ess1uk Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 More excellent pictures Ian. How easy was it to change the couplings on the VEAs? I have a couple that have no couplings and I need to sort something out for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Many Thanks Ian, great pics - I have a bit of a thing with Tampers and Departmental/Engineers Stock - I was hoping that a manufacturer would have graced us with a decent 1980s 75 Tonne Diesel Breakdown Crane by now ... we can live in hope . Cheers, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted February 12, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2016 How easy was it to change the couplings on the VEAs? Hi Martin Hadn't forgotten just not had time to take pics for you. Once the Hornby loops and the post that the hook attaches to were removed, a square of plasticard was glued in place as a base. In my case a scrap piece of Wills box profile steel sheeting which was exactly the right thickness (more by luck than judgement!) This Bachmann coupling and pocket was then glued on top of the plasticard. Its the one with the crank in it. View of the underside after painting the plasticard black. Lousy pic of the completed van but with this mod and new metal wheels (Hornby 12.6mm 3 hole wheels) they run sweetly and look a lot better to my eyes. Best of luck with yours! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted February 12, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Evening all I've been playing again tonight and took some more pics. 47482 arrives into the loop with this weeks Fertiliser delivery. The duff runs round its train. Sets back onto the train and as you can see 73132 has moved from the sidings to the platform for loading of it's solitary GUV. The 47 will now drop the wagons into the yard. Meanwhile the shunter has been busy making up a train for the 47 to depart with. Here it picks up the empty tanks from the fuel point in preparation for the duff to collect. Having positioned its incoming train in the yard, 47482 now picks up the tanks from the shunter to add to the other wagons already arranged by the 08. The 47 now waits for the road as a 159 arrives at the platform. The passenger service was being chased by 37092 and a civil engineers train which now occupies the loop. After the 47 departed the 37 ran round its train and can now be seen in front of some Seacows. We picked a busy afternoon as almost immediately 33035 arrives from Marchwood with an MoD train for Ludgershall! Hope I've not overdone it! Off to the goods shed at Alresford tomorrow to help operate the Ropley layout built by a fellow RMwebber so if you're visiting the Steam Gala come and say hello.

D9JEF Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi Ian, Looking really good. What have you used for the fertiliser bags in OCA wagons? They look very good. Also impressed with the weathering on the engineers wagons. Thanks Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're ever down this way on a holiday trip get in touch and break the journey here. Ian, Warley's just 25 minutes down the road, but at a TENNER for the Car Park, then the Entry Fee and then a couple of coffee's you can wave good buy to nearly THIRTY QUID, And last time I went I couldn't get any where near Bath Green Park to even see it, let alone get any Photos. Sorry but I don't consider that good value I'm afraid. I'm sure you'll be at DEMU soon, that's just 10 minutes away and good value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOEng03 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi, Reading through your post with great enthusiasm. Excellent works and there is some inspiration that I may take to my layout. Can I ask if 56049 is the older Hornby version of the 56 or is it a respray? If the former, then it looks hardly any different to the super detail version.
