Tempfix Rich Papper Posted July 20, 2016 Tempfix Share Posted July 20, 2016 Looking very nice already sir. This is my next project too, but am building the centre car with Replica parts. May I ask if you've found any suitable transfers for the hand painted bits on the cab front? Good luck with it! Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 20, 2016 Evening all Yes I'm still alive and well and tonight the airbrush was alive again at last. Having been away to South Africa and busy for work before and since, modelling has taken a backseat, but tonight the elusive Thumper project saw the light of day once again! ThumperBlue_200716.jpg The 3 car Thumper has gained its first colour stripe, so far so good with no paint bleed onto white previously sprayed. I very much doubt it will be ready for Barnstaple in ten days time but at least it has moved forward. If you're coming along to the show please say hello as its just Paul and me for this one so we could use a little help if you fancy a go. Looking very good so far. I must start my centre car some day although it will be in green. See you at Barnstaple. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ian, Looking forward to seeing Tidworth in action and meeting your good self this weekend at the Barnstaple show. Sadly like your thumper, my 4TC kit build (we have spoken about in the past) is also nowhere near ready for the Barny show!! Will you be bringing the blue/grey 4TC to run at the weekend? Would be really interested to see it, especially the roof detail to get some tips. Also really interested in your 3 car thumper as it is something I will require for my eventual 'Salisbury-ish' based layout. See you over the weekend, Rich.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 26, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi Rich I look forward to meeting you too and letting you have a go. I will have a 4TC with me that belongs to a friend to look at although I've sold my kit on as I've ordered a NSE version from Kernow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted July 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) I can loan you a nice pair of 37s for the weekend Ian ........ oh hang on, you might get told they're too loud like Darren did at New Milton Edited July 26, 2016 by scoobyra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 26, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 26, 2016 you might get told they're too loud like Darren did at New Milton Could you hear them above the 20s and station announcements then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted July 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2016 Could you hear them above the 20s and station announcements then? It was the station announcements that they got told to turn off! I love them, I think it's great....actually, maybe I might build Clapham Junction and have them going off every 3 seconds...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 29, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Morning all Just an update on that Thumper thing before I load up ready to sample the delights of the A303 on a Friday afternoon as Tidworth heads to Barnstaple. All the stripey bits done now and just a bit of fettling required with a small brush and a steady hand to complete! Then blacken the ends and the roofs and its job done at last. Not ready for this weekend but the 'Leaford Thumper' will be standing in again (thanks Kevin) at Barnstaple where I hope to see some of you for a chat.
