BernardTPM Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Very kind of you to say so, James. I've recently found a couple more suitable wagons fro the thread, though one needs a little repair before I photograph it. It's alarming how quickly those 30 years have passed 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobboPetes Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Bloomin' heck, Bernard! I remember reading all the articles on these as I got hold of the through the late 80s/early 90s. I even bought 2 VTG Ferrywaggons to do the conversion - still waiting for me to pluck up the courage and have a go. As I read more on construction techniques and gain more confidence the sooner it will be before I get these wagons done. It's certainly interesting to see the stock again. As you said - where has the 30 years gone?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) If it's any consolation, I still have aoither one to do, though I was always planning to do that as the FS version http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/ferryitalianbogievan with the disticntive deep lower section to the doors. Still, that will have to wait until I get to my new home - after I'm not of 'no fixed abode'. Edited March 23, 2013 by BernardTPM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think I've managed to miss this thread until now, too. I well remember the articles in Practical Model Trains: they were a key influence on my ideas about what could be done in n gauge. My student bedsit was filled with shards of plastic from attempting to emulate your Lima 31 cut'n'shut, and I still have a bag of Plastruct dome ends which I bought from Stan Catchpole's old shop in Liverpool to do a batch of chemical tankers in imitation of yours.

RobboPetes Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Certainly seems like a good model to do as an alternative. Edited June 14, 2013 by RobboPetes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Well, today I've edited this topic to put back in all the pictures Photobucket so 'graciously' withdrew. Not too hard here as they can be uploaded directly. I have also added a few extra notes where things have changed since. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Well, today I've edited this topic to put back in all the pictures Photobucket so 'graciously' withdrew. Not too hard here as they can be uploaded directly. I have also added a few extra notes where things have changed since. Thanks for that. It's a thread worth keeping as the definitive reference work for modern N. I remember seeing Brigenshaw at Wembly (the short lived successor to the 5-day agricultural halls London show) and in the magazine. I've still got the article and the layout was a great inspiration and incentive to me to go N gauge. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
