RMweb Gold queensquare Posted January 3, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2013 I've got my miner's hat ready for the morning shift. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow Andy, I've tidied up the workshop so access is pretty good! The layout is covered in diesels at the moment as I'm still hopeful of having a c.1970 day on the sunday at Southampton. Will get the 1920's S&D stock out in the morning ready for you to point your camera at. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sheep Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks Oly, we are at Southampton at the end of the month with Highbury if you can make it.

Wigan was a fine show when I visited. The nightlife made Tyneside's finest look overdressed from what I remember from several years back though.

richbrummitt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm going to attempt to get the current loco project running by Southampton. It won't fit the 1920s theme though, sorry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diesel situation for the c.1970 ish Sunday running is looking good although mainly light engine - still some way to go with getting stock ready.

richbrummitt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Since when has anyone needed to apologise for running something inappropriate on Highbury Er, never. :-D Look forward to seeing it Rich - any clues as to what it is? I already posted on here about it. I spent a little while earlier today making some tweaks to the body and filling the boiler with rolled lead sheet. It won't have the correct tender for a while yet because I haven't finished the artwork for it. It will have a stand in from an Ixion Manor to begin with.

RMweb Gold queensquare Posted January 22, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2013 Over the Christmas/New Year period I pushed on with a number of projects that had been ongoing for some time. First up is a Farish Teddy Bear. This has had the wheels turned down and replacement buffer beams and etched coupling rods courtesy of a very nice little etch from Pixie. I repainted the cab but ended up renumbering it as the same number Farish gave it, 9523, as I have a lovely picture of it at Bath Green Park taken by the late and much missed Rev Alan Newman. Next is the 08 from the Association kit. I have to say I'm really pleased with this. Its quite a complex kit to build mainly due to the need to avoid shorts around the chassis/footplate/double frame area area but can only applaud the design which is very clever. Finish will be filthy BR green, again following an Alan Newman picture taken at Radstock about 1968. Finally is 'Holly' the Hudswell Clarke based on a David Eveleigh etch. This is pure NSLR and I'm hoping to have it finished and painted for Railex at Aylesbury in May. Jerry 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Lovely work Jerry! One little point, what colour are the wheels on the 14? They look like loco green in the snap? I must, must, must run off some more 14 bits sometime. See you Sunday! Pix Edited January 23, 2013 by Pixie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted January 23, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks all. You should run off some more Pix as its a pretty straightforward conversion and the result is a sweet running loco. I wasn't sure what colour the wheels were meant to be so in typical Jerry fudge fashion they are mix of loco green, leather (Humbrol 62) and black with a generous dusting of weathering powders. Indeed, see you sunday. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hehe - should be black with polished rims really Jerry, althought overall grime is probably the best bet for a Woking loco. The red connecting rods were also a preservation thing, they were unpainted in service. Now, where my adenoidal voice and tweed jacket? Pix 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix B****x, after turning the wheels are black with a polished rim and the rods a nice colour when soldered up and polished Oh well at least I got you on the allocation. It was a St Philips Marsh loco, not Woking Jerry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBS Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Jerry, You've been hiding your loco-building light under a bushel! Two diesels (one actually finished) and two steam - not to mention John's delightful loco. All very impressive, keep up the good work. Me I'm just churning-out buildings for Totnes.

Hi Jerry, The locos look excellent, although personally I prefer my Hudswell Clarkes to look like this:http://www.flickr.com/photos/eric_the_duck/8103393854/in/pool-1191229@N23 for some reason.

richbrummitt Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I went down to the colliery today in the hope of catching some of this new fangled diesel traction in the sidings. Sadly it was rather late in the day by the time I had the camera set up and all I got was this nonsense The last one I dedicate to LdnPete 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
