It's a shame they couldn't modify the smokebox door to include an actual number plate and shed plate, rather than just printing them on.

Are you sure? Photo credit Ken Nunn collection This is Papyrus in 1935. 94HP boiler and 1928 corridor tender. There's more specific detail here: http://brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=S&id=600103060&loco=2750 Jamie

I’m surprised that the King and the K1 are still there.

Happy birthday Tony, Like many, I've learnt a lot from you. It was the Right-Track DVDs on loco building that got me hooked on serious model-making. Regards, Jamie

The 9F took its first service train by itself today instead of 29 and 65894. The loco roster seems to have gone to pot as someone on Facebook said that 2253 failed yesterday so I think 62005 has taken its place and 76079 has taken 62005's place.

Were you at the gala yesterday evening? I saw someone who looked like you but wasn’t sure

Looks like Repton failed as the 4MT seemed to be doing the Whitby shuttlesThe 9F made another appearance

There have certainly been some good departures this morning. I assume it’s very cold oop north today.

The Hall sounded magnificent pounding up the bank. There was certainly no shortage of power on this train And at Grosmont And a full house at Grosmont with 80136 and 1264 hiding in the background

The safety valves lifted twice- nearly deafened me!

Thanks Jonathan, In that case then my model's wrong for the period that I'm modelling but I can live with it. What number will yours be? Jamie
-
Ah right. In Sir’s article it gives a list of engines that towed the tender provided in the kit but it only gives the BR numbers. I worked from 3 photos for 3591 and all of them showed an asymmetrical wheelbase tender. I borrowed the green bible volume from a club member but I don’t remember it giving much detail on tender allocations. Jamie
-
I thought ten J6s towed the asymmetrical wheelbase tender? If they didn't then my engine is wrong but I'm not sure if I can be bothered to change it. Jamie

In the week I finally finished off my D&S NBR horsebox. Jamie

I've finally finished the NBR dia 110 horsebox Tony gave me. Sorry for the strange location of the pictures (and the finger in the last one). I was trying to get the model in the sun and it was late afternoon. Regards, Jamie

K1 62005 will be arriving at Grosmont this evening: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U10870/2019/09/16/advanced

Customising a RTR Brighton Atlantic

It looks like a ramsbottom safety valve to me. Jamie -
Prototype for everything corner.

Have some GWR mk3s but don’t model the south west? Well you can just stick em in a siding like at Ely.

The Nucast Q1 certainly isn't a kit that just falls together but it does at least have a milled brass chassis and not a white metal lump. Today I finished mine off. It definitely isn't as fine as the LRM kit but it looks like a Q1 so I'm pleased with it. Now that this is done, it means that I can finally get on with the horsebox Tony gave me earlier this year. Since I had a problem with the primer, I rather lost enthusiasm. Jamie
-
Today I finished off the Q1. I'm quite pleased with the weathering as I tried out a new technique using talcum powder to build up dirt on the underframes. I got the idea from The Loco Builder on YouTube but I think Martyn Welch recommends it as well. Sorry for the poor quality; I was just using my phone's zoom. Now I can finally finish off that horsebox that I started ages ago. Jamie
-
Thanks Manna. I haven’t been able to test the haulage capacity as the club’s layout can only hold 25 wagons in the fiddle yard but it handled those with ease and I could always pack the boiler with lead if need be. Jamie
-
In the week I primed the Q1 and today I finally got the motivation to put a first coat of black on. This was followed by a second coat this afternoon. Next I’ll paint the red bufferbeams and the cab detail. The moulded coal also needs to be painted. Jamie
