MarcD Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Just sent the first 2 3D printed 2-4-2Ts to the printers.Should have them back in a few weeks. One will have flush rivets on the smoke box the other will have snapheads. Most people wouldn't see the difference but its there. Marc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 More stock designed and ordered. Furness/LMS/BR medium cattle van. It just needs axle boxes, buffers, couplings and a roof. it comes straight from the printers as a complete block so it will take longer to paint than it will to finish the build.

MarcD Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Two shots of the progress on the Furness 2-4-2Ts. One more coat of red them buffer beams and the parts that should be black. But the big question is how many donkeys is to much? I have 4 is that too many donkeys? And before anyone ask yes I do have thing for donkeys. I have had to settle for small ones as the LSW will not allow me to have a real one. Marc 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15class Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I might be tempted if they do number 735 the Drummond boiler, in either livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 That would be nice. I have noticed one slight error the pipes are still westing house and they should be vac. But only an anorak like myself would notice that. It might get a run out a a borrowed loco at the NEC. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Unfortunately due to a number of family issues that can't be sorted before the Warley NEC show we have had to withdraw the layout from the show. It has been a hard decision but you have to put family first. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Following on from having to pull out of a number of shows this year , due to illness of operators, we are reconstructing the layout to allow it to be operated with less operators. The plan is to loose one of the traversers and reconstruct one of the boards into the run-round. This will mean the minimum running size of 16ft but with additional boards it will go out to 30ft. We will be working on the run-round this year for the two shows we will be talking the layout to this coming year so we will be operating as a 16ft length.

MarcD Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Now that GuildEx is over and done with, things are progressing with the modifications and the LBSCR stock for Folkstone Show next month. The old traverser is no longer and the new track will be down and tested by the end of the week. I now have a 4th LBSCR Terrier "Fenchurch" this time it was on the Dapol Stand yesterday morning for £150 so it would be rude not to. So that make 5 in total now. My name is Marc and I have a Terrier Problem! So that is Brighton, Thames BoxHill , Fenchurch and LSWR 734. Also got two 2 plank ballast wagons from Sixteen mills and a Craven Passenger brake from Ian Maccormac. Also got two part built Roxey mouldings LBSCR coaches of Ebay last month.

N15class Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 It's strange they did 734 when 735 out lived it in LSWR/SR service. Nice work on the wagons, must get a couple from you sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Some more progress photos. Track will go down in the morning. So I everything goes smoothly then I will ballast tomorrow afternoon. Marc 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
