    Has a length of 'O' gauge track, does that mean I'm now a bona-fide 'O' modeller?

      I keep toying with the idea of making an N gauge Ivor but not sure if I could manage it.

  10. Coldgunner

    If buying a nice rtr loco is winning the 100m, is building a kit loco like winning a marathon?

    1. davefrk

      davefrk

      Oh yes.

  13. Coldgunner

    Hmm, to build a 7mm display plank first, or a loco and rolling stock? Chicken and egg scenario...

      And some cheese!

       

      I'd go plank then rolling stock.

      The egg always came first, there was never any doubt. Rolling stock, then plank.

  14. Coldgunner

    Been watching some material on kit building/painting. Really want to try 7mm...

      Nice video. Do you know why they were shunting 60008 around?

    3. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      I think it may be some kind of inspection. There was a lot of filming going on too.

  16. Coldgunner

    401 snaps taken at Shildon and Darlington yesterday, best get uploading!

  17. Coldgunner

    Shildon was brilliant! The A4's look fab!

  18. Coldgunner

    Off to Shildon NRM today. Good stuff!

    1. davefrk

      davefrk

      Yep, went Tuesday, saw the A4s. Why oh why do Americans like to paint things in garish colours, Dwights nameplate could have been done by MacDonalds...

    The Titfield Thunderbolt, a 60 year old film that will never age.

    Updated the layout thread, layout will be getting some proper attention soon.

  22. Coldgunner

    Is so excited. Get a trip to Shildon on Thursday to see 60008 and 60010. Never thought I'd be bagging those so soon. One more A4 to bag after that, 60009.

      Its something I'd like to see as I haven't seen 60009 (in completed form anyway as I saw its frames at Bridgnorth) and haven't seen 60008 and 60010. Sadly its a 4 and a bit hour train journey to Shildon for me to see them.

    4. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      I am keen to see 8 and 10 before rstoration commences. Especially '10 as she is like 46235 as its a genuine crewe paintjob that will soon disappear.

  23. Coldgunner

    A very early morning, a reasonably late night. I'm gonna sleep tomorrow!

  24. Coldgunner

    Been offered a job!!! Think a beginners O gauge kit might be in the offering!
