol sound fitted. I am going to chase them for the CV list. Cheers, Ade. 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Taddeo Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Ade, I love those coaches! I just happened to be looking on you tube and learned a great deal about "SLIP" coaches. Kind of re-sparked my passion for british railway. How have you been!? Here in the states it's absolutely crazy, and now the second wave is coming in several states. I sense another lock down again... Keep up with the work I like what I see, btw nice statue sitting outside the shop. Dan T. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi Ade, Hope all is well with you all. I did succumb and buy a 14xx and agree the sound is rather quiet. Did you manage to get a list of the CV’s from Dapol? best wishes Julian. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 3, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi Julian, not managed to do anything on the railway modelling front since my last post back at the end of June. Been back at work since June 22nd and been very busy getting my sale online but now got a few days off on flexi furlough this week. Lez's job is looking very uncertain and that has been real worry now for the past three weeks. Cheers, Ade. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Good to have a chat on the old Dog and Bone today Ade. Really sorry to hear about Lez's worries, I hope it comes good for her, if not, it's into the Hot Tub with a BIG G & T. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the 14xx are getting low already although the 58xx, which is pretty much the same, is readily available. I am uncertain that the " side handrail between the cab and side" was present when all the 48xx and 58xx were built and believe it was a later addition ?

Agreed. Most pre- and immediately post-war 48xx and 58xx photos show no side handrail. By the early 50s, most seem to have them fitted.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Adrian Stevenson Posted August 17, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi Guys, well the bad news is Lez is losing her job. So some hard times ahead 11 months on after I placed the order, the 517 kit is now ready. Talk about bad timing. Having a few days away, given the holiday to Egypt is cancelled, no prizes for guessing the location. Cheers Ade. 2 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi Ade, really sorry to hear about Lez loosing her job mate, as you say, bad timing for the Kit.

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 18, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2020 Thanks for all the kind comments from both of us. Been down to the beach and walked along the sea wall. The new sea defences will be impressive once completed. Some Class 43's still running on the line. Sunshine and showers everyday so far. Cheers Ade and Lez. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocarolan Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 So sorry to hear of Lez's job loss. There may well be difficult times, though hopefully not for too long, and in any case it's the worrying about what might happen that's the worst bit - what actually does is not usually anything like as bad. I have no doubt you'll be able to prioritise the important things. You both have my full sympathy - some 20 years or so ago I was obliged to take early retirement for medical reasons and it took 5 years before my pension was properly sorted out (NHS...), during most of which we had no proper regular income. The up side was that I got to spend much more time with my growing daughters than I would otherwise have been able to. A major blessing. Wishing you both all the very best - enjoy your holiday and return with renewed optimism and enthusiasm. Keith 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi Ade, So sorry to hear the news about Lez losing her job, its crap all round at this time, lets hope it will soon be over and we can get back to normal, (hopefully), very nice choice of a holiday break, we spent some time there last year, stay safe buddy. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddys-blues Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi Ade, just to echo what many have said before, good luck for Lez on the job front, hope it all turns out ok for you both. Best regards Craig. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gismorail Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Just to echo what everyone else has said reference the job front, times like this make us all look at our lives and as you are both a very positive pair I'm sure that all will turn out for the best. As the old saying goes 'one door closes and another opens'. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
