Chris Higgs Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Instructions are over-rated. Real men shouldn't be reading them. Hint: in this case, you will need to read them. There is one part that must be done in exactly the specified order, otherwise it goes horribly wrong. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris This sounds like a challenge I'll have to get one of the GNR ones now, without ticking the box for the instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted February 28, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2012 These went to Shop 2 Friday. I still need to write the instructions though. Chris Thanks for the tip Chris. Not sure I can really justify more 'foriegn' cattle wagons but as I like them I will be getting one! Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted February 29, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 29, 2012 Came across these couple of shots last night whilst looking for something else so thought I would pop them up. The first picture sees Bodmin indulging in a spot of shunting. This one is for bcn Pete and shows an unaltered Farish 08 which I had chipped for a customer - completely forgot I had snapped it on the colliery to see how it looked. Banger blue looks quite good I think.......needless to say Kim's not so keen on this one! Jerry 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted February 29, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) This one is for bcn Pete Thanks Jerry...that's the last thing I was expecting when scrolling down... Banger blue looks quite good I think.......needless to say Kim's not so keen on this one! This layout could run all era's and still look fantastic...but (for me) that image is particularly compelling. One could imagine it trundling around, displacing wagons whilst a Blue/grey DMU passes by in front...stop me if I am getting boring... PS. They are both terrific photos...

RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted March 1, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2012 Case in point! This layout could stretch its legs in BR Blue ALL day at an exhibition....and still attract big attention. Don't let Kim read that!... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why the bus is there - I had probably plonked it there on its way to the display cabinet, I have a number of these rather nice OBs.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted March 11, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just back from a very enjoyable weekend exhibiting in Macclsefield and again local members were encouraged to bring along their 2FS locos to turn a wheel on Highbury. The Blackberry Black beauty that arrived and was quickly put to work has to rank right up there the MR spinner in terms of quality, good looks, and complete innapropriateness for work on the colliery - perfect for this thread then!! Sadly I only had my phone available to record events but hopefully the resulting snaps aren't too bad. For the record, the LNWR Prince of Wales 4-6-0 belongs to Nick Dearnley and was built by John Greenwood. Jerry 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted March 12, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2012 I remember George. He was a policeman and drove into our yard in the police car half full of MDF he had picked up off the motorway. I think he was hoping to scrouge some wire. A bit of a character George. Mind you I think he raised money for charity with his layout. Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted April 6, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2012 Nicely settled in our hotel in York ready for the show this weekend. Of for a walk around the walls followed by a couple of hours in the railway museum before setting the layout up this afternoon at the Racecourse. Should be a good weekend. Alan Whitehouse, amongst others is, is helping us out so am hopeful of some exotic and unusual guest locos! Drop by and say hello if you are at the show.
