georgeT Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Had a great weekend in Whitby with SWMBO and the weather was lovely, and it was very hot, spent some time on the NYM railway catching the 10;00 from Whitby to Pickering and back stopping off at various places which took all day, stopped at Goathland on the way back home to get some helpful photos of some point rodding etc etc for my next project... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 You're most welcome Guys, trouble is we all think we have an idea where the rods and pulleys go but really we don't ? we all take notice of the locos and wagons etc etc but miss the important things ?... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 l have a nice 'Schools' kit to build next so l was thrilled to see 926 in lined Southern green pulling us back to Whitby, (l thought l would get some nice pictures when she runs round the train at the end of the line) but was really sick when they changed engines at Grosmount for a Diesel ? (l did manage to get some valve gear detail photos on Sunday)... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tender Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Getting on with the Adams O2 need to clean up before proceeding... Is that the Connoisseur kit George? Wouln't mind having a go at one of them myself if its not too difficult to build. What flux are you using? Edited April 24, 2018 by tender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ray H Posted April 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2018 George Your loco building skills seem brilliant. I wish I could get my kit building even 10% as clean as yours. I think Andy P's Speedy Gonzales acts with layout building have met their match with the speed of your loco building. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What flux are you using? Correct Ray and they are really nice kits to build, the flux l get from Hobby Holidays and is water based so you dont get awful smells like others...

Hello Ray, Thanks for the kind words, l think the secret is to clean up as you go, never leave it until its finished as you cant get into the little corners etc etc if you have all the other bits in the way...when l first met Bodgit twenty or more years ago l would visit once a week and he would have ANOTHER layout built, he has slowed down a lot from those days..not that you would notice Hahahaha 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focalplane Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 George I really like Jim McGeown's kits, having made the two LM locos and two guards vans. Sadly his range doesn't include any more locos that I would use. They were my first 7mm kits and were the perfect introduction. I would recommend that certain white metal castings be replaced with brass castings though. Jim's instructions are also second to none. And he rolls the boilers! Best wishes, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Bought a Billingtons D3 on the bring and buy stall and as there was about 30% missing l got it for a good price so it will make a good project for another day.... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack P Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Looking forward to seeing the progress of the D3 George. How's the O2 coming? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hello Jack, The O2 is slowly coming on but the D3 needs quite a bit of scratch building done as there are some major bits missing, but l enjoy a challenge, the parts look clean in the box but thats not how they were as they were very tarnished having been in the box for many years, but after a good clean up with vinegar-salt-and flour they cleaned up nicely...

Vinegar, salt and flour!! That's a new one for me, George? I use Viakal and a Gariflex block to bring brass back to life. Regards, Deano. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
