  6. Forgive me if I have missed something but is there a way to get the "Digest" mails delivered in condensed form - as one can do with activity streams? I'd just prefer a list of the streams that have been upadted and that I should look at rather than all of the posts in each stream being replicated. It would reduce outgoing mail size for the server as well! Tony

  12. Hi Dave Running very sweetly and I will now weather it. I'll see if some more lead will go in easily - the tender is also incredibly light and could do with some but as you say, it may not be easy to get it in there without disturbing it too much. Best wishes Tony
  13. Thanks Peter I had not seen this announcement which is interesting; I may well order one but I do have a K10 in my collection - following an epic build by DLT from a dreadful old kit (which you may have seen): You can see the build on DLT's thread starting at: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/2359-dlts-sr-locos-adams-t6-by-jidenco/?p=2966316 Tony
  14. I spent a very enjoyable day with Mick Bonwick earlier in the week and managed to weather another four locos with a bit of his excellent guidance & help! Here are the results - 1st a fairly dirty WD: The intention is that this will haul a continental freight train as I have a picture of a WD doing exactly that in about 1946: My usual camera has died and so I took these with the camera in my phone, and for once I can say that the real thing is better than the image! I also wanted to lightly weather a trio of spam cans - Battle of Britain locos to be precise - and for each of these to have subtly different levels of weathering; for the "group" pictures I have added a fourth, slightly grimier, loco: Yes, the differences are so subtle that you can't see them! So here is each loco in turn: First is no.21C162 '17 Squadron' which has had a shiny finish added and only the slightest weathering of the underframe and roof; next up is no.21C160 '25 Squadron' which has half as much shine added, plus a little more weathering: Third is no.21C158 'Sir Frederick Pile' which has no sheen added, and a light weathering on the sides, as well as rather more on the underframe and roof: (Hmm, the camera highlights my renumbering which looks a bit weak on that one!) In the group pictures they are joined by no.21C168 'Kenley' which I gave rather heavier treatment a little ago - somehow I find that easier than being subtle! A big thank you to Mick for his continued guidance! By complete contrast, T6 no.684 returned today from "extensive rebuilding" at the DLT works and now actually runs under its own power! Another big thank you to DLT - I had certainly written this loco off as a complete disaster, but will now add a crew and some weathering so that it can join the operational fleet. Tony
  15. Yes I think that would ruin an otherwise great livery!
