Andrew F Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 They were always a bit more cultured than that in Brum I think The glazing has the authentic vandal proof perspex or whatever, yellowing just starting to occur on some of it's panes which will be helped by a thousand school kids scratchings and burns....God, I get the chills from that bus stop.....mission accomplished Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted August 28, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2010 A huge beast, really sounds the part too! More pics and info (and video) if possible in the overseas modelling thread, it looks very sexy in the seaboard paint. Is it really nice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to tell you Jim - you have arrived !!! You have delivered a perfect replica of inner city Brummy life, apart from maybe a few dog ends and a "pavement pizza" on the kerb.

Just as I remember. Just needs a nice Metro in blue and cream standing adjacent. (Maybe at a terminus with my Dad standing up changing the blinds.......) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like that image, Simon, nice misty, sepia effect on the shed too! Is the working - in 1963 - a special charter over the S&MJR? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the working - in 1963 - a special charter over the S&MJR? Thanks Captain It's meant to be a recreation of a photograph I've found of the "Wandering 1500" railtour, 1963, Willesden to Willesden. I've been reading an account, titled "Is that you Butcher?" from Steam World Magazine. It's gripping stuff, and since my B12 was 61572 anyway, I've been modifying it to try and recreate the engine, as it was when it did that railtour.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 4, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2010 I've been reading an account, titled "Is that you Butcher?" That'll be my friend David Butcher, if you found his articles interesting, I'd recommend his railway career autobiography 'From Steam to Stone', published by Oakwood Press Still an active modeller, David has a huge knowledge of railways and their operations and is one of life's true gentlemen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that an eloquent and humorous writer - I haven't been able to put these articles on the B12's run down for at least a week. They have some spectacular photographs too April and May editions, 2007. I was lucky to pick them up in the old Loughborough Book Shop (sadly gone).
