RMweb Gold Taz Posted June 7, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2012 Speedy work their Damian. That's quite an impressive garage/workshop you have there. No wonder your layouts are always so well presented. Also good to see that food is never far from your mind, although cakes instead of pies....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted June 7, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 7, 2012 Last night saw a few of the group get together for one of our regular modelling nights (along with the now customary consumption of various pies and snacks - thanks to Mrs F). At the start of the evening my bit of workbench looked a bit like this: I tend to have several projects on the go in various states, so along with assembling some Parkside Plate wagons I managed to make some progress on a few other wagons too. By the end of the evening: The Plates will receive BR pattern axleguards, requiring the solebar mouldings to be thinned down to give clearance: I suspect I will be replacing the plastic springs with some chunkier cast whitemetal parts (on order from EMGS) and I have a few different types of axleboxes to choose from. I want to make most of these vac fitted, so need to find some suitable brake levers and vees. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium wagonbasher Posted June 7, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 7, 2012 fantastic work. just let me know when you are ready for any board to move South or likewise if you need anything coming North. I am in Bawtry on Tuesday and Friday next week. A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 fantastic work. just let me know when you are ready for any board to move South or likewise if you need anything coming North. I am in Bawtry on Tuesday and Friday next week. A Yes great. I'll see how I get on in the next couple of days, however most of the work is still to come in building up the track bed and its support. If I know young spams he will want to deal with the whole layout together for the scenic treatment, so may be worth me puting the track bed on and him doing the first fix scenery, I can then then put the wooden contour front on. I think at that point the boards can then 'fly the nest'. I know it means a bit of a wait but it will be the most efficient way. Hopefully at that point there may be track available and we can all start plumbing in our bits (so to speak) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A No pressure - I'm just being bossy. And yes its a good plan on the regular 'Bawtry goods'. Now how wide's your car? In fact, how wide should I have made them? ha ha ha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted June 8, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2012 MJT axleguards Mark ? One of them has MJT, as I started it some time ago, the others will have Bill Bedford sprung axleguards - mainly because I find them easier to work with.
