Wolf27 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think we should set up an RTC specific topic as there are some fantastic models out there! Perhaps I'll look at it later. Cheers Shane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care Darren We'll have to arrange a 'loan agreement' so Mick can show them on his 'Deadman's Lane' layout some time, along with a veritable fleet of E-Trains and POP-Trains from the rest of us of course. That's so long as he agrees NOT to re-paint them yellow.................. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 There was a RTC layout in BRM (I think) a few months ago. Very nice it was too ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Welby Lane, not sure if Mark Pearson, the builder is on here. It would be cool to have all our RTC models together at the same time, somewhere! Mark and I did discuss earlier this year and thought about linking our layouts up. Only issue with that is mine is P4 and Mark's is 00! Cheers Shane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Tilt Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yes, I know about 'Welby Lane'. Mark and I have been in contact for a while and I gave him some info on the RTC vehicles that I knew of. But Welby Lane is a sort of hybrid of the RTC and Old Dalby rather than the RTC itself. It would take LOTS of space to do the RTC properly, just look at the amount of cutting and shutting that Mick had to do to get 'Deadman's Lane' down to a practical size. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRail Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 What colour should the train be painted and are there any pictures showing the transfers required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Tilt Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 What colour should the train be painted and are there any pictures showing the transfers required Grey, all of the tubes anyway. The cabin sides, roof and most of the ends were non-painted aluminium. Pretty boring I agree, but there was hardly any area to paint in the pretty RTC Red/Blue scheme. Of course that will trigger someone into painting one of Paul's kits into Red/Blue I expect. I'll add a colour key to the drawings to show which bits were painted and which weren't. This pic of the recovery of the 'Jan 9th Incident' shows PC3's number, PC4 was similar. You can see the grey shade of the structure and the aluminum of the cabin too.

Mr_Tilt Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Looking at my pics in some depth I'd say that the lower level of the POP-Train's frames were a darker grey than the upper tubes and the ballast weights. The support girders for the ballast weights would seem to be the same darker grey too. I'll emphasise that in the drawings. Oh yes, the pipework on the side of the vehicles, as shown in Sheet 2 of the drawings, was white, but see the note below about how it all gor dirtier and dirtier. As time went on the whole frame of the vehicles got dirtier though, so the difference between the two greys got more difficult to determine. And as far as I can recall we NEVER had the thing cleaned. It would have been a waste of time passing it through a carriage cleaning plant and it would have needed a cast of thousands to clean each individual tube!
