I'm sure I can console myself with a very affordable C class
-
Funnily enough I was talking to Gary about that just the other day. It might be something I come back to in the future, maybe as a tender drive loco instead
-
If she had been available commercially I'd have had one too!
-
Brighton locos are more Gary's (Bluelightning) thing as I'm a dedicated Ashford girl, but I'm pretty sure he's always after ideas for new projects
-
Just got myself an Airfix 4F for under £20, so with a bit of bodging and a coat of paint that should be a C class for under £40! Just need a working R1 chassis and that should be all the locos required for Chart Sutton
-
It's more the LBSCs kind of thing, right?
-
Now I think about it, I quite fancy a pink R1
-
She could have had it sprayed pink!
-
Little bit of a clean up and it should be good Makes the Q1 look tiny!
-
Just a quick update on the diorama
-
Fancy doing a part exchange on an N2?
-
I had a look on Google and the T class is very close. The bunker on the J72 is a bit bigger, but we seem to be able to live with the R1 model having too large a bunker...
-
And I haven't been looking at J72s at all
-
Just bagged myself a GBL C class for a new project. I blame you completely @BlueLightning
-
Haha you're too kind. I wouldn't mind getting some Boughton Quarry transfers knocked up for the wagons at some point, and probably a few more wagons
-
Went over to Eastbourne today to annoy Gary (bluelightning) at the shop, where he kindly took a look at the Q1 and actually got it working! (Thanks Gary!) I also came away with a few items Signs and lamp posts for the diorama and some liquid gravity to give the Q1 a bit more front end weight Also picked up some wagons to put to use on Chart Sutton eventually, probably for ragstone from the local quarry
-
That's exactly what I'm going for. Just need to find an oil lamp for it
-
Here's wot I made during a certain RMWebber's YouTube stream tonight... Its absolutely tiny!
-
I might have a crack at building a brick bridge and clapboard shelter like the one down at Doleham, not far from me https://www.kentrail.org.uk/doleham_halt.htm I already have the materials to hand so this entire diorama hasn't cost anything extra so far. I might splash out on some hanging basket liner for the greenery surrounding the halt and maybe a couple of paint tester pots for extra ground coverage
-
Not sure if there was much Art Deco at rural halts
-
Quick update on the plank (the diorama, not me! ) The station building will be a small shelter with a path leading up to the overbridge which will be at the camera end Like most things I build it is held together with PVA glue and plenty of tape Pay day tomorrow so I can order myself a bridge and I'll try to remember to get a paper tomorrow to use as a hillside
-
Unfortunately with my way the ballast has to be placed perfectly
-
It's easier but not very good if you get a bit heavy handed
-
I just chucked my ballast on while the glue was still wet from laying the track. Obviously I won't do that when I actually build my layout
-
I deliberately bought N scale ballast as I find the OO stuff looks far too large
