Fastdax Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I was at Hazel Grove yesterday and I kept an eye out for you, Mister Peters etc. but didn't spot you. At least I bought a nice book about Q1s. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were loitering with intent from about 10'30 till 1 -30 when it was time to head out for a coffee at the Garden Centre and a look in at the Model Shop there, even though Dave the Owner had his stand at the show.

We used to go to waterloo most Saturdays during the summer holidays in the early 60s, and we would often get off the train at Guildford on the way up for an hour or so, you would see plenty of Q1s on shed, great days...(wish l could have afforded a camara in those days 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Have done a lot more work on the Q1, and will fix wiper pick-ups to the front two axles on the loco, and the last two axles on the tender and will permanently fix the tender to the loco...

Morning Ade, the Q1 will be finished BR Black No33024, (without lubricators) not sure if he wants it weathered yet?... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 BR Black sounds good mate, like Ade said, a favourite of mine too. Still not sure what to do when I get down Souf as I like Q1's and Nelson's so it will probably need to be in Amsher somewhere. I was impressed when I saw them both last week. Well done George. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastdax Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi George, are you permanently wiring the tender to the loco? I use tiny 2-pin plugs like these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-SETS-Micro-JST-GH-1-25-2-Pin-Male-Female-Connector-plug-with-Wires-Cables to connect mine. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hello Duncan, Few days earlier mate l could have used them, but l have already joined them together, but l have sent away for some for next time they look very useful indeed thanks for that... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Had a busy day today having finished the Q1, l went with the new owner to the open day at Morecambe O gauge open day and the Q1 ran faultlessly, also while we were up that way we called into the model railway show at Blackburn, waste of time very disappointed the only highlight was to see Jack374s great little depot layout with lots of nice sounds and nicely weathered locos... 12 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
