RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 7, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Does that mean I've got to do some modelling with some photos too.Gulp.It's not even GWR either. It will take you about an hour and then another two hours to do proper handles and grabrails instead of the mouldy ones.

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted February 7, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I have a complete teak pigeon train - 2 Gresley brakes in teak, a Thompson brake third ( for the Club's selected travelling attendants) another teak Gresley brake and a wartime Thompson brake full brake in the grubby beige colour. They all look great behind a Grange or a Manor in green. Edited February 7, 2015 by M.I.B 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted February 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) These Gresley teaky type vehicles also ran over the S&DJR. I've still got some of those nice Chivers kits to make up, one day, but I did do up a Hornby Gresley full brake for use on my bit of the S&DJR a couple of years ago, a very nice vehicle indeed.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted February 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2015 Yes, I can be when treated well. Anyhow, I should be at Donny now, about to share cake with Mr Penfold. However I am not - rubbish virus again. Bu**er. Anyhow, lovely Gressy KC; top weathering jobby. Shortly I shall be ascending into the upper Duck House and fetching down Rob's Pigiron Van and a Beattie Well Tank for someone else. Let's hope Colin takes some pics for us and by the way, good looking green engine there Mr S. Quackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted February 8, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2015 Fruit vans sat idle at Tigley Junction, now fitted with better vac pipes from Dave Franks's range.

RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted February 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) That sounds like a nice train, any photos please. I will dig them out, and re-arrange the display cabinet as a form of repayment for the dozens of inspirational shots you have shared with us. Sadly North Cranford is still in boxes awaiting the move to what should be the last house before I go in a Home in 30 years time...........In the meantime I have a 7 road tall 4 foot long glass display cabinet made out of an old SR glass front notice board from Exmouth Junction shed.

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted February 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2015 Back on parade with limited connectivity. Donny show was good but no photos, sorry - I'm a bit anti the whole photography at shows thing. Lovely Grange Rob. It's lucky there's a Burghclere Grange or we could have ended up with ths same one! Poor old Phil, if it wasn't bad enough having a virus and missing the show, he's had to put up with my phone malfunctioning and sending alternate progress updates to him, instead of the lovely wife. He now thinks I'm even stranger than you lot already know I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think there will be 'homes' in 30 years time..............I'd get a Duck House ready now mate. I am soooooooo jealous of your cabinet from the 'Holy' place that was 72A but how do you fit in it?

Trains&armour Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 What's the review of the Bachmann 64xx in BRM like as I haven't seen it yet. Well, as I have the digital copy: 'This splendid pannier should be welcomed by the modeller, giving an alternative to the existing, larger ‘57XX’ tanks. The model, whilst not absolutely ‘perfect’, is very good and can be recommended, particularly to the BR Western Region modeller. It represents superb value for money.'
