  1. I have seen footage of them tarpaulined, usually amongst other 5 plank and open wagons, id imagine because they never had enough of these available at the time. like here... but hard to capture, the second wagon was one of the longer stretched type, the rest where normal open wagons. I dont think it would be minerals in them, moreso boxed or palleted merchandise.
  2. tarpaulined. http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidwf2009/5538004852/in/set-72157626170100071 dont often see this modelled
  3. really nice, prototype artistic shots are welcome too.. http://www.flickr.co...N02/3152643525/ and shots of them loading and unloading are also interesting http://incebps.org.u...gon_Tippler.JPG
  4. nice prototype shot http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrt1053.htm
  5. thought we could have a thread dedicated to an old favourite nothing shouts that 1950s-60s era to me more than those grey rusty wagons, which lived on well into the 1980s as fitted wagons. so, show us your models. tell us your weathering techniques, any make, any scale , any livery, work in progresses, unfitted or fitted. show us links or photos of the real thing. Ill kick it off with an old shot of a mix of some airfix and parkside dundas ones..
  6. the buffers should have a circular rivetted plate on the side of the buffer and I still cant see how theyve modelled the 2 oval silencers on the roof.
  7. every year I get more interested in railways model and real when the weather is nice, when its cold I cant be bothered

  8. guys, if anyone can help with good close up pics of the roofs, roof hinges, exhausts etc, and also the handrails id be very greatfull cheers Mike
  9. Is there any chance they could steam her while she is over there or is it oily rags in the smoke box?
  10. more info here http://www.heritagerailway.co.uk/news/auf-wiedersehen-mallard
  11. id say the black n white one. Im sure you'll have a photo of the real thing, but theres something about that level of weathering on an early emblem express loco that doesnt sit right in my head, if it where later emblem yes. not saying its wrong it just to me it doesnt tally with what ive been brought to expect how they where treated at certain times.
  12. Hi Ron work looks fantastic, huge amount of work. can I ask why you chose brick paper over brick plasticard?
  13. John Holden's Liverpool Lime street, only thing I did was take the photo, pic been seen on rmweb before,but thought id put it in here.
  14. the bishops finger is going down to easy

  15. need to do springs like that for my cobo, interesting stuff
  16. whilst disapointed with the result and performance, nice goal by torres, its still very early days. appointment of Steve Clark is a good one I think. side needs strengthening and as Bob Paisley once said, the games not about managers really, its about players. where told he couldnt look at any players until after the blackpool game as there hasnt been time, see what happens soon
  17. happiest and proudest Ive been in ages, my hero is back, just hearing him in press conferences, he's fantastic, such a great motivator,speaker all round manager. for those who forgot how great this man was or are too young to have seen him, as a player and a manager, you'll soon be reminded, Mike
  18. love the weathering on the 47 and 20 Brian have you replaced the BR symbol on the 47? ill be getting some of those leds for my 40, dont like normal leds and the ones in Heljans locos, far too bright and unrealistic cheers Mike
