georgeT Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Good morning George Looks like you have been a busy bee as usual Is there any movement on the Trolleybus Hope to see you next week will speak over the weekend Dickjie :-) Hello Dickie, No nothing with the trolley bus as yet, as l have been busy getting things right for selling, starting with the layout 'Tanners Lane' which has already gone to make room, and various other jobs on un-finished locos that need some touch-ups before selling....

georgeT Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hello Andy, Nothing happening at the moment, just tidying up the locos l have for sell soon as l have filled the boilers full of lead and cant shift it, so no way l could hard wire them for DCC so they have to go in favour of DCC ready locos...have made a start on building the track...

Andrew P Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 So you have got a new Track plan then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hello Andy, Well l have given up any daft ideas of building an exhibition layout at long last after realising that it would be used only three or four times a year at most thus spending most of the time in bits in the shed ? so decided on a stay at home layout (DCC sound) in the form of a shelf layout 11' x 18" long, but that's in the future, in the meantime l have got together with a couple of friends namely Mark Owen & lan Hallworth who both have talents of their own, we get together a couple of evenings a week at my workshop and work on various projects, l am scratch building a SR (LSWR) 4-4-0 Drummond class K10 tender engine, and Mark is building a L&Y 0-6-0 rapid shunting engine & while lan is fitting sound chips to various locos, so they are very interesting evenings.... 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Sounds like some good evenings mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Sounds like some good evenings mate. Morning Mate, Building locos/wagons is my real interest as you know, but with other modellers at hand makes its much more interesting where you can work out things/problems together.... PS, Love the sound of another larger 'Trebudoc' round TOPS, l have always said that was your finest layout by far.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 K10 sounds good. I have a feeling mine will be a Finney7 one once it comes out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hello Peter, Glad you have big pockets ? unlike mine Hahahaha, l was clearing out some drawers and found the drawing of the K10 and l thought it would be good project, we'll see..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hello Peter, Glad you have big pockets ? unlike mine Hahahaha, l was clearing out some drawers and found the drawing of the K10 and l thought it would be good project, we'll see..... Big pockets will have to make something to sell to get it, but the list of locos I want is getting longer, and time shorter. I was going to scratch build the K10 but now I can do one of Adams's lovely small wheeled 4-4-0s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hello Peter, At first glance the Drummond K10 does'nt look that complicated apart from the tender having flared sides, it appears to be a simple round boiler on a chassis, no doubt it will be a challenge all the same, (l do love a challenge) ?... This challenge will start with some PCB board for the loco / tender chassis, as l can solder the bits together to make a rigid chassis, fingers crossed... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 That looks an interesting Loco mate, is it about the same length as the Q1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 A tad shorter Mate and too big for my next project but l just love building one offs... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks Deano, Welcome on board my approach to loco building has always been the same and that's the cheapest way possible, l have done a few tests and l think l will use PCB board for loco / tender frames as when soldered together forms a strong rigid structure, 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
