RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted March 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2016 Are they special Indian colours, different from Rowney's I believe they are known as Rowney Sahib on the sub continent. Here we see an image from the Mumbai EM gauge society exhibition 2015 in which eminent modeller Rajit Tim Guptar Shackleton Singh suffered a slight setback whilst demonstrating the use of Humbrol weathering powders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 1, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Well, I've decided to scrap the monorail idea and go back to a conventional two-rail system. It was proving difficult to to engineer and taking far too long. Further updates later. Edited April 1, 2016 by Stubby47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Northroader Posted April 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2016 Sorry to hear that, stubby, it was a brave effort at trying something really different. Shortage of time is the great enemy for us all. I'm sure what you come up with will be well worth lookin at. Hoping to get to Taunton and see it?

nomisd Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 What incredible photos! Are these locos still there and working? They were still there working in the early 1990s but haven't been reported since. . They are Robert Stephenson, Hawthorns built in 1943 for the Steel Corporation of Bengal. They are seen in these photos at Kulti Pipe Works of the Indian Iron & Steel Co in West Bengal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2016 They really did get me thinking. An interesting might have been for the new Hornby 0.4.0.st.

I bought a 4x2 sheet of thin ply to form the baseboard skin, then found it wouldn't fit through the boot opening. Well, obviously it will fit, but not horizontally or widthways.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 3, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2016 Some colour has been added. The hues are not as garish as in the photo..
