I picked it up for a fiver and I've been doing a serious upgrade to it, spending more than it cost on extras from Wizard ;-) I have been working on it for six months and it is still not done. New motor, DCC, hand rails, real coal. Totally OTT, but through it, I have been getting my knack back ;-) 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul H Vigor Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 5 hours ago, MrWolf said: A very long time ago, I remember spending hours cutting panelling from postcard material with a Stanley knife in an attempt to copy a Furness Railway four wheeler that I had seen a drawing of in one of the monthly magazines and mounting it onto a Lima continental chassis, (ex DR branch line coach IIRC) it got painted in something approaching LMS maroon with an oversized brush. A couple of years later, I discovered Ratio 4 wheelers and it got binned. A friend of mine did a similar thing, but he still has his, about forty years on, albeit slightly crushed. If it wasn't for that, I would have still been running nothing but RTR. In fact, I started making stuff that I couldn't otherwise afford, so that probably kept me in the hobby. I still have a 50 year old scar on my thumb from an entirely predicable modelling knife slip. 7 year old me decided to carve 4mm sleepers from a piece of wood. I never did tell Mum the whole story of the accident! 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 My Stanley knife branding is from a decade later, it's where I learned that it's safer to fit a new blade rather than apply more pressure to a blunt one. It's a rite of passage. 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, given that he's a vampire, in fact not just a vampire but the vampire, he would have been in if it was between sunrise and sunset. Between sunset and sunrise is a different story.

Waverley47708 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) These wagons are listed on a few different Facebook selling pages. I think the seller said in the comments these are also for sale on eBay. On that tenuous link I have posted them here!

Despite the fact it appears to be bent, the paintwork is in awful condition, and it doesn't actually run... I can only hope that the "Excellent" part is referring to the condition of the box itself, not the loco, as the box does appear to be in reasonable condition. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
