I believe the harbour master was out with a shovel and bucket as soon as the last cow was loaded. Just the ticket he reckoned for his roses. I hope he composts them first though, overwise Mrs Harbour master might be having a few words with him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if @KNP will whip up a set of those funny little curtains that they use to obscure the plaque until the appropriate moment. And maybe a model bottle of champagne to be busting over the stonework. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted June 9, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) A new project arrived in todays post from flea bay. A Mogul but with the new cab etc, though an old dc Bachmann model still rather nicely moulded. Now, as I have a spare chip, I fancy converting this to dcc as it is would be light enough to go over the viaduct……( still working on the transfers but not happy with my latest version) Meet 9319 a 93xx class 2-6-0 Mogul with the older version 5355 behind for comparison Edited June 9, 2023 by KNP 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I had one of those when they were current, a nice model straight out of the box, but I'm sure that it's going to get the KNP realism treatment pretty soon! 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted June 11, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Converting 93xx chassis to dcc, luckily this was a split chassis and axles anyway so a lot of work saved by this. Very crude test set up to check motor and chip work. Chassis halves with increased isolation …. Can’t have to much you know Test run on rolling road for 15mins each way, no issues, now to squeeze it all in the body…??

Popular Post KNP Posted June 11, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) All squeezed in, tight fit so that won’t be coming out in a hurry ???! Time for a quick around the layout, here is 9319 going over the viaduct and yes it is moving???? Tender is a bit light as it has a tendency to de-rail when going over points in reverse.
