ian@60 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Looking good George, you are becoming a bit of a expert on David Andrews rebuilt Bulleids, how many have you built now. Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hello lan, Wouldn't say expert but l have nearly built three of them for a customer WC 34005, BB 34077 & MN 35023 l have finished 34005, and about 85% on the other two, even managed to obtain a kit for myself which will be finished as 34087 '145 Squadron' so that's four in total plus the MOK Q1 l build a while back, just love Bulleids... PS. When are you going to start the un-rebuilt Finney Bulleid you bought a while back ??? take care and keep safe ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Ray, Hope you and Polly are keeping safe and sound and enjoying some modelling ? l am enjoying the three Bulleid builds and they are taking up a lot of my time but l'm getting near the end now just waiting for bits to be delivered to finish, then the paintshop l even have one to build for myself, PS are you doing anything in O gauge ?..

tender Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 58 minutes ago, georgeT said: PS are you doing anything in O gauge ?.. Er. Yes and no. We have a few items of RTR, a few kits and i have some track and a few turnouts but the intended plan is not working out when i put the stock on. I'm getting buffer lock on the coaching stock through the turnouts so its back to the drawing board. I know how to solve the problem (i think) but it means getting another 3 way turnout and crossing built, but i'm busy with a 5" gauge loco build at present which is taking up all my time. I might give Marcway a ring and see if they'll do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi Ray, l know what you mean, it looks good in your head but when you lay it all out it doesn't work? but keep at it mate you will find something that will work, just think if you made another Camel Quay again it would be about 20 ft long Hahaha makes you think, have you thought about making your own track using copper-clad sleeper and bullhead rail and make the points to suit, that's what l am doing next time, take care...

tender Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi George. Yeh, i miss Camel Quay, it was nice and compact, had plenty of operator interest and i could set it up in the lounge and have a play every now and then. My worry is the O gauge layout is going to turn out too big to set up at home and will only see the light of day at exhibitions. Whenever that will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
