Porcy Mane Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Nice bit of patch painting and a fitted jobby with 2’ 0†Dowty’s http://flic.kr/p/9spAsM Image needs flipping horizontally though David. And from Davids Flikr sets http://flic.kr/p/9sszPj http://flic.kr/p/9spAEa Edit; Just noticed in the last link, the 16 tonner next to the loco has cleats on each visible panel and side door, (Strings still attached.) so must have been manufactured or modified with tarpauling use in mind...

Porcy Porcy, Many thanks for pointing out the image was the wrong way round, it has now been corrected - I never noticed it was wrong when I first scanned it! It looks better now, much more like Toton in fact! Perhaps in its original form I should have titled it Toton reflections.

Perhaps it's the 'unrealistic backscene' He's made quite a nice job of the back scene here. Even managed to paint a goods train in it. http://www.flickr.co...57625418636168/ Glad he didn't do the abstact version back scene with a motorway cutting through!

Jan Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hi Pennine MC, Gaaaaah! I knew it didn't look right.... Schoolboy Error #1 - Achieved Ho hum.... it will be shopped in due course.... I'll leave the photo here just to warn people. Thanks for your kind words (if not your eagle eyes! ) ....and corrected.... relatively (and surprisingly) pain-free, but I had to push through the Wall Of Fear (having managed to find the scattered remnants of what passes for my current mojo down the back of the sofa..). I may leave it there... it seems wrong to paint it... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted August 2, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2012 Some great pictures on this thread. I particularly like the stove pipe chimney on Monks siding box above - not sure you would get away with that on a model without comment!

Michael Delamar Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 it was the tender vents on the caprotti black 5 that stuck out to me, ive never noticed that style before, but yes that stove pipe on the box is great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave777 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Some interesting other details too - the fence with missing slats, the big wheel in the signal box (for operating the LC gates I assume?), couple of lumps of coal on the back of the tender... What's the tall grey post/box thing underneath where the chap is leaning over the stairs? I assume it's a post like the white ones on the gates, but it's smaller and not painted white.

BR standards had similar but more hidden. Keep up the good work spotting the minerals, it's good to see what's in the background too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry A bit off topic but here's a pic of Bidston East Junction taken from Birkenhead North No2, with a down New Brighton train passing the box with an ex Northern lines 502 in use as a de-icing train stabled in the siding on the right. Taken in the summer of 1980. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjnewitt Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Here's something for the thread that's recently rolled off the workbench (not onto the floor though!). It needs painting but has since been primed. A 16T rarity, one of the few vacuum fitted rivetted examples built by Cambrian Wagon Works as part of lot 2806 in the late fifties. The basis is the Parkside kit and is to P4 standards with Exactoscale wheels, Masokits sprung W-Irons and screw couplings, modified Masokits brakegear and levers, homemade 2'0 1/2" Self Contained buffers, ABS vacuum cylinders (I know they should be different sizes but I got lazy), vacuum pipes made from wound guitar wire and 0.035" plastic rod as well as other added details. Some more detail can be found here. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
