wiggoforgold Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Re my post 124. The gates used to have a cast "please shut the gate" type sign on the top rail. Any idea where I might get one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL 'O THE WYND Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi Alex, with all the loose linkage I omitted to congratulate you on your recent set of photos. Excellent! Can't have too many, and I mean that. Once(if) a layout reaches a stage where it breathes the life of the prototype, then it can be photographed indefinitely, from all distances and angles, with all combinations of stock, and/or road vehicles. It's an echo of time and place and can only be improved by the finest of detail, ie: Gravett! I told you I bought the Part One Trees (broadleaf - I'm not too interested in the conifers just now) and the Grassland. Between the two, a person could spend forever fine-tuning even the best of layouts. Hal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted February 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18, 2015 Evening Alex, Was waiting for this! Bet you can't believe it? Such a brilliant model. Mine is in Northamptonshire awaiting collection. Will need a Westinghouse pump and sheet rail adding to the tender. A really beautiful model and like you you part of the missing link for the Kettering-Cambridge line. Just need Bachmann to come up trumps with a BR Std 78000 now! Looking forwards to further shots as well. Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggoforgold Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I haven't studied it in detail yet. I'm thinking real coal in the tender, a crew, and some light weathering to give a "used" look. There's some nice colour pictures in Peter Swinger's "On Great Eastern Lines". It runs well, straight out of the box. Haven't had a chance to see what it will pull yet. They don't all have the Westinghouse pump. Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Looking at some shots of 65442/65474 on shed at Huntingdon in the Sawford book no Westinghouse pumps. Sheet rail on tender of 65442 so should be fairly easy.

wiggoforgold Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Just been studying my Hornby J15. Two things occur to me: 1) It's so nice, should I have got 2? 2) In the spirit of never being satisfied with what we've got, should we now campaign for a J17?

PGC Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Just been studying my Hornby J15. Two things occur to me: 1) It's so nice, should I have got 2? 2) In the spirit of never being satisfied with what we've got, should we now campaign for a J17? Alex It seems I'm bucking the trend for buying kits and then the loco is released R-T-R before the kit is built. As you can see here I've got my Gibson J15 complete well before the Hornby one was released, and as you can see below, I've got my J17 complete except for finishing the weathering, coal and crew. Bring it on Hornby, you can't upset me! :-) Oh, and Hornby, I've also completed my E4 and I'm 1/3rd way through building my J19, so don't think you can upset my by sneekily introducing those loco's, I'm ahead of your game!

wiggoforgold Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Good man Phil. I was trying to think of what else we need, but you seem to have it covered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGC Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 You could also use a J20 (Hornby, I haven't bought the kit yet - now's your chance! :-) ) and, of course, there are the F tanks, along with the Buckjumpers. Hornby have loads of choice that I haven't yet bought kits for, but I get this funny feeling they won't consult me when they're deciding what locos to produce next!

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted February 19, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've a feeling from a practical point of view Hornby have the basic components for an E4 2-4-0 with the tender and boiler. It's a lovely class of engine and would be my favourite. Bit like Alex. I've a feeling one J15 isn't enough! Cheers, Mark Be good to see the J15 on your timber bridge Alex! Subtle hint!

Anthony Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 How about a Johnson 1F, which was quite often seen at Huntingdon, and nearby, struggling with the fruit trains? Makes the J15 look massive! Anthony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
