RMweb Gold jcarta Posted August 14, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2021 Today was a good day commissioning the gantry by the sidings. We did have some rain but that did stop after a few minutes.... so we placed the parasol over us so we could continue.... We were making great progress until we noticed that we didn't have a red aspect due to a dry joint. Major surgery was then required on the signal head.... eventually it was sorted. All standing proud... ooooh the NB main needs straightening ..... first job in the morning 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jcarta Posted August 21, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 21, 2021 Whilst Ray is busying himself, I carried on with the station area fitting the canopies and trying to finish off constructing the main building but I'm waiting for some lighting before fitting the building to the platform, so hopefully this will be finished next week. Here are a few pictures taken this morning. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold jcarta Posted August 22, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2021 Well after seeing Paul R's Class 40's....... I couldn't resist, so I opted for this lovely beauty. I decided to go for a green one so I think rule 1 will apply to this loco. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry Andy, you'll avoid getting a hernia from lifting it if you don't have one. Jim's one is currently with me to have the decoder fitted and I had to get my wife to help me carry it from the car into the house!

pwr Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 They are very heavy locos. I think the chassis must be the same as the original gangway fitted models before Heljan started to put their diesels on a diet! Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
