Marcus 37 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The Thumper looks superb. Very nice job indeed. The inspection saloon is a lovely model. Is that the same type of vehicle as "Caroline" that still runs around now? Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 31, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi Marcus Thanks for your comments, the inspection saloon is Caroline today it's just green now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted July 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi, it was good to see Tidworth at Barnstaple yesterday, enjoyed seeing the variety of stock you have. It was a bit of a shame that the layout opposite drowned out your sound effects.... Thanks for the info on the Duha 'big bags' as well, I think they could serve as UKF fertilizer loads 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 31, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think they could serve as UKF fertilizer loads Well they do on Tidworth Rich. Thanks for your comments fella but you're right about the sounds opposite, a damn nuisance especially the class 20 when you've already got a headache like I did!

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted July 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi Ian, Been following your layout since meeting you at BescotBeast's Pendeford Sidings. Was never expecting to get to see the layout in the flesh, so finding out that you are coming to Uckfield came as a great surprise, I'm a director of Uckfield MRC so will be there both days and I really look forward to seeing you there.

NSE Mule Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi Ian, Great to meet you, Paul and Tidworth yesterday. The quality of the layout is outstanding and truly inspirational especially as I'm planning that same NSE period. Also apologies for the prototypical failure of 50031 (sound wise), the walks did me good though If you ever need a helper when exhibiting down this way then feel free to give me a shout, may have the 4TC kit built by then.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 31, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi Ian, I really look forward to seeing you there. Gary Hi Gary I was hoping that perhaps you and Simon might come and help out with the operating for a bit, just hadn't got around to asking yet! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted July 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2016 I would love to do some playing with Tidworth. I will make sure whoever is in charge of what I'm up to gives me some time to help you out. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted August 4, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Evening all Just a quick update on the Thumper saga................. All three cars lined up minus underframes. Just a couple of bits to finish with the small brush again (every time I look I notice something else!) plus the grilles need some matt black. Next will be gloss varnish followed by decals then matt varnish and reassemble, we're getting there! Edited October 18, 2022 by Temeraire 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted August 23, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Afternoon all Remember this?? Connex thumper running in on Exford Park 20th October 2014. The 3 car thumper. 7th November 2014. The cut and shut centre coach 11th November 2014. Well..................... Drum Roll........ Badoom Tish!! Tah Dah! Project at last complete apart from a light roof and underframe weathering! The pics aren't too flattering away from the unit's natural environment of Tidworth but just thought I'd post my finished effort nearly two years after it's inception. Once I get Tidworth up to play again soon I'm sure the 3H will feature heavily in pics of the layout! Right now that's over where did I put those warflats???
