Guest jim s-w Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi All I would like to get my 317/1 finished along with my 310 and 2 312's in 2010. I also MUST get my DMU sides done and class 86 bits but my main goal for 2010 is to get this built. Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 24, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi All I would like to get my 317/1 finished along with my 310 and 2 312's in 2010. I also MUST get my DMU sides done and class 86 bits but my main goal for 2010 is to get this built. So what's keeping you? Don't forget that people outside London don't understand the "stand on the right" rule on escalators, so some confused left lane standees are a necessary feature there!

Guest jim s-w Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Indeed Ian But remember what some Londoners don't realise is that places outside of London don't have the stand on the right rule! The escalators at New St are very narrow and Platform 12 (the nearest one to the public) only has stairs and lifts. Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted December 24, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2009 1) Finish my 00 shunty plank enough so I can play trains, not finished finished. 2) Design and build a P4 semi circle or full circle for the challenge depending on my calculations of width and radius. Detail planning has yet to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I've been putting it off far too long, and I'm making a VEP my first priority. No you're not...! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardybloke Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Well, the to-do list is incredibly long so I won't bore you all with it Major priority is a working 2010 challenge layout... but to get the scenics of that going (or the buildings at least) I need to know my maximum size of loco - so that means finishing my Backwoods Blanche pretty sharpish! I can make a reasonable guess, but I don't want Mr Cock-up to visit me again. Then I need to finish the tracklaying, and the electrics, and the bogie stock, and the slate wagons, and the buildings, and the scenery, and the S&D7F...

RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted December 25, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2009 Nice idea for a thread . Hopefully some of these to run on the next "Farthing" installment: And then finish restoration of some of the great stock I took over from Chris Edge a while back: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I will complete my DC Kits 105 before Bachmann release theirs (might have quite a bit of time to do that one!), then there's the 114 and the 120, not to mention the 119 acquired cheaply from a club sales stand, not my thing really but it was too good to turn down. And that's before I even get to freight stock, HTO x 5 and HTV x 6, the VVV train is almost there, just needs painting and then there's 40+ Airfix/ Dapol/ Parkside kits for MCOs and MCVs..... It would be interesting to lock this thread after the first week in Jan and then revisit next Christmas! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0rris Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 This year will probably start with two 1.32 ars kits both in Hornby Boxes, a Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang to be built as BSCC (BTCC's predecessor) cars from the 1970s but on the railway front someday soon I will start a scratchbuild of a 42xx tank and then hopefully a TVR 02 once I find drawings of both them! m0rris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this will be whilst you are waiting for the road at Ropley then? Nice one Phil & thanks everyone. Remember there are only a few hours left to delete your entries so that we can not chase you up to see if you were kidding!! May you all have a happy and successful 2010 and may your kits all go together perfectly, first time and with no wonky after-running. Sincerely, Missedabit S. Oldering.

cromptonnut Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Get my bl***dy layout finished - some time ??? I too have that aim. I had it last year. Strangely enough, I had it the year before too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenser Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I did this on my workbench blog and the "jobs outstanding" ran to about a screen and a half..... Some of them are the same as in some in postings above - Cravens unit, finish off the layout , finish off the stuff that was supposed to be done in 2009 (the Walrus is almost there) However - if you don't count the Pacer which was at least started in 2009 - the first cab off the rank will be the Southern bogie brake, possibly followed by the ex LNW ex M&GN BCK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Finally put the finishing touches to my DCKits 2H. And I have just bought a DJH S15. Oh, and get on with some scenery on Somercombe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted January 12, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2010 Finally get round to building my set of Etched Pixels LBSCR 4-wheelers. I have the chassis, I have the paint (at last, after a very long and frustrating search)...I even have the loco to pull them (don't get too excited, it's the Dapol Terrier).

Sailor Charon Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well, I guess it's going to be to get the engine sheds - or at the very least, the tracks for the engine sheds done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etched Pixels Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I am currently trying to build all the kits and bits from my "pending" box, including those I put aside as too hard initially. Unfortunately that means my bench now simply contains twice as many half finished projects as before at this point. - although the 02 and 47579 have progressed to the decal stage now.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 15, 2010 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2010 Started it tonight! How's that for resolution? Well done the 'other' Phil. Tried starting my wagon last night and almost immediately came to a halt as I was unable to translate the instructions (see request for help elsewhere!). Hey hoh! Perhaps I'll get out the O1?
