    That reminds me of the butcher who sat on the bacon slicer - and got behind with his orders !

    I’m relieved to see the Dean cab in situ- it looks really good. The real challenge will be to extend the sides under your new full roof. I wish Mlle Stoker was as helpful with the hobby as Miss RH is . She did dismantle a couple of coaches once - but that was in anger !!

    Happy Christmas ! And may we leave behind the dags of 2022 and look forward to the colours of SECR IN 2023.

    I looked forward to the Goon Show and Humphrey Littleton’s Jazz Club on my Crystal Set wireless.

    Excellent copper pipe and brass work Rob, better than any RTR efforts, those pipes look real !
  6. Limpley Stoker
    Yes please, but I’m not sitting outside in this weather. You’ve saved some excellent new viewpoints to keep us entertained in your absence!

    I’m liking the bay window set back under the sturdy balcony.

    Well, that’s a relief - 530 will run again and look splendid!
  9. Limpley Stoker
    Oh the suspense - will the Dean cab fit - or is the 517 project heading for the Room of Doom ?
  10. Limpley Stoker
    Indeed lucky with the bunker, I don’t suppose you have the keeper plate and external brake rods from one of your donor 57xx ‘s to fettle for this project?

    Having to choose between heating and Eton

    I feel sorry for the mangled brake pipe.

    It’s the meandering that’s such a draw- I’ve learnt a lot of useful stuff and benefitted from the counselling sessions and have been cheered up no end! Now is that a sanding box beneath the domed lid behind the bulkhead and tap?

    Nice detail- I bet a lot of firemen have barked their shins on that valve over the years.
  15. Limpley Stoker
    Is the upright member attached to the inside of the verandah end a lamp bracket ?

    Have a great holiday- we’ll get over it, but don’t leave the squadron leader up there!

    How about stiff brush bristles for beanpoles - but @KNP will know best.

    I would find it a bit of a challenge to fold such a thin edge neatly along the whole footboard, but I’m sure with your wealth of engineering experience you will have a cunning plan. I’m enjoying your 517 project, I had been planning to convert my aging Airfix 14xx but as my modelling years are limited I’ll crack on with the scenery for Limpley Stoke and buy a railmotor next year. I hope the Dean cab idea works out .
  19. Limpley Stoker
    That Dean cab looks a brilliant wheeze- nobody would notice the width discrepancy..
  20. Limpley Stoker
    I just said blow the bloody doors off! Are you following this conversion ?
  21. Limpley Stoker
    Limpley Stoke next stop ! The quarter / half lights look much better when the interior is illuminated. We have been spared firebox glow I think !

    Lovely load of coal for the coaling stage, I hadn’t noticed that before- real coal obviously. That’s a big carbon wagonprint.
  23. Limpley Stoker
    I posted prematurely so apart from welcoming the B set here’ is a disguised Hornby Hall
  24. Limpley Stoker
    Wow ! That’s cheered me up - it makes up for the Hoover ,
  25. Limpley Stoker
    I had similar thoughts but I was reassured by the side window of the scammell scarab behind the hut.
