Jintyman Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hi Steve, Just had a read through, very impressive. You have a rather nice collection of Collett 4-6-0's there, but I do notice a Maybech engined treat sitting just behind too. I don't think I could get away with a Hymek on mine though. Jinty ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzyo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It's his tamping machine, just tap the rail head with it and the ballast goes down, OK you can end up with some dings in the track but that's why his locos have compensation!!!!!!!!

steve fay Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 A bit more track laid yesterday and now I've run out of Chairs again!! I've been looking at my plans and I'm going to have a go at building the two points just to the right of the three turn table roads. I can get on with cutting all the sleepers ready whilst I wait for the chairs, slide chairs and Off the Rails GWR slab & bracket chairs to arrive. Got to start sometime so might as well be now!! Right where's my hammer ?? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 link Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi Jinty, There are no GWR check chairs yet, so it's just a case of cutting them in half and adding them cosmetically. Martyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daifly Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Before you start, check the buffer centres. You may well find them too close together - a problem with several JLTRT wagon kits. Dave Edited May 21, 2015 by daifly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
