micklner Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) A overdue update, on a few builds of this year. Thompson Coaches based on the old Bachmann version. Restaurant Flying Scotsman PV using Southern Pride side Comet sides on this Composite. Please note I had other old Comet etched Sides, on testing against the latest Bachmann Thompson's ,the sides are about 1mm too low. Not a lot but would be a pain to correct. Mine were therefore sold on. Edited November 10, 2019 by micklner 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

micklner Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hornby J50 First Loco bought as a wreck , it had been dropped, the front snapped off, and a very bodged repair done. Rebuilt ,repainted and weathered. No 2 is much healthier when bought and has been weathered. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 Looking for details for the Lettering layout on this Cattle wagon please. Old Model Wagon Co castings only kit, of a Great North of Scotland Cattle Wagon , instructions were minimal in the bag. Tatlow has two poor photos of this one , you are unable to see the lettering in either photo. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted November 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 11, 2019 Can't help, sorry, Mick. All I can suggest is there might be a photo in the GNoSR Album (Ian Allan) but I won't be reunited with mine until Xmas. Otherwise, maybe contact the GNoSR Association. According to the thread below, the man to ask (in 2012 at least) was a Des Byrne. Apparently the GNoSRA produced a book on modelling the line. Another option might be to drop Nick Holliday (the third poster here) a PM - he seems knowledgeable (and seems to have the book): https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/56296-gnsr-4mm-kits-any-available/ Some nice work here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwealleans Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Cant speak for Mick, but I used the smallest chain Ambis do (40 lpi?) for mine with their container shackle on the end. To tighten them I use a fine copper loop to attach the chain to, which you can then bend over to pull the chain taut. Once it's blackened it's all but invisible. 5 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
