    Looks a nice smooth result for the roof.

    They won't be praying for very long!

    Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

    Of course I've got them the wrong way round since 6028 was renamed as KGVI.

    Not a fan of the Duke of Windsor, John?

    As 6024 is, I believe, not far away from returning to service I wouldn't be surprised to see a re-numbering/naming exercise later this year.

    Of course, had Charles ascended the throne 60+ years earlier, we would probably have seen 6027 King Charles III.

    Well. If you've got an itch that needs scratching - it's got to be done.

    So presumably the J5 and H7 must have had a different method for ventilating the gas lamps? I notice in Neal's J5 photos there appears to be a small gap at the bottom of the clerestory sides. Could this be the ventilation?

    Good luck Paul! I think it's good to set targets as long as you keep in mind it's a hobby. It would be nice to meet the timescales but certainly not critical.

    Another feature with the sloping clerestory sides - they don't appear to have the oval shaped, louvred devices. Were these actually ventilators or just a decorative feature?
  12. Nick Gough
    And gas cylinders replaced with battery boxes and dynamo?

    The Wallingford branch was another line where auto trains were permitted to run without a guard. However, there were also daily mixed trains (auto coach & goods wagons), with a goods brake, when a guard would have been needed.

    The clerestory on the sleeper is similar to that on the surviving Dean H7 diner at Didcot: https://didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/article.php/166/no-9520-dean-composite-diner

    It's a pity that your fine work on the underframe is a bit less visible after painting.

    A bit foggy on departure, but half an hour later burned off into a warm sunny day through the mountains. In contrast, it's hissing down this morning in Franz Josef!

    8am, this morning, and almost time to leave Christchurch with today's TranzAlpine:
  18. Nick Gough
    Definitely getting the look of Aberystwyth shed there.
  19. Nick Gough
    And 'NO' on the Harrow one!
  20. Nick Gough
    Not sure where it is, but I might be there next week!
  21. Nick Gough
    Going well so far, thanks. We're catching the 'Northern Explorer' train tomorrow morning, in Hamilton, for the eight hour journey to Wellington.

    Going by the carriage livery that looks, to me, to be one of the 1987 Swindon-Gloucester runs? I seem to remember it poured with rain for much of the journey!

    Peco's instructions, on the bullhead long crossing packets, tell you to use N gauge insulated joiners. Can be fiddly to put on though, and easily come off the rails when manoeuvring the track into place on the layout.
  24. Nick Gough
    What types are you making Neal?
  25. Nick Gough
    On its way to the owner's new museum in the north of Scotland I suspect.
