RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted June 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 27, 2019 While he is away shall we fill his thread up with utter bullocks, you know stuff like what you were modelling or what trains you have run. The stuff that never gets mentioned on here. I will start, today I was doing some model making. Using bits left over from other conversions I have been cutting out the parts for two Gresley coaches, an all door SK 61 ft one and a GE section 52 ft FK from the old Hornby Gresleys. I still have enough bits to have a go at making a TSO. I also ran some trains on my layout. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwordsmith Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I wondered why it was so quiet as as it’s summer and all my trains are in boxes, I spent yesterday working, but plan to spend today relaxing in the sunshine that said, it’s only a plan, and we all know what happens to plans! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2019 No modelling from me off to Brum, for the weekend for a couple of concerts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I'm on holiday in the Greek islands so no modelling for me. Plenty of other fun though. I do keep running an idea for a Greek island model railway round my head though. HO German equipment left behind after the war based around the main port on a small island. Freight, tourists, tavernas. Maybe a castle and a church and some Venetian architecture. My wife thinks i should finish the two layouts I've started.....I'm just wondering about sources of 3.5mm cats.....

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'll be taking Tinners into work next week, to prep it for the Hayle show at the end of August. I need to redo the trees, or at least trim the pick-axes off, plus weather a few more wagons and see if I can add a section to isolate a loco which will tow in a train, rather than just push in some wagons. I also need to redo the lighting rig using LED strips. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted June 28, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'm taking the 11.38 Hull Trains to the X (if it is actually working) and then a whizzy Unit thing to Broadstores via Ashford Hinternotional and Cantersburied. Should be able to go paddling by about 7 this evening after visiting the Mighty Red Box at Margate to have my preliminary job interview. Saturday I shall melt. Sunday I might go and see some birds or the RH & DR. Monday I reverse today's journey. During my visit I might be allowed to assist in the operation of my Godson's layout, if not I shall drink copious amounts of Cider. Enjoy the and behave yourselves you daft b#####s. Oh, Mr Pinfled, most Greek pu##ies are mangy and thin so 3mm will do nicely. Yammas. 2 2 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2019 In Broadstairs main street, very near the beach end, is a little bakery in an old building at right angles to the main road. We stayed in Broadstairs about 4 years ago and I introduced the bakery into the concept of bacon croissants- they sold bacon and croissants but not together. I'd love to know if they sell them now. Enjoy the trip, besto fluck with the interview. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Keeps your wits about you after Ashford, once the whizzy thing slows down (from 140mph to Southern Region Sedate mph), where the stations towards Canterburger are occasionally known as Why, Kill'em and Cart'em to Canterbury. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilmey, 140 mph! That's quite fast for a pair of Ducks. Will it really do that down the main from Platform 12 at St. Panc? Don't get too excited about the job chaps. I suspect many locals will want to be Santa in the Grotty. Philth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Yep, or as close to 140 as makes no difference. I've consistently timed them on GPS in the high 130s between the London tunnels and the Thames tunnel, and it's an even longer stretch beyond Ebbsfleet to get sustained high speed. Wave to my mum as you cross the Medway viaduct, around 5 mins E of Ebbsfleet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2019 I have finally finished all the cobbles (setts) on 'Bethesda Sidings' and actually gave them a first wash of diluted paint this morning. I've also been preparing a couple of locos to go off to Tom Foster for weathering (a Dean Goods and a Class 22). 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
