RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted September 29, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2012 Had a great day in the marquee! Nice and warm with the sun heating the marquee. Just colder outside in the wind. Just one photo so far. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers exmoordave Hi Dave, Yes, we had a great weekend. Went much better than expected to be honest! I was a little concerned about exhibiting in a marquee! Thank fully no leaks! The grass was quite wet in places under foot, but not where we were standing, so not too much of a problem. Would I do it again? Yes, I would! I did like to run Ray's green diesels! They didn't look out of place! Perhaps I need a few green ones myself .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matloughe Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Looks like a good weekend was had - I'm just sad I couldn't make it. Yes some Green diesels might be an idea - perhaps a Steam Loco as well... or is that pushing it? ~ Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmoordave Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Now you're talking Richard.......green is the proper colour for locos, both for steam & diesel!!!! Now that could start a war.......now where did I put that Air Raid shelter....???? exmoordave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted October 3, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2012 Love the latest set of photos Richard, and sorry I never made it to Woddy Bay over the weekend. Serious amounts of taxi-ing children around were happening! All the best, Dave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted October 5, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2012 I don't think that I will be adding any green locos for some time to come - too many other projects to spend pennies on! Although may be tempted with one of the new Dapol Westerns! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted December 24, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2012 Well, with the weather being too cold today and not much planned with the family, I managed to find sometime in the garage! Orchard Road was un-packed - making a bit of space moving the extra Christmas food / beer - and then erected. After a little track cleaning, I ran a few locos. I did have a problem with one of the 31's - this is fitted with a Bachmann decoder, but launches itself off from a standstill. Tried to change some of the CV's but then the decoder managed to get messed-up, so needed a re-set! May be worthwhile changing the decoder to a better one .... My other 31 (also with a Bachmann decoder) is not so bad and I did try the same settings .... I took a few photos. We have just bought ourselves a new DVD camera, so took some video. Just need to edit and get onto YouTube at some stage .... Arrival and shunting of a short PW train. The pill-box needs weathering. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted December 26, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2012 No modelling for the last couple of days, but off shopping tomorrow (inevitable sales). However, does mean a trip to the model shop, so may come back with a few goodies! A few days off work will hopefully give me time to add a few small details .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on your workbench since Sept Richard - what are you on with or is it fine detailing OR?

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted December 26, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hi Ian, To be honest, I've not been doing too much modelling. I have a few projects to finish, plus a few bits for our club layout (Tawbridge). I've been making a few buildings for future projects, but as yet don't really have anything to add to my 'workbench'. There are few small details that I have in mind for adding to OR - a couple of bits inside the shed (and still considering interior lights) and one small area that needs a little bit of 'junk' adding. Thanks for your interest. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hi Richard, re your lurching 31, well I had the same problem with a brand new Jubilee, I rang Bachmann and the young lady talked me through changing CV54 TO 10 AND 55 TO 60, A friend ahd a similar problem with a 3f and that was change to 10 and I think it was 20? I know it is a Hornby loco but Bachmann Tachnical may still help. Good luck. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted December 26, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2012 Andy, Thanks for the advice. I will give this a try next time I venture into the garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
