Steamport Southport Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Building the Roxey 'Planet' by Tim Maddocks Sits up and takes notice. I've got one of those in the pile. So I'll definitely have to get this issue. Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 The link in Bob Jones' Fence Houses article to the film of Nick Mitchell's part-complete 2mm finescale 9F loco with reversible valve gear is worth a watch too... Andy If that's not "state of the art", I don't know what is. It's fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwinian Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Have you noticed that in the Railwls 2018 add it says Layouts P4 Pwllheli- ...... Cambridge coast railway. Must be a real fictional location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something you see much in 4mm scale, let alone 2FS. Obviously DCC makes this a bit "easier". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted July 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) I liberated a copy from Smiffs in Plimuff yesterday, I have had a quick flick through and it looks as if it will be a good read.

Glover Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Available in Easons, O'Connell Street Dublin yesterday (at €6.80!). Article on making boxes,crates, barrels etc looks interesting. I wonder if the methodology will scale down from 7mm to 4mm. Cheers, Glover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2018 One item in the Exhibition Diary had already taken place when I got my copy but all other events still to come. Pity I can't get to any of them. Interesting bit in the Boxes etc article about putting lettering on. Shall be trying but of course it does not allow white lettering.

RMweb Premium CF MRC Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately, the lifting link arrangements on a P2 absolutely preclude making it work as they are tucked inside the motion support bracket, rather than being forward, as in the 9F, or behind as in the LNER Pacifics. There is simply no room for the link to be made to work. Tim Edited July 23, 2018 by CF MRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2018 Another very good issue I think, nice to see Mimothy Taddocks in print and well done to editor Jerry for a very well written and thought out editorial too.

There is simply no room for the link to be made to work. It's pretty ingenious as it is, even if the triangular motion bracket frame / expansion link support is slightly oversize. There's a lot to admire about it. Probably it could be done in 4mm scale and obviously in 7mm the world's your oyster by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2018 Interesting bit in the Boxes etc article about putting lettering on. Shall be trying but of course it does not allow white lettering. Photos showing crates and boxes in this style from the pre-Great War period generally show dark lettering, presumed black. Here's a couple of examples at Huntley & Palmers biscuit factory in Reading and Birmingham Central Goods Depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2018 A quick flick through and this looks very good. Jerrys editorial made me think. Now I am very new to exhibiting but I seem to spend more time chatting and explaining than anything else.......even eating cake. I do worry as I normally exhibit on my own so if I am chatting little or nothing runs.....I struggle to multi task at the best of times.. Dorothy looks very nice indeed, even better in the flesh and runs as well as it looks. The photos are smashing ( apologies once again for wobbling the table Jerry......!!) and it is an absolute triumph. The rear view on page 175 is spiffing, the join on the cab rear is spot on.....and the rust on the buffers....and..and..... Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'll admit to being slightly disappointed that Planet didn't turn out to be a LMR 2-2-0! But an absorbing read nevertheless, even when an article is far from my interests, it's usually written and illustrated in such a way as to pique my interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
