RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 26, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 26, 2017 It is very nice to see wagons loaded but I think Mike is cheating, he didn't show us the fish in their boxes inside the fish vans. :locomotive: :locomotive: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2017 There was one on eBay for £159.95! Way beyond my price bracket. I shouldn't be buying locos anyhow. It's rails, point motors, cork and plywood I need! Can't wait to see 42969 on Dent (that's if you qualify for a remortgage on your house).

Regards Shaun Agreed, I shall certainly be putting the brakes on purchasing due to escalating costs, my only current exception will be 46256 'Sir William Stanier FRS' I have drooled over having this particular loco since I was in my pram! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) That Stanier Mogul is a nice job Mike, I was DROOLING over one myself today, but having just bought the 14XX for Tewithen from a famous Ex Liverpool Store my wallet is now well and truly empty.

If not, it's interesting for your forthcoming purchase as it shows Stanier Mogul 42959 on a southbound local at Hellifield in 1965. I'm guessing it's probably come off the Morecambe branch at Settle Junction, but I stand to be corrected of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KnXaPN1Jl0&index=1&list=LLY0ySSU7i5uhEa-J5uxIZvA The Mogul appears at 1:09 Best wishes Edmund 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

67A Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Cont... Here is the detail pack laid out, now either I'm loosing my touch or Bachmann's tooling is a bit rough as I found fitting several items required the use of a drill to locate and or easing. The new format booklet style instruction sheets and warranty etc. on shiny paper!!! And now for something completely different This was at one time my original D1 'Scafell Pike' which took a nose-dive of the baseboard at the Manchester MRX show a few years ago, the chassis got snapped plus other damage so was put away until I picked up an old Peak for a fair price and swapped the various parts, new problem now was the fact I already had another D1 as my mate John who, well shall we just say, he gave me his therefore I chose my favourite Class 44, D4 'Great Gable' ( I actually removed the nameplates for safe keeping at Toton). So the original D1 was converted to D4 with Shawplan nameplates and Modelmaster decals, I also replaced the plastic handrails with fabricated brass for more robust handling - but no nose-diving John, yes you John So that's another two loco's to the roster, I'll need an MPD soon Edit: Ah I can see one handrail is a bit skew-wiff Edited March 4, 2017 by mike61680 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

67A Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Hi all, Weekend update... Firstly a new addition to be detailed.. The very long awaited Stanier Mogul, the first 4 are as new with detail fitted The next three are the results of the first weathering attention, this will be added to as time goes on cont/...

67A Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Next is a job for my mate Gary.. This Class 40 started off as 40 075 but Gary having driven 40 076 it required a renumbering, easy one would think but I found the Bachmann applied digits were about 1.8mm tall and applying a new '6' stood out like a sore thumb so the whole number had to be done, first time I have come across this. Again first basic application Now back to my own Peak 'D4' I have corrected the missing discs on No.2 end, they were in at one point - honest. cont/... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 I was asked to post a few pic's of the road roller and promptly forgot!!! So here it is with apologies. Next up a mini playtime, just been too busy. Stanier 8F 48154 slows for a signal check with a southbound empty mineral working 3F 0-6-0 43762 slowly works a northbound unfitted freight to Carlisle London Rd goods. cont/... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Just a few more of the two freights to close The local coal merchant is back to load up his goods The 8F patiently awaits the right-away' The mineral empties gain speed on a rare level section of the S&C and pass a short rake of coke hoppers in the siding. The ganger looks interested! Last glimpse of the 8F before it heads into Widdale tunnel, that's it guys. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted March 12, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2017 I especially like the third and fourth, slightly oblique views in your last post, Mike. And good to see Great Gable in her green guise. I have the model in blue livery - not quite as appealing! Another good collection matey - keep 'em coming!!

67A Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi all, No update this weekend I'm afraid, a very good friend of our little railway group passed away suddenly yesterday. The only thing I have done since is try a few camera settings after Rich (Marsh Lane) posted some info on Andy Peters 'Kingsford' regarding settings etc. so these are the results. The first two are on ISO 400 at f4.3 the next two are on the camera's IA setting 'intelligent auto' the next two are on my usual camera's 'Sport' setting cont/... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 the next two are on ISO 200 at f8.................REALLY! the next two are at ISO 800 at f6.3 and just for fun setting 'Dynamic Monochrome' You can probably tell why I just push the button usually Hahaha That's it guys. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
