Jack00 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Double headed 22's on a clay working (west fraddon) would look great. Your new adventure looks very good indeed, lots of Cornish goodies...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggyman Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hi Jack Nice to see you back....... Thought we might have lost you...... Maybe eaten by one of your partners snakes... But BEER & summer fun (whatever that might entail) is a good enough excuse.... Look forward to your updates Cheers Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLR Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'm afraid West Fraddon is developing a thick layer of dust at the moment due to lack of outings this year, however it hopefully should make an appearance at the Autumn Steam Gala at the B&WR on dates 5th September 2014 - 7th September 2014 all going well.The new venture is cracking on, I should get another update soon - not really taken many pics of it.

paulprice Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yep Stu, but not where you seen me last. In addition to my new job, I'll soon be doing Police community work. Have you been a naughty boy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Haha!no Paul, I accidentally made it sound like community service. Whoops. Bit of an update, I have board 1 working, need to carry on the testing before fixing down the track. Then I can start board 2. Better get the soldering iron out!

Jack00 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Finally I picture of progress, been having trouble uploading to RMweb. Re-worked trackplan and the scenics on the viewing side have also had a face lift. Instead of bushy shrubs will be subtle static grass and lineside fencing. The track now works on board 1. Just the North end of the station to test and fix down. Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bill, hope all is well, summer fun consists mainly of Nice largers/beers and plenty of food! Haha. All the best Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Looking good Jack. Which track did you decide to go with in the end or have I missed this in a previous post?Just bog-standard code 75, Jeremy. But I managed to get it smooth, operable and it seems to look ok so far (Just means I'll have to work twice as hard at the scenics ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish trains jez Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 summer fun consists mainly of Nice largers/beers and plenty of food! . I've been doing more of that than modelling recently too! It's definitely the summer of beer and with a beer festival attendance due this weekend, that will be another weekend where the modelling room door remains closed!

Jack00 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Just so hot in the railway room/cave. We went to a cider festival, and St.Ives for a steak house feast! As you say its model railway neglect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack00 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 4571 descends towards Mount Hawke with a Newquay-Truro service. The same loco on the return working, Truro-Newquay coasts into St.Agnes, before making a hard slog up towards Goonbell halt. Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack00 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Will see if I can make a video to post up soon, especially now I got my prairie working again (it seized but I managed to free it up again) Apparently 45xx/55xx were the staple diet for the Chacewater branch. And the Cornwall Railway Society have new photos added from the branchline. I'll see if I can attach the link. Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
