georgeT Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Morning Guys, My last comments were for Ray, who is just starting out in 0 gauge, all l said was why bother with building the GWR locos he wanted when you can buy some of them ready made, and cheaper in some cases, and yes l know the joy of building your own locos and stock and the big buzz you get when you see it run (hopefully) for the first time, and the hundreds wagon kits which are not made in RTR market (yet) another big factor is that you have to hard wire for DCC sound and make room for the speaker, were as most RTR are DCC ready, as l know Ray is a DCC man... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But WE keep in touch and see each other when able, although it's getting harder now to do the journey for both of us, we still have the Old Dog and Bone to bang ideas off one another.

Hope you and yours are well, cheers, Peter Hello Peter, l don't build locos and stock much now, as l find the quality of RTR models are so much better these days, so why spend time and money on them for me anyway, please go to the 7mm section and look for my latest layout 'Grundy Street'...

georgeT Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 After having a real nice break from kit/scratch building in O gauge l have decided to get back into it, so l have got all the old tools out from the shed for a fresh start, so off to Telford l went looking for a nice cheap Bulleid WC/BB to build, sadly l found nothing worth buying all the ones there were not fo me, apart from the Finney 7 one that is, but that was way out of my spending, l then met Rob Pulman and after telling him all my problems l had he sent me along to the MOK stand, the M/N is being re-designed and will not ready for a while and then l saw their N15 King Arthur and fell in love with it, so l blew all my pocket money in one go... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Thanks Rob, So pleased you guided me over to the MOK stand at Telford on Saturday, shame their merchant navy was not ready, so the King Arthur was bought instead. I Want to build my T9 first before starting the N15, as l have always liked the T9 with the eight wheel water carts. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks EKR, Great to have your company, after so long away l seemed to have forgotten the way l used to build back then, luckily l kept all of my tools and gadgets l used to use, that's why l want to build a T9 before l tackle the MOK Arthur which seems a little daunting to me at the mo.... the T9 I am (hopefully) building is No 30338 in 1960 BR lined black, with the later BR totem and all of the vacuum / Westinghouse gear was removed..
