Danielson's shay no 3

Dan, Jims previous post says he was going from Bescot to Hinksey, which is between Didcot and Oxford.

I should really learn to read more Scott

They are some great pictures big jim where are you going with the train

I think your class 37 is brilliant together with the combined effort

with tour Dad on the wagons looking forward to more pictures of the crane

may I ask whose decals did you use for the 37

David Wexford

Thanks for your comment on the class 37 I used r3sprays for the decals really good service and his decals are really good quilaty

without being a party pooper why in your first post did you make out that you went home and built the wagons yourself then futher into the thread you say that all the work has been done by other people?

 

did you actually respray the 37 yourself or is it someone elses work, i'm just a bit confused!

 

(great looking wagons and 37 whoever did them!!)

Well it was myself and my dad that day who went to look at the wagons and it was my dad and myself who scratch built them.

I then weathered the oca wagon and airbrushed the wagons yellow and black

In regards to the class 37 that is all my own work from start to finish just ask people on here like pitbull and Santans goldfish they will tell you I do all my own work

Away from point carrying wagons for a moment I have finished my total respray of a colas class 37

You have done a top job on them wagons neil they would look right at home on glebe road.

Neil didn't scratch build them my dad did and he is also scratch building the kirow crane and support kfa wagons to go with the rest of the train

Dan

Well quick update the two kfa support wagons are almost finished that go with the crane then it's a case of just finishing up with a fees bits but will post some pictures soon

Seeing your dad's epic skill there with the plasticard making the frames, could you smile at him ever so nicely and see if he would be willing to have a go at making the side frames for the mesh on my cartic 4 sets? It's not really an entertaining quick job, very repetitive, so he can feel free to say no to that (Tried ordering some from Intercity Models last year but to no avail) but tell him i'll bbq him a very nice steak

Well matt I am sure if you was to give him a few sweet text messages I am sure he would help you out

What the kirow crane should look like when finished

Don't know how I missed this, top stuff Mick and Dan. High 5!

Thanks matt high 5

Hi mick

The lifting beam carrier was made from evergreen styrene 6:3 x 6:3mm and the cross beams cut out of 60 thou plasticard
