Jack00 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks, Reece. Something a little different for st.Clemens. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Not much to report on St.Clemens except its now set-up as it was at the show in the railway room Need to get the halt section re-tracked and i can "play trains" again. After all, its wasted just stored away. I'll get some pictures up soon Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 After having a play with the layout i noticed a short somewhere. Turned out it was the station entry point shorting out and has a dead spot on it too. Hmm...not sure what to do as i'm not happy with the appearence of the code 100 anyway. I'll sleep on this one...pardon the pun. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 BR blue class 25/0 stands at St.Clemens station after shunting milk tanks into the siding. 1973 Quite like St.Clemens in BR blue. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack00 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Certainly is! One of the original batches of Bachmann 25's and still runs like silk. I have a newer one ex-DCC sound. Think i need to get it chipped again to rumble through the hills. Cheers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack00 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Just for fun. Ex-central trains 150/1 sprints through the Cornish countryside. Not something st.Clemens is familiar with. Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi all. Not very much to report this last week or so. Managed a few minutes here and there in the railway room. Applied for a new job and doing some mega overtime before I change jobs. I have my eye on a few bargains but I MUST be good :-) Oh I did manage to complete a GWR shunter's wagon kit though which is drying now after painting. Cambrian kit, went together nicely and a cheap way of expanding the rolling stock. Over and out for a few days... Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggyman Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hi Jack Good luck with your job application.....Hopefully if successful will give you more time for your hobby......& more cash to spend on it !!!! Quote.....(I have my eye on a few bargains but I MUST be good :-)!!!!!! I started a shunters wagon kit just before it was announced that one would be producd RTR..... As you say they go together well......must finish it !!! Good luck again Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hi Bill. Thanks for the best wishes. Hopefully should here something soon. I realised Hornby did RTR shunters wagon after I got the kit. But it kept me quiet for a bit I spose!! The thing I like about wagon kits its they can easily be converted to EM / P4 if ever desired in the future. I'll pop some pictures up soon...didn't realise I have a day off tomorrow...nice suprise, so I can drink some nice ale's and do some modelling sounds like heavan after the week I've had lol!!

RSLR Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Bachmann are producing the other variation of the shunter's wagon I think (should be a little better than the Hornby offering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks Reece. Seen the pre-production sample pictures looks like a bit of competition between the manufactures. And me...lol. Cheers . Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLR Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think quite a few of the modellers are doing the same as me (and could be the reason for the lack of sales on the Hornby offering) I'm just waiting for the Bachmann offering to be released before I make a purchase.I have the elderly Hornby here somewhere which was very basic. I also had the Cambrian kit but because I was only like 10 at the time it was never built correctly and didn't last very long (although I'm sure I thought it was great at the time), I've been meaning one day to try again with another kit but with the new models available I don't think I'll bother.

Jack00 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Definitely getting some more cambrian kits. But not everyone's idea of fun. Although the Bachmann offering is tempting. Cheers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
