georgeT Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Thanks for the likes guys, been away for too long and really glad to be back, as l say l had lost a lot of my mojo over the last six months not bothering to do much modelling at all, it was even an effort to get myself to the O gauge show at Kettering but l did, and glad l did, as l bought a bargain on the bring and buy stall ? a ACE kit of a M/N, (l knew l was in for a lot of work with the kit from the start) but l had intended to build a B/B out of it from the start ? to my amazement there was a W/C chassis with wheels in the box (great minds think alike) so after a week of looking at all the work involved l started it, after a lot of head scratching and swearing l have almost finished her as No34086 '219 squadron' and in the process of giving her a real good coat of Sh*te, just as l remember them .. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I know what you mean about mojo, I hadn't done anything since last June until recently. Lost all motivation due to some family issues 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Some will think its 'silly' but with the price of O gauge wagon kits lately, l have gone down the road of two liveries on one wagon (Not my idea) and as my new layout will be based in the 80s (blue) and a friends garden layout in the 60s (Green) does the job, just need to get more transfers for the blue ones.. 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good dose of weathering, and I wont tell anyone if you don't. Besides, its not as if they are going to a Show, and even then 95% of the paying public wouldn't know, I didn't, and obviously you didn't. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Ray, Great to hear from you again its been awhile, l have a few irons in the fire at the moment, now that l have finished off the scratch built T9, l want to get on with heavy weathering of a B/B 34086 '219 Squadron' as she was when l saw her at waterloo station in the early 60s (you couldn't see the cab side number... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Having had to put up with Covid and the aftermath and being knackered all the time l have found some mojo again at last, and have taken a new layout on and a new project in the form of a TPO royal mail train in O gauge, l have bought a NSX sorting van from PR models to start with and have a Parcels 47 (Heljan) on its way, which will be converted to RES livery... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a good project buddy, 👍 and as we have discussed on the phone, Covid has knocked you for six since you came out of Hospital.

georgeT Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 In my quest to build a TPO, class 47 hauled train l have started with a NSX Postal sorting van from PR Models, which was being a bit of a challenge at first, but after having a really nice long chat with Peter Besant at Doncaster O gauge show l discovered the kit was from David Parkins from 1987 so it is a really old kit but a few helpful tips from Peter has made the job a lot easier... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 After a lot of filing, banging and shoving l managed to fit the first door into place, l wanted to build a six coach train up but l'm not too sure now Hahahaha 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
