This will highlight any areas needing further attention, can see a few in these pictures, as I have said before - funny what you don't when working on them but then see in pictures!! Photos are good at showing things up, posted this photo of my NER gunpowder van converted from a Mink on ANTB and only then did I notice the tare weight at a jaunty angle... No one has pointed it out, hasn't anyone else noticed or are they just being polite? 8 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Same here, it wasn't until I posted a picture of my scratch built weighbridge office that I realised I hadn't painted the return of the brick plinth by the bottom of the door frame.

Popular Post KNP Posted August 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) With the very sad news of the passing of Mick Bonwick here is a picture of Fowler Ploughing Engine that he gave me in Aug '19 for no reason other than he thought it would look better on Little Muddle than his layout. A great guy that was full of enthusiasm and knowledge for this hobby of ours which he happy to pass on to all and sundry at the drop of a hat. His weathering skills were sublime and I had the privilege to visit his railway shed only a few weeks ago where I saw his work first hand and it was very good, in fact superb would be a better description. I shall miss his comments and quips that frequented this thread almost on a daily basis plus his many pm's where he was not only asking questions but passing on advice. He will be missed.

Two Parkside PC86 Gunpowder Vans. Just thought I would mention that all my ventilated vans have a central upper supports holding the top edge firm. I have found over the years that I tend to pick them up in the middle and glue edge between the side wall top and roof can be minimal so the sides get pushed in - this bar stops that happening. Lead also glued to floor. Spooky, not only have I been building wagons too, but also a GPV and for the first time used exactly the same method for bracing the sides, albeit on a cattle wagon. The GPV used my usual technique of a bit of off-cut sprue. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour has it that those fancy new cameras are being made by Karl Zeiss and fitted to those new Dornier "High Speed Mail Planes", something to do with "Das Google Earth Greater Reich", whatever next!?! 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've heard that they will be able to make people move and you will hear them on pictures soon, and there is even talk of being able to record such events on a mobile phone, that still hasn't been invented. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
