darren01 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 HI Ray I do like what you have done with the over turned lorry, looks very good mate. Dart casting does a very nice policeman in their range of figures, if you are looking for one. All the very best Darren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY NORWOOD Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) A small update I have been making two sheets and rope on the lorry in the timber yard. The rope is made from cotten wound up like the drivers do there ropes. The sheets are made of paper folded up again the same way as drivers do and painted green with water colours, the sheets rope wound round at each end is made of cotten.

darren01 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi Ray That look amazing on the back of the lorry, the way you have done the tarp sheets. A very good bit of modeling thier!. All the best Darren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted October 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2012 Ray, Just caught up on the latest developments. It looks great, but I fear the wrong wheel has come off the sand lorry. Should it not have been the front off side wheel to make the lorry tip that way? Regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY NORWOOD Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) I have been building a PDK kit of an (BR)S M7 30670 To go on Yard Shunter. It was built at Nine Elms in 1897, in 1931 it went to my home shed Feltham (70B) ware I worked as a fireman till 1967, 1937 it to went to Ilfracombe till 1948 at Barnstaple Junction (72E) till 1951 at Exmouth Junction then back to Barnstaple Junction at 1961, then it was scrapped at Eastleigh in 1961. It was built short frames / front sandboxes on Splashers, lever Reverse and did not have the push and pull Westernhouse brake. The kit was very easy to build, just a small problem with the boiler fit between the two tanks. Here it is before the primer was put on. With the primer. With the body just put on the frame. Still plenty to do. It has been very enjoyable to build. RAY70B Edited November 8, 2012 by RAY NORWOOD 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY NORWOOD Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi Devondynosoar I have not got it running as yet, as I have got to get the wire for the pick ups. It will be in black with mixed freight lining. RAY70B 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not planning to have sound at the moment but maybe in the future. Richard and I enjoyed the show. It was a very good show full marks for effort.

Andrew P Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hi Ray, love the pics of the crashed lorry, a lot better than the little effort I made on Loch Leven. Keep the pics of the M7 coming, I had the Hornby one and fitting the chip was a nightmare, I took the chip out to sell it and then my mate bought it and asked me to fit a chip into it again, twice the NIGHTMARE, hahahah. All the best Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
