And so the new layout will be in 7mm And I might have to ask Santa for an 08 for Christmas. 08's for Christmas? For that you will have to be a Very Good Boy. Which means not going over to the Dark Side, which means no 08 which means ... gah /divide by zero loop 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 1, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) The extension is now complete it took longer than expected because the levels weren’t quite right as the hardboard edge had dipped in the middle (my own fault for not supporting it properly) so I’ve built the level back up with filler It’s level now though Edited November 1, 2021 by chuffinghell 12 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Great stuff happening here. That little extra room is going to make a big difference, I think you'll find it well worth the effort. Although I find the completed point rodding rather depressing! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfaZagato Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Wouldn't it be Warren on Polly? I don't know with these English placenames. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted November 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2021 Maybe Polly upon Warren would be more accurate. Regards Lez. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 13, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Because I’ve not really had much time to spend on Warren I’ve been messing about with one of my 5 plank wagons repurposing it into a PT Way engineers wagon to sit in the spare siding with my crane and PT-Way brake van Before still need to do the far side and apply a coat of matt (and maybe a little more filth) After I’m not bothered if it’s not prototypical Warren’s engineering dept needed a wagon to accompany the crane for their tools and other equipment so they pinched a 5 plank wagon and had it sign written before the mildly obese controller ‘Sir Flat’um Cap’ could stop them Edited November 13, 2021 by chuffinghell 14 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 What defines prototypical? Surely, if they need a wagon locally, they would have sourced one locally and not waited for one to arrive from elsewhere. I bet Rule 1 applied even then....for real...

MrWolf Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Great job, it's probably been "liberated" in the same way that platform trolleys ended up in goods yards. Prototypical?

I’ve spent too much time worrying about things not being prototypical or right that it’s actually slowed/stopped me doing what the layout was originally intended……as a hobby for fun, enjoyment and to allow me to escape the reality of the working week Obviously I want it to look feasible but not to the point where I end up stopping because of concerns about how ‘those in the know’ would condemn my efforts as ‘wrong’ 14 minutes ago, KNP said: What defines prototypical?

A very good point, the layout is based in the mid to late thirties long before we become a throw away society.

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 13, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Originally I bought six of these Bachmann wagons which I renumbered and then sent to TMC for a light weathering (before I dared try it myself) I’ve just put it alongside one of its siblings to look at the difference and I might have gone a bit too heavy with the filth I’ve also been looking in my odd ‘n’ sods box for appropriate engineeringy type stuff to throw in and found I have a Coopercraft plate layers tools kit and various other bits Edited November 13, 2021 by chuffinghell 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
