I thought we had problems with our house move. You also beat me hands down though by distance, we are only moving thirty miles. all the very best Brian G'Day Brian Well packed container, think I might have to get one one day. I only had to move it 2,300 km, I took 6 days to get there, unload and get back. All safe and sound. Strange, my surname is on one of your boxes. manna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contents perhaps.......😅. When we moved 20 years ago. We moved 130 miles. We had 2 large removals wagons and 3 cars. That took 2 days to do. All my model railway stock engines/coaches/wagons were in my estate car. Did it safe and sound, Except for some of my wife's best china which the removals firm managed to break.

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted April 1 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1 13 hours ago, manna said: G'Day Folks Long time no post. Been very busy on other things, I've had to sort out and pack as much of my stuff as possible onto a trailer and transport it across Australia, I can't get it all on board, so I've had to be very selective, all of my Tools, that will be needed to refurbish the house, then whatever else I can pack. All up 100% of my tools, and 75% of my models/railway stuff is now in Queensland. I'll have to do another trip next year, as there are plenty of books etc still to be transported. Very little in the way of modelling has been accomplished, except for the J54 now having a number, there should be a small 'N' after the number, but I can't find my yellow paint (not surprising really) manna Happy for you mate! Having done the same thing, twice, I know it’s a good feeling being back in possession of your tools (and modeling stuff.) When I came to the states I had just two duffel bags of gear. Look at me now! Onwards and upwards mate! J54 is the dogs do-dahs. If the back looks like it’s sticking up like a bitch on heat, it’s possible to place a 12mm long bit of plastic under that rear axle! At least the couplings on my 8 or 9 Hornby 060s now line up with all my stock! Regards Shaun 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to having everything under one roof again. I didn't realise that I had accumulated so much, there must be at least half a ton. Next year there will be at least another 200kg of Books and Magazines to be taken to Queensland. This is what the Garden looked like after the wet season. manna 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manna Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 G'Day Folks Mucking about with a Lima horsebox, as I said last year, I wanted to see if I could turn it into a GN, CCT, don't look to bad so far. I've taken all the detail back to a flat surface, and 'Planked' the sides and ends (they are a bit wide), then using pre cut strips (Evergreen) added the end doors and framing, just reached painting stage, other than changing the wheels to 'Munsell' type I won't be touching the chassis for a while, it's almost time to head North again. In the last picture I need to add two large louvered air vents, this will get done later. manna 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manna Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 G'day Folks Afraid not. Everything has had to be packed away and transported to Queensland for the Winter. I'm now up to my neck in Tropical grass, fencing etc. But I will be heading back to the horsebox/CCT conversion ASAP. Another wagon has had a bit of work, this one is an Ian Kirk LNER box wagon. manna 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
