RMweb Gold JCL Posted June 23, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hi everyone, blimey, this place really is fantastic for information! Thanks for sharing it, it's been very useful indeed. Hi Theakerr, yep, it is quite bad. The two riverside parks have become a part of the river, and a couple of friends have water in their basements. We are in Edmonton this weekend. we were supposed to leave Fernie on Friday, but rumour was that the road was closed/open/closing, so we decided to start Thursday evening. We managed to get through where the road was being washed away (one lane had disappeared into the river), then on the Alberta border a new waterfall was cascading down the side of a mountain and bouncing off the road. There was a huge diversion around High River, my thoughts are with that community. Finally made Calgary, and managed to get out before the worst of the flooding there. Supposed to be driving home on Monday, so will see how it goes. If you want to see something scary, the landslide on hwy 1 outside Canmore should do it. We are on the side of a hill about 3m above a creek, so the B&B should be ok. I'll find out when we get back. Hope your son hasn't been affected too much by the events.

RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 3, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) It went from very wet to very hot (38C yesterday). I'm sat in the basement at the moment doing some admin and keeping cool, and our dog is sleeping with his tongue lolling around even though there is a fan trained on him. He's currently on treats that look uncannily like ice cubes (non-fattening as well!) It's hard to remember that about a month ago we had 2" of snow! My modelling mojo is on the wain at the moment, so nothing new to report there. I've been doing some bits and pieces trying to get the locos running better, and to fix the odd issue with the track that I thought I'd fixed a while ago. In the meantime I've been looking at all of the information that everyone has been kind enough to send to me either via these posts or in other ways. It's really appreciated, and has helped me nail down some details that would have otherwise passed me by. As you will have guessed by now, I also keep an eye out for interesting things on Ebay related to Wainfleet and Skegness. There isn't a lot Wainfleet specific, but I was lucky enough to find this (although I've just seen that another one has been posted since). If anyone is in interested, I can pm or email a larger copy of this image to them. It was unusual to advertise Wainfleet as well as Skegness on these leaflets. I'm wondering why people would want to get off the train 5 miles from the coast. I haven't got one, but I've also seen these hand bills specifically advertise DMU excursions as well. I'm assuming that this was a particular draw in the 1950s and 1960s Edited July 3, 2013 by JCL 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 22, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2013 Any progress on the Waiting Room build? I've missed keeping updated with this thread Thanks for the interest The heat is sapping my energy at the moment, and the river is a-calling but I'm heading down to the dungeon in a minute to tidy up and assess the situation. Theakerr popped over to see his son last week and dropped in while he was here, which was lovely. There aren't too any of us modellers south of Calgary.

RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 25, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Well I've managed to get below ground for an hour, and the coolness down here has done wonders for both me and the puppy (I say puppy, he's rapidly heading towards 80lb, that's 115cm in new money). And it's around now that I have a confession to make. Although the track is down and ballasted on the scenic section, it's merely tacked with drawing pins "around the back". Well I'm recitfying this right now. I have my soldering iron out, and I'm soldering the flexible track together on the corners and cutting out 1/32" cork to finally get the mainline down proper. I've also girded my loins to rip up a curve leading out of the station towards Skegness. I mentioned a while back about doing something you know is wrong because you are in a rush. That wrong has now bitten me on the backside, and the curve will have to be taken up so that I can solder the flexible track to get rid of the slight kink where the track ends meet. A stitch in time and all that. Other news, my Bachmann J11 has actually come to life after being an almost ran for quite sometime. I've no idea why as I've not done anything with it for a couple of months. Maybe that's it! Putting the decoder into a split chassis put it into shock! Anyway, have banjo, will pickup (yep, I'm reeallly uncool), I'll have a go at some point at putting banjo string wipers on the tender wheels. That'll be quite some way down the list though. Anyway, the only real problem loco I have now is the new style Hornby A4 (Commonwealth of Australia). It'll go around the outside curve without a problem, but on the inside curve it short circuits. This is strange as both curves are slightly more than a 24 inch radius. I've done this to produce a wider gap in the middle of the curve to stop the stock on each of the two lines from catching on each other - the inside curve starts slightly earlier than the outside curve to compensate. Does anyone any ideas? It looks like the mojo is back, the chicken is on the BBQ, and the B&B guests from Texas, California and Florida (an all American house tonight) are upstairs watching TV, g'night y'all! p.s. Photos tomorrow! Edited July 25, 2013 by JCL 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 25, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2013 Tearing up the curve was nowhere near as bad as I'd feared. I had left a gap between the ends of the rails, so all I had to do was get a screwdriver to scrape away the ballast, use a file to "straighten up" the track to a good looking curve, then solder the result (though I'd have to say that I'm expecting the god of soldering to smite me for the crack-handed soldering I managed). Job done, and I no longer need to feel guilty looking at the nasty kink. The best news is that all of my locos go through the curve now without bouncing off the rails! Right, off for a jump in the river, back soon for another session later this afternoon. P.s. thanks for looking in, I promise to make it worth your while soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 26, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Nasty soldering, but a much smoother transition. In the end I only had to dislodge ballast from a half dozen sleepers each side This got me an interesting conversation with the checkout at my supermarket. Yes, it's clear nail varnish. Good for stopping ladders in tights by all accounts. Also good for insulating Peco insulfrog turnouts when locos short out on them. Runway one - this will be the Canadian part of the layout, and is also the mainline for Wainfleet. The chassis is for the Deltic. Theakerr was telling me that there could be a problem with the Digitrax system and some Locsound decoders. If I can't get them to work together, the decoder may end up in the classifieds. A view across the room - not tidied up, and plenty of coffee! The good thing about the curtained cupboard is that I'll be able to go in there and take photos from the opposite side. I can categorically state that the AC4400 probably didn't make it into the Eastern Region in reality... Edited July 26, 2013 by JCL 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 26, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi Freebs - would you believe I was watching them go round yesterday morning? It's been bugging me that I hadn't finished laying the track for a while now. It'll be a while before its all ballasted, I can promise you that! Little matter of that waiting room first. Hi Mick, thanks for that. It's great news for Wainfleet station! The boys in the signal box weren't too optimistic when I was there, oh, last September I think it was. Skegness was there too. It's shocking to think only 26 will be listed out of 10,000 at the peak. I hope the box gets a few coats of paint, and that they slap any leftover paint on the waiting room.

