It is as smooth as a baby's bum, with a bad dose of nappy rash, and then some more. Me legs are still good though (just look like milk bottles), it's just all the hairs stick out of me socks. OzzyO.

3 link Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think I will keep away from the drinking water when I'm next up your way Ozzy, in case it's catching . I think for a new avatar you would be better off with something like the old test card they use to have on ITN. ATB, Martyn. P.S. Your a funny man, that's the first smile I've cracked today, did make me laugh you silly old b###er. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(W) Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Everybody. I wish to make it known that my 'Craftsmanship/Clever' rating was emphatically only for the model building - not for those first images: they will most likely give me nightmares. As ever, Shakespeare seems apposite (Banquo from Macbeth upon first seeing the witches): ...and so wild in their attire,That look not like th' inhabitants o' th' Earth,And yet are on ’t?... ...You should be women,And yet your beards forbid me to interpretThat you are so. I'm off for a lie down now - but what dreams may come? Thank you, BR(W). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzyo Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hello all, this is the last post on the County build. Setting the speedo in position, The frames after grit-blasting, in the first photo you can see the screws that hold the vac. pump in position. The valve rods will be fitted after the frames are painted, The backhead, on this build the owner is going to paint the backhead himself, The main parts for the tender, this tender has been modified for sound fitting. The bracket to the right is for the wiring to and from the engine with the two brackets on the left for the speaker to fit on, The engine body after grit-blasting, The main parts of the loco drying off, Some thing that I don't see very often, a finished loco on my test track. This is Steve's 5099 Compton Castle along with 1019 County of Merioneth, Making a start on the next build, the frames. One set will be for a full build with the others for replacing some old style frames, OzzyO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Harper Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Here is my miserable attempt at a County. It is a JM kit with a JLTRT resin boiler. I actually finished the build about 4 years ago but I never got it to run successfully and it blew a couple of DCC chips. Over the intervening years I have re-worked the bogie pivot and side control, added a rocking beam for the front axle and returned it to DC. Last week I decided that I was going to sort it out once and for all. Close inspection showed two tiny wear marks where the rear wheel rims had worn the paint away on the edge of the splasher cut out under the footplate. A thin washer under the rear fixing spacer sorted it and now it runs faultlessly. I even coaled the tender!! Regards Sandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Sandy Hello Sandy, all, John's kits always made up to produce a good looking loco, they may have lacked a bit in the detail but you could always add more. One thing that I do when test running a loco is to run them in primer for about an hour then remove the body and see if there are any "black" marks on the body or bright marks on the frames. All of my test running is done using DC, if a loco will run well on DC it should run better on DCC. OzzyO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
