Any new updates? Hello Andy l wish l had not taken this commission on as the plans / drawings are vague to say the least, but the kits are over fifteen years old so l should have known better l guess but all that being said its starting to look like a west country...pictures to follow... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you posting and some pics again mate, BUT, I don't think that safety Valve in Red and White is correct, surely it should be smaller and in Brass. Other than that minor detail what a superb job mate, well done. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted January 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2020 Not sure how RM works but my 'followed topics' seems to be down to 3 so I wished I'd written them all down. Saw your response to Andy P so will now look back on this thread. Hope you have a great 2020 year of retirement and loco building.

Cheers, Peter Hello Peter, And a belated happy new year to you and yours, l guess its hard to keep up with me (and Andrew P) with all the changes we seem to have, but my main interest is building all sorts of stock locos or wagons for me and others and layout building has nearly always failed shortly after building them with this ar that not being right, so decided to spend more time on what l enjoy my main thread is on here with georgeTs workbench where l post things that l am building , nice to hear from you again, take care... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the thumbs up Peter, much appreciated this thread is where l put all of my efforts on as l have given up on layouts to concentrate on building stock for me and others..

RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted January 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2020 Swad Lane was sold last year. I had to cancel 4 in 2018 - we spent 22 weeks looking after our granddaughter and I did not have room at home to store it. Deesdale Road is still around and went out in July 2019. I would be happy to be on the circuit with it, old as it is although it does now have some working points' as well as the old wire pull ones. I have ideas on producing an N-gauge 'replica' because it has many different options to keep me interested so with enough room to set up I can then run it in my 'Engine Shed' I do have the 'skeleton' Cadley Hill that Andy P tired of but apart from a 'test run' have not spent any time on it at all. Home layout wise I was not happy on Rothley (and Swithmore in place of a fiddle yard) so ripped up most of the track ... Andy P noticed that I had boards on the rest as it has now become a 'store'. Family, club 'politics' and adding to the main club OO layout has taken up a lot of time although I have also built a small N-gauge layout in an old gun-box approx 7" x 48" with three platforms and four sidings all options via a single DC wired central point i.e.'proper measurements! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