They bring memories back for me, as I lived by the line between Boston and Sleaford during the 60s and early 70s, and although my mother "lost" my steam era spotting notes at some point after I left home, the types of loco listed do agree with my hazy memories. Mind you, only the south Midlands services would have passed our house. I only really remember B1s, K3s and Ivatt 4MTs on summer excursion trains before diesels began to take over, although there may have been the occasional K2 very early in the decade, but they vanished very quickly and were soon followed by the K3s to the scrapyard. There were a fair number of K3s until 1963, but I remember wondering why I had not seen hardly any that year - a question that was answered with a shock when I saw the latest Ian Allan ABC late in 63 and discovered how few there were left. The Grantham to Skegness weekend services in the 60s (during the weekday most trains from Grantham only ran to Boston) were strengthened regularly to 6-car 114s (i.e. 3 units together) with an occasional Cravens unit in the mix, and occasionally an 8-car formation could be seen on a Saturday. At one time, there was also a service from the West Midlands, which seemed to vary between Kings Norton and Walsall as starting points IIRC. This tended to be either two or three Metro-Cammell 3-car units which were almost unknown on that line otherwise, forming either a 6-car or 9-car set, but I can't remember for how many years this service ran with these units. Soon, even the B1s had gone and all the dated trains and excursions were in the 'hands' of 31s, 25s and a few 37s. I do vaguely remember a pair of 20s on passenger trains in the 1960s, maybe on a couple of occasions, but they tended to be a feature from the early 70s onwards.

jonny777 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The summer Sundays of 1959 certainly saw class 20, 21, 23, 26, and 31 working to Skegness, but I never saw them working in pairs. Wasn't aware of the class 16s but that can be justification for it on my layout based on Boston. I know that I am a bit late commenting on this statement, but could you supply the references for these workings? All that I have found so far, is that on 23rd July 1961 a Baby Deltic D5909 was used on a Biggleswade to Mablethorpe excursion, but that would not have passed through Wainfleet. I would have grave doubts about any unconfirmed reports of class 15s or 16s venturing that far. I saw a few 15s on the GN&GE, but only when they were being towed to Doncaster works for a good seeing to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 30, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2013 Inspired by Lee (Freebs) who is building a version of the waiting room in Wainfleet, I'm going to make a start on the original version. I'm ashamed to say this is almost two months after posting the intention to make a start! Anyway, post #127 gives the details of the waiting room along with the plan that I've just printed off here. My intention is to use a sandwich of two layers of thin foam card for the main walls - one with the windows, and one with the "fiddly stuff" (insert architectural words here), finally the blue bricks of the lower wall will be matt card used in picture framing - this is the same as that used on the preserved(!) signal box. The windows will be cut, as usual with the silhouette cutter, and to match the signal box, the roof will be Scalescenes. That said, I wish now I'd painted the signal box roof. Right, kitchen cleanup and I'll make a start. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 31, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Well, that's everything cut out I'm not going to be winning prizes for speed, nor accuracy of intent. I forgot just how thick the foamboard is, so I'm using matt card for everything except the floor now. The little notches at the top were b****rs! Edited to say: I've cut the sides and bottom of each window, but I haven't cut the curved portion. I'll do this after I've glued the two layers together to ensure that the arch has the same profile on both layers. Next, wallpapering with brick!

RMweb Gold JCL Posted July 31, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) The other thing that I've done in preparation is manipulate the photos that I took of the waiting room the last time that I was in England to see if I could use them as wallpaper instead of using Scalescenes. While it's an interesting idea that I'm sure will work on the station building proper, the fact that there are a number of layers, and the fact that I'd have to be very accurate indeed with the cuttings means I've decided to use Scalescenes after all for the main brick, and the photos for the arches. I'll be using the watercolour pen-brush again that I used on the signal box to weather the brickwork - it worked well enough before. The other thing that the photo below does is keep me on the straight and narrow and ensure that I don't miss any of the "twiddly bits". One thing that will be interesting is that there is a single middle layer of brick between the outer and inner at the top, and two below the end of each window arch! Why would you do that? :-/ Only joking! The image above shows the two ends tacked onto the front. This mimics the drawing that I did some time ago on post #127 A comparison with the signal box using Scalescenes and weathering (sorry about the repeat showing for this photo). I know, I know, no posts in yonks and suddenly there are three in one day! G'night. Edited July 31, 2013 by JCL 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
