I'm getting sorely tempted now. If SWMBO asks, what's O Gauge?

Must... resist... O Gauge...

Eveleigh Creations - Great Eastern 4 & 6-Wheel Coaches
NXEA! replied to Edwardian's topic in Smaller Suppliers
I'm probably late to the party, but if the 4-wheelers sell, then I would definitely be interested in a couple of Holden 6-wheelers. -
More warm baps for Mr Lockhart then?
-
What a long week. Looking forward to having some time to myself tonight. Need to flick through RMWeb and get my modelling mojo back!
-
I want a Bachman Warship all of a sudden, despite them not falling into either of my main modelling interests. Must stop looking at photos of them in grotty BR blue...

It was 20 years ago today, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play

Damn that DIY list... luckily for me I tend to get out of doing DIY, I'm usually saddled with a good proportion of the household chores instead! Case in point being tonight, only just sat down... And only one child for me. At the moment... Thanks for the kind comment.

Martyn, Big shame that Pott Row is going to the big engine shed in the sky, it's one of my favourite layouts on here and of a subject not usually modelled to boot. If you can find somewhere to dismantle it and store it, do, it's too good a layout to go to the tip! It's been a big inspiration for me to have a crack at something, and to try new techniques and ways of modelling. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

Hi Scott and Steve, Thanks for your interest. Scott, I'm sure I mentioned fiddle yards above, but I'm thinking cassettes. I have devised a crude way of joining them electrically, I just need to build them now! Steve, thanks for the kind comments. As you can probably see, I haven't made any progress recently, and that's down to a few things - things are tight financially, work is busy and I've lost my mojo a little bit, however seeing more interest in Docking Road Junction definitely encourages me to make some more progress on it. Lets see!

Why have I only just discovered Railway Bylines?

Cracking choice, and they will be doing 67322 to boot! I'll be having one.

Model Rail Scotland - Glasgow 2018 - New Announcment
NXEA! replied to Oliver Rails's topic in Rails of Sheffield
I've said it elsewhere on the forum, I'll say it again. A J69? Small, cute, and they wore some colourful liveries in GER Blue both original and BR versions, BR/LNER Apple green, and of course the obligatory LNER/BR Black. And some made it to Scotland too! -
Thank you Roger, it's very obvious now you've pointed it out.
-
Agreed Tod, I guess you could argue that the differences if restricted to a remembering only job wouldn't be that noticeable. I knew of different valve arrangements on D16/3's, but I can't say I'd noticed concave and convex frames until now. But then the purist in me says that it should be an accurate representation where possible. Decisions decisions!
-
Thanks Gents, sounds like 62614 is off unfortunately. What was the difference in reversing rod, Gilwell?
-
Me again, I have another detailing question for anyone who can advise me. I'm rather taken with Hornby's release of 8900 in Apple Green, however it is out of my time period. Thoughts turned to remembering as either 2614 in post-war condition and Gill Sans font, which it carried into BR days up until November 1949, or as 62614 which stayed in green until 1952. My question is, in BR condition as both 2614/62614, was the lining out on the boiler, tender and frames the same as depicted on 8900? And were there any other differences such as valves which would preclude renumbering? I'd be grateful for an answer if anyone knows.
-
Cor, that looks lovely! Can't wait to see decorated samples.
-
I might have misunderstood the suggestions in this thread, but I thought the release will be 4-doors in brown? Would be grateful if you could clear this up Charlie!
-
Ah cr*p, not my era or location at all, but I'm going to have to get a Skipper I think.
-
Snow over here in Norfolk. Very cosy.
-
I've never been a dog person, absolutely hate them. So why do I want a Mini Schnauzer all of a sudden?

A small update... The lid, and the lighting for the fascia has now been fitted and glued in place. The lighting is some self-adhesive flexible LED strip lighting in warm white. I am happy with it, but unfortunately there is a little shadowing at the front of the layout in certain light. Its not noticeable when there's daylight coming through, however thought has turned to perhaps somehow providing an additional fluorescent tube to further light the front of the scene to avoid this. The fascia has been painted sage green for it to blend in nicely with the surrounding bedroom furniture - more aesthetically pleasing than black or bare wood. It's nice to have the layout looking like a layout rather than a plank. It's small and compact, but i'm happy with it. Below are a few photos taken with my new J11 - I'm aware its kind of off-region, but they did venture into East Anglia, and for £50 including DCC Chip, I couldn't resist! It'll need backdating with an early crest. And finally two overall views: As I said in my last post, next task will be the fiddle yards. That's all for now.
