RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted March 9, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2017 Two more shots of Mallard tonight. "Of", I said Phil, not "at". I think this must be in the top three classic views of PN. I suppose that is why I return to it so often. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium great northern Posted March 10, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2017 We have two more views of Mallard this morning. I'm not sure why I keep pointing the camera straight into the light at the moment. An awful lot of cropping is required just to get something like this. Any requests for when I go and take some more later? 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Streak Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Any requests for when I go and take some more later? Yes Please Gilbert. A photo of 22 as she goes past the signal cabin under the bridge when she leaves, if it's not to much trouble.

westerner Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I do like the first shot, whether it's in black and white or that it's a reverse three quarter view I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we have seen the most prestigious member of one of, if not the most prestigious classes how about a short goods, perhaps between PN and PE (Peterborough East)?

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2017 A J6 or Claude Hamilton please, Gilbert. Two of the most delightful classes of locomotives ever to run on rails. Regards, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted March 10, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) All requests duly noted, and will be attended to when the sequence, and my knee, allow. The knee still doesn't like weight on it too often, but is improving. Coming up are the last pictures from a photoshoot several days ago, and feature the 5.52pm from KX, which will terminate here. I still try these blue skies occasionally, but am not convinced by them. End of journey, and the local V2 should not have been winded by a load comprising BCK SO SO BCK.

Mrkirtley800 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Do look after your joints, I didn't, thinking I could go on forever, playing badminton and folk dancing. Alas, my knees have gone on strike, one being replaced seven years ago by an incompetent surgeon which required two more ops to correct his mistakes. Other knee and both hips now playing up. It makes railway modelling a bit difficult, especially as I have been rejigging my layout over the last three years or so. I am not able to move baseboards on my own now, having to walk on two sticks, and it gets so frustrating. Having said that, my modelling has kept me sane, and given me other things to think about than dodgy joints. A very supportive wife also helps so much and is really essential. But there are worse conditions than mine, so in a warped way, perhaps I am lucky. Keep up your good work on your superlative model. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold trw1089 Posted March 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2017 I do like that V2 Gilbert, what is its provenance if not too much trouble? I have a thing about V2s at the moment and need to find an alternative for a decent one given the lack of a Bachmann revised version appearing any time soon. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tony It started as original Bachmann Tony, but quite a few years ago now Ian Rathbone did some alterations to improve it, and then gave it one of his lovely paint jobs, which in itself transformed the look of it. I know he replaced the chimney and dome,put a proper Cartazzi on, and maybe a bit more cosmetic work, but I don't now remember all the details. It was not, and quite rightly, a cheap option.

At present, the V2 seems to be low on the list of priorities, and has made no progress through the tooling process, so far as I can see. There are plenty of us eagerly awaiting it, but I fear it may be a long wait still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted March 11, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2017 When I went up to the railway yesterday, the sequence showed the next movement to be a short Class C parcels from East. This is a March duty, and usually a B17 is provided, but not today. Sorry about the position of the top lamp iron. These lovely little lamps seem to be a bit too difficult for my eyes to cope with at present. A near miss, this one, I think? Not quite what I wanted, but request 1 dealt with. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 "the local V2 should not have been winded by a load comprising BCK SO SO BCK." That one's a bit clean for a New England V2 is it not?

Fenman Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hornby's Claud Hamilton does look a nice model, only trouble is I'd need a GE layout in order to have one You're phrasing that as if it'd be a problem: when by doing so you'd get all those lovely Clauds, sweet J15s, and perhaps an occasional supremely elegant B12. And almost all the coaching stock you'd need is available RTR too! What's not to - I was going to put "like", but I think I mean "love"?
