They say that the devil is in the detail and 82006 has the correct 83A shedcode for NA fitted courtesy of a 247 plate.

In which case surely it would also have worked the branch passenger train. Evidence please... :-)

Usually indicative of unwise extra couplings (not to be confused with Kadees). A friend many years ago told me that paraffin was an effective remedy. 

I thought you just boiled them. Unless they're hermits, of course.

[Mallard60022]

That's an interesting one Brian and maybe I should move figures around a bit although that's how the paintwork gets chipped etc Anyone else have an opinion on this.

We are lucky indeed that the sisters Finching have remained seated for all these years and are able to move without damage or mess to another seat!

How are the steps coming on?

Which brings up the question how did you get down onto the beach to paint the rocks?

Good question.82006 was one of three to have worked the branch in the mid 50s but I've never seen a decent photo of this possibly brief encounter. I don't have any BR passenger stock to do it anyway, just freight and parcels vans I'm afraid.

A four compartment brake, possibly non-corridor..

A D95 corridor brake third as per Hornby and a Hawksworth non-corridor something, probably a brake composite.

I think a couple of blood and custard coaches behind 82006 would look rather splendid.

I agree. A Maunsell 2-Set P comes to mind.

2-P or not 2-P, that is (out of) the question!

A little more work done on the beach with me painting the rocks Humbrol black green and adding dark scatter over them to represent seaweed. I'm going to add some more still water between the rocks to make rockpools.

I do like the overall effect here, Robin, but if I may just make a teeny, weeny comment in the way of the most positive and constructive criticism that it is possible to make, with my most respectful hat on and several instant retractions ready to be deployed if I have in any way offended, which I can most assuredly confirm is in no way my intention at any time or in any place, but it is just perhaps ever so slightly possible that the white foam effects on the new water surface are a little too regular and possibly might be improved with a little more randomness?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese don't hate me! I'm still your friend, honest I am!

[gwrrob]

Not at all Captain , can you point me in the direction that most offends you and I’ll attend to it immediately if not sooner. I can paint them out and reapply the still water.
