RMweb Premium Barry O Posted April 22, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2021 It is amazing how much dust had accumulated in the club rooms. Once vacuumed everything ran ok.. the Graphite on the track still works! @Michael Edge.. we seem to have a change of gauge on one of the points on the main line though. Looking forward to when we can have running sessions again. Baz 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted April 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2021 I've never been entirely happy with the plastic chaired pointwork but I'm sure I can fix it - I want to get the cattle dock working as well. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built them (Airfix) about 35 years ago, for the late but not entirely lamented Hartford Junction. Good to see them in context at last. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted May 27, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 27, 2021 So we have now tidied up all of the chapel "show" crates, plus the area around the layout. Mike Edge has been down today " adjusting" some pointwork. A frog needs rewiring then time to clean the track and regraphite it. Then..signals to be mororised and the missing houses built...

RMweb Gold innocentman Posted May 31, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2021 With controlled access to Chapel, its time to finish some new stock for the next outing. Every since I started building kits in my late teens, I always wanted to scratch build a loco and the choice for me was a LNWR coal tank or a Fowler Patriot (no complicated multi plain curves!). Well, I have finally built one of them, although I decided to go down the design an etch route. I give you 45539 “EC Trench” I forgot to put the other smoke deflector on for the photo Tender is my own etched sides on a comet chassis. After an hour test running on Chapel this afternoon she (or is it he?) is ready for a good scrub and possibly a coat of primer tomorrow Andy 14 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it was the wing rail that had become detached from the frog baseplate. The wing rail just happened to be the one with the wire on it from the point motor switch. All fixed now 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted July 9, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 9, 2021 Track has been cleaned and some graphite re-instated.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 19, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2022 Liverpool might almost v be doable from here but the 4th is already booked, and admission ticketed, for Fawley Hill so it has full precedence. Shame you're missing Pigs Hill this year. N.b. Pigs Hill - translated from the old English 'Swine Dun' . And over time lazily corrupted in both spoken and written terms to Swindon 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
