I think Enterprising Mike is right people want instant gratification. The Big Warship is a classic example, it must have been about 5 or more years ago I said how I went about building my example and said to those waiting if you really want one you would make it yourself or ask/pay someone*. March this year they all had damp panties because their must have loco finally reached them, a few days short of it being announced eleven years before. Far longer that the class was in service. In the past I have been reported to the mods for showing my home made model when the RTR one is shi cra po rubbish. * I got no commissions. I'm still fairly confident I'll produce an original NBL Type 2 diesel electric before Dapol. There are 2 Bank Holidays coming - it's just the thought of filing the cab glazing that's frightening me 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 20, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2019 Earlier today I took a snapshot of unread post. It was nice to see that the largest number of unread posts were layout subjects, but how many had wandered off topic like this has, thirteen in all. Closely followed by stuff in Wheeltappers, that could really be on something like Faceache, I counted 11. There were 8 topics on model making which surprised me, 7 on model or modelling related topics and 6 on new or announced products. 4 questions on the prototype, 3 on exhibition announcements and 3 on my favorite, good old DCC, only one on non DCC elelectrickery. I only read one and that was about painting class 15 and 16 in blue with TOPS numbers, the poster was asking who could do it for him…..he did get advised to buy an airbrush, and not by me. It was pleasing to see that layouts and modelling featured quite well overall considering the time wasted by many of us, including me, on here. I have the sides of the Trailer First finished. Only now I realise I don't have enough Tri-ang chassis and roofs for all my planned conversions. Next show or visit to B&H models in Lincoln (lovely shop) I will buy a couple of cheap ones. 4 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 No, I'd have to make it 21mm wide and that's too much like hard work 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to nick the top edge of the rails every scale 60ft, that way you keep the long length which is easier to lay. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Clive Wish you'd muttered before, I saw some Triang?Hornby coach chasis in some misc coaching bits for sale at AVR on Friday. I didn't buy 'cos whilst there were some quality bits included, I didn't recognise what they were. (SR I think) (I know there were 2 whitemetal EMU ends). Just as a rough idea how much do you call cheap? In case I can find myself nearby again. All the best TONY 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 22, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) The cab on the Leading Motor Brake Second has been made, so I have had a six car train running. Photos hopefully later tonight as the sun light coming through the windows at the moment is not good for photographing toy trains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmtaYdsuzjc Edited April 22, 2019 by Clive Mortimore 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 22, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2019 I have been trawling Youtube for Japanese bands and most either try to sound like American heavy rock bands or are too poppy for my taste until I found, very much in the same sound band as Band Maid.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 22, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2019 Photos of the Edinburgh to Glasgow Swindon Inter-City unit. A big thank you to Martyn (Signaler 69) for his inspiration of using Trix coaches for these trains. Leading Driving Motor Brake Second Open The first of the two Intermediate Driving Motor Second Opens. On the Edinburgh to Glasgow services they very rarely were the leading coach on a six coach train. They would be on the few three car trains that ran. The similar units on the Ayrshire services they were commonly at the front. The Trailer First Corridor, some compartments were downgraded to second class making them Trailer Composite Corridor coaches, like the ones on the Ayrshire services. Both sides of the Trailer First Corridor Restaurant Buffet, I have hid the trains motor in the buffet end. With the motor in the middle of the train on a terminus type layout means the motor coach isn't pushing five unpowered coaches over the point work. The two Intermediate Driving Motor Second Opens, so I wasn't making two the same I have added a LNER type gangway cover on the right hand one instead of a BR one. By the looks of things the one with the BR gangway cover needs its windscreens made a tad bigger, they are the same size as a door window. The two Driving Motor Brake Second Opens , the right hand one is an intermediate version. On viewing photos of the six car trains in service not all would have two DMSO but three DMBSO, two with leading cabs and one in the same place as I have a DMSO. There is still loads of work on these, the sides need filler to hide the joints, the underframes need making, new vents on the roofs and then there is the painting and glazing, so maybe in 10 years time it will be a complete train. 9 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
