At least I am a plastic puff!! My parents from Scoucepool born in Cardiff and started growing up in the Southwest. Oh gawd what have I said!!!

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 A few photos from the bits of tarting done as time allows over the last 24hrs... Locos everywhere. There's method in the placement though, those on the platform need the most TLC, those at the rear are OK. Some scenic touching up in various locations, including reed trimming. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2014 OK, it's quiz time. How on earth do you get the body off one of Bachmann's BR Std 4MT tank? I've run out of screws to undo and the chassis and body are still one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted July 21, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 Still looks good, how old is the layout now? Not sure you should be putting India Pale Ale on your wheels though, but if you have a surplus that needs disposing of you know where I am. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 Around ten of your Earth years. I know this one... 10 1/2 years since it's first show. 11 1/2 years since we started building it - a couple of months before my son was born. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've run out of screws to undo and the chassis and body are still one! Yes, that did appear to be an option. I've found two more screws hidden well into the tank undersides. The next bit of the 'Design not very clever' is that there are now parts which appear to be glued to the chassis and the body. Muppets. Obviously designed as an ancient Chinese puzzle.

We'll I don't actually need 40 of the same class and none of my future 4mm plans call for that many. Also the sale cash will come in handy for funding the 7mm stock collection.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 Nope, bring the t9 as it is. Loco to train is tension lock. Passenger stock has kadees between vehicles, freight has a mixture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 A Spam Can would look great on Pencarrow ;-) Rule one can apply. It does on Kelly Bray; there are a couple of improbable diseasals that make appearances. Rule 1 will apply on Pencarrow but I think a Beattie Well Tank, O2 and Ivatt tank will come before a 7mm spam. The head shunt is long enough though... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 We actually have 5 BWTs - John has two and I've 30585-7. I've not got any O2s but I think John has one. A Kernow O2 is on the cards for future 4mm layout plans though. Out of interest, which kit are you using for your 7mm Ivatt build? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Kernow O2 is on the cards for future 4mm layout plans though. Out of interest, which kit are you using for your 7mm Ivatt build? It is the ACME one, not sure of it's heritage, probably a Harris design. But it looks ok, it's an old one without all the cast valvegear. I have been debating whether to get a set of castings from John. It is an all nickel silver set of etches, only down side is someone pressed the rivets poorly. I have repaired one tank side and all looks much better now. I will need an O2 myself, I sold the first one I built. It was from Meteor. With additions it made a nice model. It is either is or the Gibson one, Roxeys unfortunately has a fault with the cab. Edited July 22, 2014 by N15class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted July 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2014 'Chod' eh? Didn't see that at Plimuff. That must have been shedded at Bricklayers Legs or Weighmoth. I'm still hoping to 'relieve' Spams of his spare Spams, as the LSWR main line needs lots more than I have collected so far. Looking froward to seeing the pics from Bornstipple.

P 34033 Chard was at Exmufff Jct 1951-64. Surprised you didn't see it down there. Appears lots in photos and was one of the first we renamed.
