I wanted to depict a War Department trolley and originally thought to order the green model. In the end I went for the black one. Here is what I did to it. Cheers David Hi David, Looks great as does the track, Iv tried to resist but will get the yellow one when the sound versions come into stock. I believe firmly that our great British manufacturers should be supported as much as possible. Can I ask where you got the track from? Kind regards Julian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted May 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2023 I picked my Wickham trolley up from Skipton this lunch time. What a great experience! I really can't thank Ami, Hannah and Neil enough (As well as all the canine members of the team!). I think I met Chris as well! The actual Wickham trolley is a beautifully made and presented model. I also ordered the Wickham trolley double hut plywood laser/multi media kit. This is also wonderfully presented and has a real quality feel about it. I also managed to pick up an Intentio LNER/BR Platelayers Hut kit in the process. I was made to feel really welcome and and must say I was very impressed all round. This is my first dip into O Gauge with the Wickham trolley and I am certainly converted. Cheers, Mark 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 One of my Wickhams, great models. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Looking at photos of Wickhams in there later life many had dirty black roofs. I came across a photo of a Wickham pushing a black trailer loaded with BR push trollies so after ordering a black trailer I recreated it.

Nick G Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Another Wickham completed today, TR18. There is a couple of photos of this one on flickr of it in Bangor and Aberystwyth. As I am in North Wales I had to model this one with its flatbed trailer. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Yes, I made them from a piece of party tablecloth which is like a very thin plastic material. I painted a piece yellow then made a template out of card fpr the sides and used that to cut it to size. Stick in place with PVA glue. This is made from the same but painted a different colour obviously. Edited August 18, 2023 by Nick G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways it's a pity these two Shows are so close together, as I doubt I'd get a second Day Release Pass so soon after Guildex.😳 The fact we're also away the weekend of the Stafford club show this year is a moot point. 🙄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
