RMweb Gold Popular Post kipford Posted November 2, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2015 Tring went well, the layout operate very nicely with only operator mistakes being a problem, that included my fellow operator accidently frying the uncoupler power supply, that's why I carry spares! Any way it was a good work out for our club show. The purpose of this post is to introduce the newest member of the loco fleet, The finished Ginster 158. For a simple colour scheme it was surprising difficult. The transfers are all home brewed and printed on crafty decal paper. After a bit of weathering the result is as seen in the photos below, ready for her debut at Portsmouth. The Ginsters livery has particular significance now as Matt has got engaged and his fiancé hails from Cornwall so a bit of deja vu! 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 7, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2015 I have finally opened a youtube account, so to try things out here is a quick video of the Ginster in action, this is quickly becoming my favourite piece of stock on Brighton. Sorry about the quality and the fact is starts off like a jack rabbit, I was operating both phone and controller at the same time. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should be making more buddlea instead..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeydave Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Enjoyed the layout at Portsmouth today.The hall was a bit too crowded for my liking but I'd certainly go again. I'm definitely going to have a go at the buddlea's.The scenery your layout is really nice . Hope you sorted out your 'momentum' issues! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 21, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2015 A good exhibition on all fronts. Lots or positive comments, (Thanks Dave) we had very few problems, broken bogie, a couple of back to backs going out and the normal operator forgetting to change the points errors. The class 37 needs surgery though I think it has developed the old banana bogie problem. So I will either fit slightly smaller centre wheels or turn down the ones already fitted. The momentum issue is me getting used to new sound decoders. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Brighton East and Acacia Avenue under one roof. Now that I would like to see. Sadly I would need to sell my family to be free of the commitments that go with being a parent of young hooligans. Have a great show, guys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post kipford Posted April 27, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2016 hi guys have not posted for a long while as really nothing has changed. Stafford was a lot of fun and a good show. It is amazing how many people come up and say I lived around there or I was born in the hospital! Last Saturday we did Rotarail for the Fareham Rotary Club, a really nice 1 day exhibition, good to catch up with Ian (Temaraire) who was there with Tidworth and some of Mrs Kipfords Buddlea. Next exhibition is EXPO EM on the 14th/15th May, followed by Southwold in August and Andover in September. That is the lot for the year as Matt is getting Married in October and I have club commitments in November. Real reason for the post was a fellow club member took a couple of photos on his iphone last Saturday, I think they are just very atmospheric. Any do not forget EXPO EM. It is a great social event. PS couple of photos of my new project: The new workshop and a whole lot of very expensive castings This is what it should look like when finished. . 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold kipford Posted July 27, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2016 Anyone who may have been going to Southwold expecting to see Brighton, unfortunately Mrs Kipford has broken her knee and is virtually house bound for the few weeks. A long weekend away is out of the question at the moment, so I have had to pull out of the show, but all being well will be going next year. I will though be at Andover in September no matter what as it is only a short drive from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 4, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2016 Wow not done any updates for along time because nothing new to report. However had a very pleasant day with Andy York yesterday who photographed Brighton in the morning then the SHMRC's Hope-under- Dinmore (of which I am a team member) in the afternoon. Brighton should be in BRM in May 2017 with Hope in the April addition. Anyway we have an exhibition hiatus now until it starts again with 4 exhibitions in 4 months starting in January next year. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold kipford Posted November 15, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hope Andy does not mind but two photos as a taster of what he took, the rest will have to wait until the article: Caroline in full glory, then the station platform building, with detail I forgot was there! 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Excellent photos Dave. When Andy came to photograph Croydon North Street, I was amazed. Even with what I thought was a decent camera, I couldn't even come close to the images he achieved. The trackwork and ballasting look superb, btw.

backofanenvelope Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) It is amazing how many people come up and say I lived around there or I was born in the hospital! Bit late to thread but I was one of those who said "Oh I was born in that hospital" and spent early years around that area. Lovely layout and hope to see again at some point..
