RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted December 20, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2019 I had just started to read this thread in the 'Help & Advice' section - When I saw the names of some of the contributors and the (no-doubt) erudite and highly technical discussions that had started up very quickly, I did rather feel sorry for the poor person who had initially posted the query. It can be made into such a can of worms. I metaphysically put my head in my hands. At least I know what works for me. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallpaul69 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Talking of the Dark Side, I'm off to a land far far away...… this afternoon as I am going with my son and grandson to watch the new Star Wars film. Don't expect to get much modelling inspiration from it but a bit of escapism from the pre Christmas grind is welcome! Cheers Paul 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been everywhere and ably served numerous railways AFAIK. My first experience of it was on the mid hants in the late 70s and here it is still giving pleasure. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted December 22, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2019 Since my warflat had returned from weathering by @toboldlygo I've been trying to pluck up the courage to fit the chains to my Humber Scout cars and attach them to the floor and sides inspired how @john dew did on his Granby layout. I knew they would be fiddley and I was right ! I used some Hornby R7200 articulated screw link couplings in the end for the shackles as I didn't like the Roxey ones previously sourced. Like John, I drilled 0.6mm holes in the sides to take pins to superglue the chain and to try to keep it tensioned. As most of my modelling, it doesn't look too bad to a blind man on a galloping horse. I've decided now just to fit chains and hooks to my warwell and have it running empty for now. Hopefully tomorrow will bring me something for @Trains&armour to shunt it with in the yard. 24 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
