RMweb Premium southern42 Posted October 5, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2013 Here's a post, then, Jeff. I've just popped in to see what's been happening and perhaps to say "Hello" but it sounds like it should be "Have a great day tomorrow and see you when you get back in the bunker" - in a figurative sort of manner. In the meantime, something from last week's Barrow Hill Live to whet your appetite: Polly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted October 5, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2013 Well, Jan is in Sydney for a week with her daughter and grandkids, the house is empty at night, the two cups of tea for starters in the morning, then bread we make ourselves, and watering the tomato seedlings... I dunno. Better think about that image in my head of an express engine on speed-canted curve racing under a footbridge and whistling for a couple of spotters on the platform, exhaust streaming back and slightly broken up by the bridge.... None of this 4F and 16 loaded mineral wagons palava... leave that for Jason and Jeff and others.... Yes, Rob.... You'll be seeing a fair bit more of that. Just organising my weathered wagon train line ups, including 17 milk wagons, 18 mineral, 24 petrochemical tanker and 15 vent van loads (plus brakes, of course). Coming to a thread near you in the next month or so. No doubt I can tickle your fancy with the haulage done by 5MTs or 9Fs. Though 4Fs would be almost as good! No passenger trains on the horizon at the moment. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted October 5, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Thanks Polly. I'll be posting regularly on here over the next week - and maybe starting the next project. But I think I'll take a bit of time to look around the Forum, for a change. Especially keeping an eye on what the mercurial Bodgit is up to! Jeff Edited October 5, 2013 by Physicsman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Who me, nothing Boss, just scheming planning my next move. When you say NEXT PROJECT, do you mean next project in the same way as I do? Like O Gauge around the Garden or N around that spare room you have? Whats next then? Bodgit Edited October 6, 2013 by Andrew P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted October 6, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2013 Evening folks. I've been up at the NYMR today - great weather and a good day. Photos later. I was unable to get onto the Forum when I arrived home - until a short while ago. Has there been a problem? Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sooner do I log in, than I'm met by THE MAN himself!! Hi Andy. OK, next projectS, in no particular order... Build the shepherd cottage Landscape the viaduct end of the Fell when the cottage is in (scatters/paths etc) Weather/fit/complete hill end near viaduct More walling across viaduct valley Stream into viaduct centre span Small packhorse bridge across stream Build the station platforms Complete aqueducts and relevant hillside/cuttings... Well, that should keep me going for a few days using "Bodgit time" as a time measure!! So, when do I start? Maybe later this week. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted October 6, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2013 Andy Y was unaware of the problems. I can vouch for that as I have been in his illustrious presence all day, along with Wordsell Forever (Paul) and the BCB crew in a village hall in Staffordshire - see the BCB sub-forum for details.

Bodgit Sounds a bit like my plan to model NZ railways in 1:64 scale all hand built in brass.... trouble is, my father was head of Publicity and Advertising for NZR when it was a gummint department, he retired in 1976 , and his office was lined with cabinets with Gauge 1 models built by Frank Roberts, a gentleman of the 'old school', originally an artisan in the railway workshops from c1900.. of all NZ steam engines and stock and they line his office walls, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to even approach the standard (like opening tool kits on/in cabs full of tools, and the engine ran day-in-and-out at the 1940 Centennial Exhibition some were electric some were coal-steam. So I just do my 00 Brit stuff and even then can't easily put a smokebox door together, except with dab of glue and prayer! Actually I like the BR stuff greatly, but I do go on... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good idea, Rob. In the absence of any construction work by me it's been deathly quiet on here. Not surprisingly, I suppose. Lots going on in the background that may become relevant in a couple of weeks or so. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, P Nice to hear from you, Peter. It's been a while! Cryptic comments, as ever. Good job you didn't mention the "Objects in...." quote in the Lounge.

Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Jeff, I 've been quiet for awhile as I'm still wondering what possessed me to buy 14 Hachette Mk1s.

robmcg Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I like those Hachette coaches, and like you I have a disease called buying... May I ask through the good offices of Sir Jeff esq. if your name bears any relation to an engine which is sister to this... I know this subverts the purity of thought which the preceding posts so clearly demonstrates, but I couldn't get it out of my mind. I can't... no .... no ....no...

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted October 7, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2013 I had a weathered maroon Western on pre-order from Kernow, but cancelled it as it didn't seen quite appropriate for the S&C. Beautiful models, though. Rob - I thought you hated diesels - you haven't gone and bought one, have you... And the line "I can't get it out of my head" (not mind) brought back memories of 1970s ELO, on the musical theme. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 This is more S&C, though I prefer them in green. Maroon is best for the Westerns. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was young and fit and it was before my decline and fall into decrepitude when they were around. And yes the Jubilee is lovely in LMS red, unlike some 2-8-0 pretenders... Jeff I haven't bought a diesel recently, that Western is my younger brother's, the same who made those videos I put up in the lounge. I don't hate diesels, at least that's a rather strong word for just thinking I'd rather model steam. For running model trains, I think DCC SOUND diesels are superior to steam, as it's so hard to get steam recordings 'right', to my ears anyway.
