manna Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 G'day Folks Thank You Shaun, sorry I hadn't realised you'd replied, shows you how often I check this thread....Opppps Couple of loco pics on the layout. First up, latest loco, a J4 4084, still a few bits to do, including the LNER on the tender, (to small) had it towing 28 wagons around the layout to-day, which is twice as many as it's allowed to haul. Plus a shot of J3 3329. manna 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manna Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 G'day Folks Fixed a few loco's and ran a few trains. My Q1 has always had a bit of a problem with the the motor(XO4) kept jumping out of gear, so I spend some time on it, XO4 was removed and a 'Can' motor fitted, now it runs smoothly, but the worm gear, sticks out a bit ! The Midland 0-6-0 was given a run, but is a fraction to tall for one bridge, so a couple of mm, was removed from the chimney. The ancient G1 was entrusted to a shunt job at the Jam Factory, and is seen here returning to East Goods yard, with a solitary Fruit van, ( Packed with Jam) C12 is seen at 'The Hale' with a Push Pull train. + a N2 at Edgware. manna 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manna Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 G'Day Folks Another 'New' loco has finally taken to the tracks, B2,' Sir Sam Fay'. built from a GBL Director (lengthened) a old type Hornby 0-6-0 re-wheeled with Romfords, and a new chassis for the tender. The Q1 has had a shroud fitted over the bright blue worm gear, doesn't stick out so much now. manna 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manna Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 G'Day Folks Sorry for no comments on the last set of pictures, for some reason, it only let me put up pictures. So to recap, we have double headed J3's ( bet you worked that out !) and a J4 on the 'Jam Factory ' working, but did you notice the wheat hopper, in the make up, been a BIG, change at the 'Jam Factory' they are going into the 'Biscuit' business, so the need for Wheat, they'll also need Sugar, more wagons! Today it's having a look around the goods yard at Edgware. C1, 3299 on a local passenger train. At the bufferstops. Lastly, 'What's been hiding in the Goods shed for 20 years' needs a new proper tender, and some paint on the bogie wheels. manna 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manna Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 G'Day Folks The day had to come, with a rail hating wife, Edgware is now closed. The stock has been packed away, the workbench to has been shutdown and demolition will start shortly, I'm not saying this is the end of my modelling life, I won't be closing this thread, it may well reopen again in a year or two, once the opposition has been dealt with ! Also I will still be around, although in a reduced capacity. manna 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 31A Posted October 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 13, 2021 Oh no! Very sorry to hear that! I've enjoyed reading all your stuff about Edgware. I hope you are able to find a solution and soon be back to entertain us, in the meantime I look forward to hearing from you on other threads, including mine as and when I get around to updating it. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2750Papyrus Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I am sorry to hear of the closure and of the implied tension. I have very much enjoyed reading your Edgware thread and your contributions on this and other forums so a big thank-you, and I hope your circumstances improve and you will be able to return to layout building. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2021 Horrified that you've had to shut down. As 2750 has said the surrounding atmosphere must be inferred to be horrid. I hope that improves to everyone's benefit. The pic of the pair of N2s had me reflecting that I saw one in my early yoof, somewhere near Highbury football stadium. I had a Dublo N2, so I knew what it was. I sincerely hope domestic fences can mend and Edgware will rise again soonest. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted October 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Also sad to hear your news.
