LNERGE Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 The mixed freight looked superb on Saturday. I didn't see any obvious activity at Quorn or anywhere to part with money. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 They're too well restored and painted. Goods trains were never that clean. Perhaps you should have weathered some of them ! 😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look how well their pair of fibreglass containers have weathered over the 2 years since they were restored.... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlethorpe Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I visited on Friday & was hoping to purchase a copy of the Pocket Stockbook. Unfortunately the NAAFI didn't have any. I'll try again on my next visit. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave had other commitments and I was still flying back from Poland for work. Here's this week's update. I was there with my nine year old wingman. To be able to see the different types of wagons actually moving is fantastic. It helps no end trying to explain what it is all about. One day i hope the railway i'm involved with will be able to run a demonstration pickup freight. Currently we have four locations such a train could pull into to shunt/be overtaken etc. I've done my bit and provided Intermediate token instruments to aid shutting trains away. All we need is someone to start restoring our wagons (this is in hand) 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium SR71 Posted February 19, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2023 Nice to have an update. In your pictures the letting is always being painted on with the setting out already there. For a future update could you show us the step before painting maybe?

rloades Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I can help you with that today :) Normally, we make a template in Photoshop on a lifesize canvas using pictures from sources like Paul Bartlett or Flickr, or even scanned from Wagon books. This is then printed on several sheets of A4 paper and stitched together using tape. Chalk or charcoal is applied to the back of the stitched together template, which is then positioned on the wagon and the printed letters are drawn around to transfer the chalk to the wagon. 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted March 26, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2023 Great to see there are some more TTAs saved. Such a core part of the wagon fleet over the decades. Perhaps the generator, charger and so on felt solidarity with the drivers on the national network? :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gem has been duly passed on to management! We tarted up an old mineral which is no longer serviceable but is visible from the mainline, using some home made stencils, very small brushes and a lot of standing back! I can't lie, faced with doing it all again on the other side I have started a campaign to have it in BR condition! edit: I need one of those sticks to rest on as well!
