Yes their probably can't be a argument what with you being a administrator! Said with a big grin on my face stir, stir, stir..............................banned ? otherwise would have put forward Welsh Highland on a sunny day in a open coach

Well as the roofs started out white even though the paint might not be the best for use on iron, if ?it was the same paint, knowing the great western I suspect the main reason for it even if it is a bit mad painting something white which is going to get dirty is"...............great western standardisation not going to change my dirty roofs what ever you say as I have a few white roofs on other wagons, and a whole train of them you'd look mad

Yes but ! no but ! Which religion are you following? The one by Russell? the one by Atkins Beard, and Hyde or the one most likely worshiped gwr iron minks hrms? All of which I have or the dirty roof religion I follow yea ! My 500th post !

Yes see that in the past but ! having helped replaced canvas roofs on preserved stock in the past, slapping layers of white paint onto the canvas to seal it, it wasn't the sort of paint that would be any good to stick to a metal sheet roof, clothes yes ! Putting The proviso in ( not that we could use whitelead anymore ) Haveing seen what can be done to preserved stock (Wallpapered black five ! ) I don't take modern photos as much of a accurate guide to what was done in the past and being involved in building conservation and restoration for Good part of my past life (cleaning and paint removal ) can't believe a unsuitable paint would be put on the metal roof of a van not that that links really tells you what sort of paint was used with no mention of iron roofs not that I clame to be a expert on the GWRs practice just experienced with paint on loads of NT buildings and English heritage buildings

I have pondered this as well, and my reason for doubting white is that the white comes from the white wash/paint used to weatherproof /seal the canvas covering over a wooden roof, surly a metal roof would not require this treatment? All bit academic as my roofs are dirty anyway!

However it's spelt it's no longer in nitomors which is why it's not so effective.

It isn't as good as it used to be! And that's because the nasty stuff (methlinechloride) has been removed but still treat it with respect

Save that one up for the bank holiday weekend at the end of August! When Burnham train show is on

Yep I second that wookey hole can absorb a day, bit expensive you think at first but when you get a full day out of it it's not so bad recommend the circus school performance that's inc in the price, cheddar is not just cheese! But can absorb a afternoon, wells will keep anyone occupied never mind a train show at the same time,I am confident once your other half has been around Wells you will have no trouble comeing back next year

Well I didn't see you ! Must have been walking about to busy looking at the trade stands, managed to resist the green O2 but not the collection of S6 fish fans and mink Cs from Ian's Kirk on ray heard's stand, most disappointing thing ..........NO sheep ! or cats! Tut tut letting your daughter down ....On mutton I mean how can you have mutton without sheep!

Judging by the amount of unbuilt kits of the open C that can still be found at toy fairs and shows all these years later ratio worked the moulds hard !

Going off topic as well I can remember British Railways steam it was only thirty years ago ,,or have you forgotten the vale of rheidol ! British Rail steam in rail blue with arrows doesn't matter that it was narrow gauge it was still steam on British rail. Back on about N7 it does surprise me that I haven't Seen pages of moaning about this and that being totally wrong, yea! Keep going in that direction Oxford very happy with my gray thing that I bought as I couldn't wait for a LNER black one

Hold on melmerby and others ! Just minutes after my last post I tried again just to check I wasn't going mad, ......yes I am I noticed right at the bottom of the page a get round this in the smallest print at the bottom of the page so thanks got their in the end

Melmerby useing a I pad all I get is a get the sign up to Allibaba page not a normal web page I don't know why this is or what your useing but I can't go any further to get to your normal web page? Still none the wiser what this refers to so my question still stands

Thanks for the link sounds interesting.....BUT not going to sign up to Alliebaba to find out any one please give us a clue ?

On my to do pile are two 2-4-0 kits and one 4-4-0 , both have the later part brass chassis and I have a perseverance chassis for the other, Romford wheels to replace ones supplied await use.djh sixty to one gearboxes, and stashed away Little mashimas ready to go , no molded on handrails to be seen missing ingredient?.............time

Haveing dug out the Hobbytime mink F kit and looked and tried the door framing on the Damo it would be a perfect fit, have thought over night how to make a silicone mold and cast up a couple of doors for the Damo as I can't afford to scrap the mink F kit by pinching the doors off it. But just had a brilliant thought. At railwells modelU will be their where I can get the doors scanned and printed hopefully! If it's a goer might get more than one pair done! Just got to wait till August

Aaah yes apologies No46 think (well know) I called you in early when I should have called 81C for a report, but it's looking like I am going to find out and tell or suggest a way to do it .....might go quite over hear now!

O ! Poo, this means I am going to have to find my own answer as to how to do the doors, roll on railwells for a rummage amongst the trade stands....... good luck with the move .......I am still not sorted layout and where did that go wise,four and half years after moving

Thanks Mr Isherwood a letter will going in your direction toot sweet graham

Thank you for up dating us on your wagons Yorkshire. and for the details of where your CO came from, can you remember how many CO were on the transfer sheet as I need ten of them ! Due to to much kit building over the spring time awaiting guests comeing back in mice little works train now built up from P17-P23 Cambrian sleeper wagons and a Ballest Brake van just awaiting a few COs fitted to Finnish the train

Thanks your right reverend !(if I remember right that's how you address a bishop! I had found this one after continuing my hunt after posting this morning, but I think I will have to contact mr Isherwood as these transfers cover BR liveries and not GWR as required hopefully though as the CO lasted into BR some might be on their, fingers crossed

Resurrecting a old topic. I was doing some searching on these Ballest wagons as I am also trying to find some CO transfers, now in your post you wonder what CO is for ? Now in the time lap you have probably found out it's simply COnstruction.. now back to looking for these transfers on the web

Come in No46 ! Haveing picked up a parkside Python at a swapmeet, with such a crap tar brush weathering job done on it,including fogged glazing (Glue !) I decided to do a asmo with it have replaced the sides with some right sized planked plasticard that I had in stock (shock horror) i now need to do the doors, well not now! But soon I would just like some thoughts on what to buy at railwells in August to do the doors with I do have some stick on white metal doors from a Hobbytime mink F .....BUT then I will need doors for the mink F ! If only mainly trains still existed bound to have something and were only walking distance away!

Quote I realise that people do, but they appear to be serial swindlers and ne’er-do-wells. I think DJ is not necessarily of this type, just a dreamer out of his depth.  Quote I remain to be convinced. i to am of the under funded dreamer rather than swindler thought's on DJ if he was a swindler nothing would have been produced no J94s of any kind you don't wast time actuly makeing something you go for the kill on say crowdfunding and run.
