Baggies1961 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Great news the water tower has been started. I realised I haven't mentioned who built my buildings to date. They have been made by 422 Modelmaking all buildings are bespoke. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thanks Ade, he is a fabulous modeller. Wish I had his skill. Hows your build coming along? Been away a few days so will take a look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted February 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi Julian, coming along OK, last weekend started the wiring, but made a school boy error and added a dropper to the wrong line making a short circuit. When are you going to start with the ballast? You look pretty close to doing that part. Cheers, Ade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi Ade, Yes ballast day is looming. I am going to operate the points, as there are only 5 by dowel through the boards. So they need to be cut in under the board and through the frame. Priority hopefully this weekend is to fix the track down, after first exchanging a couple of pieces of track cut incorrectly. I too created a short to me ages to find and it was staring at me in the face. Got to say really admire your sweeping curves into the station Ade, as well of course the superb man cave its housed in. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 On the class 33, late 80,s paid a visit to Oxford station from my then home of Moreton in Marsh. What should be in the station, none other than 33012 on a parcels service. Been a favourite of mine ever since and then Heljan go and release it..... hence the buckle and purchase.

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted February 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2020 Boing boing! I grew up in Southampton so lots of 33s, 73s, 74s and Thumpers. Dad's family were all in Birmingham though so we'd get the train up there (usually a 47, occasionally a 33 to Reading). I have a photo of me about 10 admiring a Peak (or a 1-co-co-1 as we called them) at Birmingham so when Heljan brought that out.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Ahhh yes my favourite peak was 45128 and had booked to be on the final rail tour with 45106 on the settle & carlisle until it caught fire! unfortunately I am going to sell the peak so if you know of anyone....
