Well pleased with my 2, one chocolate/cream and one crimson. Ordered Sunday afternoon and arrived Tuesday morning. Both run extremely well without any running in needed. Noted the missing brown paint on the central doors, not a problem to add with some decal film and a bit of colour matching. Simon

I’ve been following your thread and enjoying your journey. A long time ago the club I was a member of built a layout with the Tewksbury shed area modelled reasonable accurately, one of the thing I did was to put together some wagons, and seeing your reference to S Healing & Son it’s one of those i did. The photo shows it and some of the others, a bit of modellers license used but do look convincing. Simon

I think we are all becoming feed up with these multiple adds all the time, it's definitely not enjoyable anymore. As this is more about the money now, do I want to stay, probably not. Simon

It's been a while but I've been thinking about how to manufacture the clack valves. Other than the hand wheels which took the longest to make everything else was straight forward. Next on the list is the injectors. Simon -
Vertical fiddle yard

This is the link to our build which should give the a better understanding of the reason we went for this design, we've not done much for a while but hopefully will see some some done in the future. Simon -

Fitting detachable etched brake gear to loco chassis
hobbyhorse replied to hayfield's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
That's correct which is useful when painting the more complex kits, also if any problems crop up with motors, pickups or anything else inside the frames. My photo shows the Nelson build which was complex with inside valve gear also fitted. Simon -

hobbyhorse replied to hayfield's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
My removable brake gear from a recent build, small hex bolts hold all in place using the holes in the top of the shoes. Simon -
Yes I volunteer at the railway, keep an eye on the WEB site. We have the classic car event tomorrow but with limited rides because of restrictions, but hopeful that our model railway show in August will have less restrictions. Simon
