enginelane Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Regular visitors to this thread may remember a fuel tanker should have on display at Sheffield. The completed tanker is somewhere but fell foul of the ' it's been on the windowsill in the kitchen' 3 day rule and if not moved gets shifted by the wife to who knows where!

Wrighty Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I was looking forward to seeing that fuel tanker too! Hopefully it will turn up soon Some cracking pics this is one of my favourite layouts. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taking advantage of wife being in Germany to empty out the spare bedroom so hopefully will come across the tanker! Thanks for your comments regarding the layouts. It's too big to put up in the Clubrooms without having to empty downstairs room so it's only at exhibitions we can run trains Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Finally found the tanker. It was in the garage mixed up with some Vimes Street stuff. I must have put it in there to spray a coat of primer and with being ill never went back in there again until I was looking for something else this morning. Still needs primer coat and finishing! I will of course apologise to the wife Edited March 24, 2016 by enginelane 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I think it looks very smart in its red oxide primer - seems a shame to paint it red 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 The BFA wagon looked a little light on the pipe loads when running at Sheffield so more pipes made up and now the wagon looks the part! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangoman69 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Got to see Troutons in the flesh last week at Sheffield. The pictures shown in the previous posts don't truly portray the effort the Wakefield team have put into it. The real thing is even more inspirational than the photos, I'd urge anyone to get out and see it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 First coat of Matt black and steel added. The humbrol acrylic Matt black seems very thin even though a new tin and stirred for an age 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Tooth extraction and after 50 mins of janking on the bad boy it finally came out and nearly took out the dental assistant who chose a bad time to lean in! Will spend the rest of the day waiting for the numbness to wear off and the pain to begin! I think a bit of painting is called for on the tanker!

enginelane Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Spurred on by Tangoman and his description of how to make a thin bore pipe load and to take off my mind from a throbbing jaw progress made so far. I did start a load before it was going to cost more in Evergreen tube than the wagon itself but using the what cannot be seen only use bits of tubing I think it will be cost effective load 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Day 1 at Keighley and in the Ingrow a Engine Shed not the Carriage Museum. Open 10 to 4 Sunday. Interesting day never put a layout up across boards spanning a railway track and has resulted in a very bouncy fiddleyard but layout running remarkably well today. Taking opportunity to test out different running patterns and less stock created some interesting routes and workings to put in the full,exhibition running. Spiral staircase next to layout meant opportunity to take some birds eye shots and of the fuel tanker waiting for the next loco! 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Layout back in storage after a cold day inside the Ingrow Loco museum but good to talk to a lot of interested visitors to the museum. Repair needed to a fiddle board end piece of track otherwise just a little fettling needed for Wigan and Wakefield in the autumn. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginelane Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Saw New Bryford at the Cleakheaton/ Bradford Show yesterday and the Network 150 was running and has spurred me onto to complete my conversion - not sure if I can get sound sorted though! So aim is indeed Wigan to have it ready and rolling 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
