Pixie Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Excellent day out today and thanks to Jerry for letting me play - I promise we'll sort out Mission:Bracknell! Jerry - those kits from BHE look like shot down Jindenco, having done a little Google-ing. Reading around, they're 'fun' to build in 4mm so it'll be interesting to have a go in 2mm. Still, I've always wanted that LNWR chemical pan wagon, I just didn't know it! Pix Edited January 27, 2013 by Pixie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

11D Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) They say there's a prototype for everything - an 08, an industrial and 2 car 108 DMU are presently running on the S&D at Midsomer Norton - but all in green.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted January 30, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well Southampton was indeed an excellent weekend with a real feast of 2FS modelling. We had Mick and Yvonne Simpson next door with the superb Wansbeck Road, my helpers Tom E, Rich Brummit and Pixie all brought their new 2mm toys with them to play with and, to top it all, we won the 'Founders cup' for best in show - marvellous. Oh, and we had a really good curry on the saturday night. Many thanks to all. The down side of the weekend was the very sad news of the death of Paul Martin on Friday night. Paul was a close friend and long standing champion of all things 2mm and N and will be greatly missed. Paul, along with his wife Paula, had been one of the regular operators on Highbury over the years, I will miss his infectious 'hello matey' greeting. Our thoughts are with Paula and the rest of his family and friends at this difficult time. RIP matey. Jerry 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted May 19, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2013 Couple of snaps from Expo EM where on the Sunday we did our first all c.1970ish diesel day. Pixie provided the stock with my locos. The Teddy bear was the star performer although I'm not sure Pix had a full grasp on the size of the off-stage cassettes!! A really enjoyable weekend.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted May 20, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2013 I saw all those 16Ts, must have been an epic session to build them all... A real soldering marathon by Pixie. They are all Stephen Harris kits, and beautifully weathered too. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woolleysh33p Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi I'm an n gauge modeller and I want to use alternate couplings instead of rapido's. What couplings do you use as they blend in, and look more realistic. Also, would they fit on an n gauge shassis Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What couplings do you use as they blend in, and look more realistic. Also, would they fit on an n gauge shassis Thanks I use DG couplings and with a bit of work they can be made to fit any chassis. I would recommend you have a look through this thread http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/44897-2mm-couplings-options-choices-and-recommendations/ Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted October 17, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2013 With Tucking Mill now on the circuit Highbury doesn't leave the workshop all that often but we are at Cardiff this coming weekend - see http://www.cardiffmodelrail.org.uk/ Come along and say hello. Simon and Andrew Grand will be helping us at various times over the weekend and hopefully bringing something 'innapropriate' to have a spin over the North Somerset Light.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted October 18, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2013 Have a good show Jerry. Will you be at Taunton Rail-Ex this year? Don Thanks Don. We are not exhibiting there but I will be going down one day but not sure which one yet. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted October 18, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2013 As I will be a member of Somerset RMC I will suggest Tucking Mill for next year. I hope to call in one day at the exhibition this year but due to personal circumstances I am not helping with the event. Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted October 24, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 24, 2013 We had an excellent time in Cardiff with Simon and Andy Grand providing great support, and a few guest locos - pictures of which I will post up in the next few days when I download them from my camera. For now I thought I would add this which I snapped on my phone. The debate about layout height has been done many times and I don't want to enter in to it here, suffice to say that you will never please everybody. I favour a fairly high level view accepting that it will be too high for some. Here is my solution - a compromise but generally well received.
