RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 12, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2013 5763 (the BR number was apparently never used day to day) is seen busy shunting the pick up goods in Greyscroft yard, the brake van and a couple of wagons are left on the main line. With shunting complete, the signal is off and the train restarts on it's way towards Middlesbrough. One now for Sandside/Jason. I've found a rare old colour slide of J26 65763 at Greyscroft back in the 1950's, it's a bit faded and washed out but is an important record of an everyday event.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 13, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2013 Managed to get the handrails for around the top of the head gear soldered up tonight, I think it'll all fit... I've also installed a sign on the road opposite for the benefit if visitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 14, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2013 So that's those handrails fitted, it needs more work doing but it's about as far as I'm going for now, there's a few other jobs to do tomorrow night and the whole lot is to be packed away ready for the Pickering show this weekend, if you're visiting say hello/bring us pies/cups of tea/cake...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 17, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2013 Had a good first day at Pickering, started out not too good with the J72 not wanting to play, cleaning the wheels and pick ups didn't seem to do much good but it did improve over time, it seems to have developed a 2-3 second delay starting in reverse sometimes! very odd. The Q6's tender was derailing on certain points, it turned out the chassis was a bit out of square, a bit of a tweak and adjustment of the bearings (well, opening them out a bit) and now it runs superbly. The day ended with a chat with the chap that invented and makes Tracksetta's. Oh yes, and we had pork pie for lunch... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuoitsPlayer Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Saw this 'in the flesh' today at Pickering what a fabulous model, you were having lunch so wouldn't disturb you and say hello but I really did like it. It was nice to see a model other than my own layout, Glaisholm, with Quoits pitch. How did you make the quoits? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debs. Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 IMGP7649-001.JPG That looks lovely; you must be (justly) very pleased with the appealing presentation.............it`s another 'me too' for an Expo Em viewing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuoitsPlayer Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I showed how I made the quoits pitch in my workbench thread, before I started the layout thread. Many thanks I shall definitely have to make my players some Quoits. The way you have built the rail down one side is very similair to Hawsker while the road on the other side is like Goldsborough was before it closed.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 18, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2013 Just a few photos from today at Pickering. The layout ran ok, there are a couple of issues with the J72 sticking and the J26 shorting (randomly on straight track!), First the important stuff - there was pork & apple pie for lunch and it was from Jacksons in Ruswarp, probably the best pies in the world... (the chocolate covered flapjack was rather good too.) I realised on Saturday when getting stock out that three of the four brake vans weren't weathered so these were sorted on Saturday night, the one in the middle is a bit of a problem, it was built three years after the layout is set... I added pick ups to the bogie of the G5 on Saturday night, it ran well today. The best way to transport sheep, with apologies to Baron Harrap... J26 before it disgraced itself by randomly shorting out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 27, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27, 2013 The two 1958 brake vans are currently being backdated to ex LNER versions, concrete weights removed from one and the corners filled in on the other. end handrails removed, footboards cut down and side lamp brackets removed. Jobs to do are extra lamp brackets on the ends and the side handrails need altering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 30, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2013 Further work on the stock, no obvious progress on the brake vans but the Gresley coach which was built and painted about 4 years ago is now something like finished, it has recieved a number, an interior, rainstrips added to the roof and vacuum pipes fitted. The roof has also been glued on. The interior has had to be made in two parts as it won't fit in between the body fixings at the ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 1, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2013 Progress going well with my J77, should be running at ExpoEM North, see it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 10, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2013 Only a few days now until the trip across them there 'ills and into 'that lancashire' and Expo EMNorth. I think all is ready (not looked at the layout since Pickering!). As well as the coach above I've been finishing a few wagons, mostly re-wheeled and weathered RTR stuff with a Parkside gunpowder van with a Cambrian chassis and slightly modified body to make it nearer the LNER one and an ABS (I think) kit for an earlier gunpowder van that I bought built up a few months ago. All are of course fitted with DG couplings. Three Shell-BP class B tanks, Bachmann ones bought as a set of three, weathered with washes of browns and black with spill streaks of gloss black together with the gunpowder vans, ABS on the left, Parkside on the right. Three more ironstone hoppers, the slightly wrong Bachmann ones together with a couple of Bachmann vans. And not forgetting the J77. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url=http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=323052]IMGP7816-url] Can I ask what the issues with the Bachmann hoppers are please? Vaguely wondering about an ore train in the future, and these would add some variety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted September 12, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Jon, I think the body is too long and the underframe is too light. Geoff Kent told me once what was wrong but they were near enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Jon, I think the body is too long and the underframe is too light. Geoff Kent told me once what was wrong but they were near enough. They should be on 16'6" long, 9' wheelbase underframes. I suspect, given they're the old Mainline ones, that the underframe scales out at 17'6". Aren't Bachmann supposed to be bringing out an upgraded model?
