Loving the bot voiceover

 

I think "Graham" was suffering from a bit too much Cock.  Cock Marling will keep sending free samples as part of their advertising campaign.  He was definitely having a bit of a problem with Wool ver HAM tun

Cassocks from Hassocks should be in Bargains, I would post it but it might not go down well after the last Bargain thread got locked last night.

 

I gather the stock controller is now an ex-stock controller.  To err is human, to forgive divine.  Cassocks from Hassocks are not big on Divinity.

Thank you for the kind comments, Mark and myself (with the occasional help of Dave) strive to make each video different from the last. On the modelling front I've converted a Hornby VIX Ferry van into a RRX runner wagon for use on my expanding fleet of steel trains. This is the wagon before resprating, the wagon has been lowered and brass bearings fitted.

Cleaning the track ready for an operating session tomorrow, got me thinking about the chemical works that is in the corner by the window. I've not been satisfied with it for some time now, so I've decided to turn it into a steel terminal, much like the old yards at Wednesbury or Brierley Hill.

Well with the loss of the broadband at 5pm yesterday, I found myself with some spare time. So I went up stairs and got on with some good old fashioned modelling.

The steel terminal now has a completed office, this was an old Pola Bletchley station kit that Mark donated to me some time ago, it's sat around waiting for a use until now.

I've recently bought some stock off the chap whose layout was Wickham Works Junction, two of the BDA's had nylon ratchet straps so after speaking with him, I've now added my own. My own attempt is the bright blue strap on the far right of the wagon load.

Here is another BDA that I've added strap too and are just waiting a lick of blue paint.

Here is what I was recommended to use.

37519 and 20172 were both purchased from Wickham Works as well as a clutch of steel wagons.

I've been after a Hornby Class 50 for Pendeford Yard for a longtime now, thanks to Lee Edmondson of Lees Loco's I dropped onto a lovely bargain that just needed some TLC.

Great addition Simon love the 50s myself always thought them and 56s look the best in large logo blue . that shinny grey has got to go its way to clean . the factory applied weathering looks smart on the chassis any plans to weather the body mate .

Cheers Andy, weathering will followas 50045 was in the DCWA POOL in 1988 so was looking a bit grubby and neglected from pictures I've seen on Flickr.

Hi Somon.

Pretty sure 045 was in NSE liv in the late 80s.

Cheers Peter

 

There are photos of it in Large Logo in July 1989 on Flickr so it's safe for 1988!  It looks like it received the "straight through stripe" version of NSE sometime shortly after as there is a photo of it in September in the revised NSE livery.
