It was "Just another GWR branch line thread", I'm not sure what happened to be honest. It all got very weird and went off down a rabbit hole that's like Alice in Wonderland meets Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.... If that's the case will there be another two along in a minute. Personally I'm more a Seven of Nine fan.

MrWolf Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Current state of play: 517. Watching stopper dry. Crossing house compost bin. Watching paint dry and contemplating making a bigger one for the cattle dock. Or maybe a brick one as per a lot of GWR stables? The corned beef can key? Unlike a pound coin, you don't forget and spend it. But the ring end will release a shopping trolley.

Me thinks somebody's not being entirely truthful there as they could 'afford' the tin of corned beef that came with the ring end.

RMweb Gold Graham T Posted February 25, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2023 So why is it lurking next to the 517? Are you planning to fit a clockwork motor, and have something on hand to wind it up with? Being a little more serious, I like the compost bin. How did you get the battered edges on the wriggly tin? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 The wriggly tin is the remnants of a packet of Ambis Engineering corrugated iron I've had for ages. But it can be made using the foil from the bottom of food cartons etc and using two bits of Will's moulded corrugated iron sheet about 11mm wide and 32mm long as a kind of press. The battered edges were just that. Once the glue was dry I tapped the edges with a small steel rule as though I was trying to knock some rather sticky manure off a shovel! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have gathered a few bits together where the paint has dried and added a little more to the crossing house garden. From L to R: Washing line post, must get the line put up! A barrow full of well rotted manure from the goods yard. An old chair for a little relaxation. A small tin bath full of split wood and kindling. A chopping block with axe. More wood and bark everywhere. A saw horse with cross cutter leaning on it. The next job will be to construct a bin for the manure I think. I though that was the list of chores to be done before doing any modelling. Don 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick a Morris Marina 1800TC engine, box and back axle in there for amusement or thanks to our crappy weather and salted winter roads, there was plenty of FIAT Supermirafiori 2 litre twin cam engines and gearboxes. You could even buy a fitting kit The lead sled Minor would be stealth to most people now, they just assume it's an old car. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted February 26, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2023 In student days , South London, my 1958 Morris 1000 convertible was popular for pub visits - with the hood down we managed seven standing ( and singing). That was before breathalysers and seat belts of course. The engine was adequate for the job ! 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
