duckweed Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 About time those gutters went on, talk about damp walls. Those poor little folks, two years of green mould. Finally caught up on this thread and am just adding my bit of praise. The buildings and street scenes are superb and you have really captured the mucky stonework and somewhat bleak atmosphere of the time.

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted March 14, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2014 I can see you lurking Paul. It's the draw of the G2A isn't it?

Black Sheep Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) It's a super chimney. Would it be too cheesy to have a steeplejack half-way up, doing a spot of repointing? Complete with his old mucky land rover or his steam roller parked at the bottom? Edited March 14, 2014 by Black Sheep Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclebobkt Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) -- Sandside, - Do I detect thoughts from you, PLUS helpful suggestions from others, to change to EM.? - But why stop there - why not go the whole hog and complete the job by UPGRADING to P4.? - With your modelling skills, attention to detail etc. etc. I doubt if the differences between EM. and P4. would daunt you. - True that the tolerances are much tighter, and possibly a bigger concern might be the larger radii required on curves and on suchlike; but, to an inventive mind, such seeming obstacles can be overcome, can't they? - Just a passing thought! -- :-) Edited March 16, 2014 by unclebobkt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 BTW Jason, looking at the Bike pics, did you ever hear of a Mick Whitlock from Horndean / Cowplain, in Hampshire, he was friend from the Motorcycle Club and used to build Trials bikes under the Whitehawk name, (I had one), he later got seriously into BMX.

Andrew P Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Jason, I've been scanning through and got as far as page 28, now I'm getting frustrated as I am trying to find your point control method, I.E. switches in a panel or a Lever Frame. Please put me out of my misery. Cheers, Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted March 17, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2014 Can I just confirm that I am not about to rip up the track on Bacup and go EM or P4; the two locos are for a different layout (BCB). I have spent far too much time on this layout to start ripping up and relaying the track 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR(W) Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We need a 'Phew, that's a relief!' button. Seriously, your modelling is to such a high standard (trackwork included) that it is virtually impossible to tell that it is to OO - especially when the railway views are three-quarter and side ones.

coachmann Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Can I just confirm that I am not about to rip up the track on Bacup and go EM or P4; the two locos are for a different layout (BCB). I have spent far too much time on this layout to start ripping up and relaying the track I was half expecting someone asking if you were 'doing a Larry'. On the loco front, I have been given a Lanky 3F 0-6-0, so I can take my eyes off yours now! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted March 17, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2014 I saw you had got hold of an A Class, I could picture you typing up that you had one with a huge grin on your face All you need now is a 4mm Young Larry for the cab. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Jason can't rip the track up and change it as I have had a Royal Invite. For many years one of my favorite layouts has been Borchester Market, mainly due to its prototypical running and train schedules and Bacup is of a similar ilk but in a more of a Prototypical Landscape. The Goods Yard is my biggest fascination and its operation is one thing I'm looking forward to. Andy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium southern42 Posted March 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2014 I was just having a catch up when your LMS brake vans jumped out at me. I'll need one to go on ex-GWR 9642 together with two other brakes I have on that useful thing called "Pre-Order" so I've been looking around for this type but only came up with the old models. You've done a great job on yours, Jason. Impressed and heartened at the same time. Polly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jason T Posted March 17, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2014 One of my three is a very old one; it had plastic wheels originally. A bit of chopping and filing and I reckon they look quite presentable, having a few clasp brakes spare from Parkside kits came in very useful though. I just glue them to a strip of Plastikard and then position the Pastikard next to the frames to space them out, after having chopped the moulded ones off (which are inline with the axle boxes).

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted March 19, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2014 I use the Digitrax handset Andy. Wouldn't do so for an exhibition layout but for home use it is fine Worked fine when I was using it. In fact, I was impressed by the ease of use - you may even persuade me to buy a Digitrax system! Hopefully Bodge will get to play with it this weekend. Jeff 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
