RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted October 2, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2022 Something John @checkrail said yesterday on Stoke Courtenay, inspirational as ever, struck a chord with me regarding bunker first running. Something I must do more particularly on the branch as this @AY Mod photo of six years ago now shews. Small prairie 5551 arrives from Kingsbridge whilst an unidentified Hall 😉 passes with the down milk train. As I'm now using Hunts , a detailed front buffer shouldn't interfere like a normal tension lock does. He has certainly given me some food for thought and small prairies do look nice running this way. 38 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Limpley Stoker Posted October 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) I have been experimenting with soft iron wire to fashion a tension lock loop in the NEM socket- the hunt elite couplings have enough attraction to the wire to haul six free running Hornby coaches, I must try it for ‘goalpost’ loops which look better.

Lovely shot by AY there. The colour tones make it look just like one of those early colour pics from the 1940s in books such as 'The big four in colour'. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Nice job there indeed. Not only have you added a nice model to your fleet, you've done your bit for the planet! Of course, you could have put the wreck on eBay with a big headline: L@@K!! KIT BUILT!!! and tried getting £35 for it, much to the amusement of the eBay madness thread ... 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
