I’ve a spare set of plates for ‘Ring Haw’ you’re welcome to if you can provide the 16” Hunslet to put them on.

 

In a historical context, I might also have a set of ‘Colwyn’ plates.

I would most definitely appreciate a set of nameplates for Ring Haw, the Hunslett is on my wishlist for my Birthday in march. Please DM me whenever possible.

Right, goods stock:

The formation of the rake seems to have changed over the years but these are vehicles which often feature:

BR ex-LMS 20t brake van     This could be made from a Hornby item with a ballast box                                                                 added below the solebar

SR 25t pill box brake van     Bachmann item that just needs the sand boxes taking off each end

BR 12t pipe wagon                Bachmann item with a tarpaulin over the top

LMS 12t tank wagon             Bachmann item reliveried

GWR Fruit D                           Dapol item renumbered

BR 16t mineral wagon         Bachmann renumbered

BR conflat with Bird's Eye container     Bachmann renumbered and container reliveried

GWR Loriot N lowmac         I'm not sure about this vehicle; I've looked at pictures of Loriot Ns                                                    and they look nothing like the vehicle on the NNR. For my version                                                    I'll chop up a Dapol lowmac kit

LMS plate wagon                 Bachmann reliveried

Jamie

Hello there!

I look forward to seeing your model of the NNR, and comparing our two takes on the same subject. I'd be happy to do a collaboration with you at some point regarding stock if your interested. 

I would love any details you have of the goods fleet. Every piece of information is appreciated!

stay tuned all this week as i will be highlighting a new Project most days. 

Regards,

Thanks Al, I love nice feedback... yes that is a bleinhim, all built myself from airfix kits. I currently have 2 spitfires, a Bolton Paul defiant, a hurricane  and a bleinhim. The lights are not permentant, but little twist candlelight that I just stick to the roofs of the buildings with some good old blue tack, as I couldn't be asked to wire them up, and I want all buildings removable for the sake of transit. Theres been some big changes with the layout of late, I might post an update... its not pretty to say the least... can you think of any constructive criticism that I can keep in mind? Cheers, Brad.

Little update al, I've taken the photos, but Both my PC and laptop are out of action for the while, as something went wrong with the extension cord connecting them all together. I'm currently on my iPad, but unfortunately you can't plug a USB into one!!

Seems like everything's against me at the moment.

I will try and take my camera with me into school tommorow, but it's a pain in the ass to do it at school, as RMweb is blocked! The cheek of it.

So I'm also going to have to download them to my school computer, then email them to my apple account, and hopefully be able to put the photos strait from the emails to the website. Hopefully.

All going well, they should be up by Tuesday night. Notice I said .... should...

I'm having to juggle this, my GCSE maths test on Tuesday, which is the difference between me sitting higher or lower paper, and a lot of other stuff.

Phew.

Busy.

Hope this answers anyone's queries

Brad.

thanks Al, its always nice to hear comments like yours. im hoping to squezze in time (between GCSE Revison) on saturday for a photoshoot.

cheers,

Brad.

I know RAF Warmwell was a real place, as I spent a few days researching the site. I finely decided I don't want to limit myself to modelling a real site, so I haven't, I've just used the name. I have been thinking though, I might use the spitfire registrations that were assigned to RAF Warmwell... PR __ (Eg. PR O,PR E,PR D) 

Thanks for commenting,

Brad.
