I do like BGman’s tower.  It has less mass than the Abbotsbury mock up (which is a lovely prototype but too big to between tracks).

Perhaps on the other side of the loco release?  

I think the new trees improve the hedgerow.  I also like the Warren in the bank.

Dave,

Merry Xmas!

Duncan

Dave,

Lovely work and excellent dry brushing.

Duncan

What do you thin the copydex with?

Duncan

My research problem is the wagon registers or rather the fact that they are split between the London and York. London research trips are feasible and York is not. And it seems the low numbers are in York so of course they are the ones I need a look at!

I find a comfort-of sorts- that I’m not alone struggling to find time for modelling! But that said I’m sorry I’ve added to your research burden!

Hi Mike,

I must have misread an earlier post about these composites being pictured at the BG dump at Swindon in ‘92...a shame because I was going to beg and grovel in the hope you might take pity on a fellow novice BGer and do me one in chocolate and cream for Nampara! The speed I’m building the track and goods wagons I’ll never have time to build the coaches (and there’s the problem of 3 square rigged ships for the layout too and all supposed to be ready for next May - in my dreams!!!)

Duncan

Beautiful.

Duncan

Lovely work, Mike. Were these coaches downgraded to 3rds by the end of the broad gauge?

Regards

Duncan

As someone experimenting with BG in em gauge, your work is a real inspiration.

Duncan

Lovely work!

Duncan

They look fantastic.

Duncan

Very impressive! Looking forward to the next update.

Duncan

Thanks!

Lovely work! Keep it up.

Duncan

I'm going to cheat (well sort of ) and go for 1891 as my BG/ mixed gauge period!

Duncan

Mike,

Your foray into BG has inspired me to take the plunge, so do please keep plugging away. I'm building my first BG wagon at the moment and hopefully I'll do an update on my blog soon.

All the best

Duncan

Agreed!

A very informative entry. Many thanks!

Your modelling and blog is a sore temptation to try BG myself.

Duncan

Excellent work and a very interesting prototype. I'll be following your progress with the chassis closely.

Duncan

Very nice.

In the finest RMweb tradition of being wise after the event, I think you should have checked it at each stage...

Maybe with that 20/20 hindsight I should move to P4?

Hi Mikkel,

Thanks.

Well, the body moulding by Hornby is lovely, and will look great lined out.  I wouldn't say lots of progress but problems are being overcome and hopefully things will go a bit smoother now.
