RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted October 4, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 4, 2021 Nice. Certainly brighter and more feel-good. You and the other natives will know best whether it's also righter. Thanks for the telegraph pole photo, the search didn't bring up anything - I could have sworn... Paris- Roubaix was something special this year. But try as they might, they can't match the rock and roll look of your bike, G. ! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 TOO MANY PANNIERS ? No never !!! A new loco has been taken into stock today for the "other project" and I have added a sound decoder to her. Here she is with an initial trial, the sound will need some minor tweaking but at least there is some noise ! G 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this can be calculated scientifically. You need to count the total number of stars in the Firmament, multiply these by the dimensions of the Universe and then subtract 7. That is your starting point, ie. your target number of panniers to acquire. There is no upper limit. 2 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Another Grand Day Out... Quick update for today, having received an Intentio laser kit yesterday I gave it a once over with some "Halfuds" Primer and a quick mortar wash, there will be several stages for the brickwork finish which I hope will do the kit some justice. It is my first Intentio model and I must say, despite there being no instructions it is pretty obvious where every part belongs. I am particularly impressed with the corner laser cutting where it joins the adjacent part. Having left it to thoroughly dry until I attack it tomorrow I took advantage of the fine weather and had a ride out to Topsham prior to meeting my daughter and grandson from school, good to make use of the warm days before it gets colder.

What is the potential for more, just based on window shape (and indeed location). Pardon. but they only go up/down hill until I get a round toit.
