Northern Maiden

Just catching up with your thread, Dave.. that Baldwin is a lovely piece of modelling

Nice work on the priory tunnel area, very nice

Nice layout  .. and the coffee stirrer fence looks great.

Cracking photo...  The wee chap by the (Bedford?) van seems to look non too pleased (perhaps he's the one who has to clean out the coaching stock afterwards

Just going through the latest batch of pics, lovely observation in the fungi on the tree bark and the rabbit hiding in the roots

Lovely layout with lots of nicely observed wee details (like the inlaid steps to the track on the platform sides) and the well-tended station garden.

This is galloping along at a great pace, you seem to have got loads done over the festive period.    Making me feel rather guilty that I can't seem to get any steam (no pun intended) under my new project ... the bits of which are sitting in the corner of the workroom balefully glaring at me :0)

Jaz, Kal wishing you and yours a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Lovely modelling there Shaun.

Well as you're asking Dave,  I'd like to see the following in "00"

• Swindon Cross Country 120 DMU
•  
• Swindon InterCity 126 DMU
•  
• Caley Jumbo

and dare I say an...NBL 29

Is it not just as straightforward as the list Paul? BR Green (no warning panel) 21s with discs, and 29s (in three flavours) with route indicators - or am I missing something because the it seems correct?

 

Class 21

• D1001a D6112 BR Green no yellow warning panel
  
• D1001b D6134 BR Green no yellow warning panel
  
• D1001c D6150 BR Green no yellow warning panel
  

Class 29

• D1002a D6130 BR Green full yellow warning panel
  
• D1002b D6114 BR Green small yellow warning panel
  
• D1002c D6100 BR Blue full yellow warning panel
  

Hopefully a Class 21 with GSYP will follow in due course - sales permitting!

My purse was getting hit for 2 of these...now its looking like 3!

Hi guys,

 

i hope to be able to post the cad/cam of the class 29 here relatively soon.

cheers

Dave

Cheers Dave Looking forward to seeing those.

Was wondering the same thing myself. Given the calibre of the 22 and other recent releases I think it'll be worth the wait though

I'm just delighted to see Dunwoody again - and the naughty-but-nice Sad-Eyes on the mineral job!

Thanks gents.

Class 126 DMU's worked out of Ayr in the late 60's in BSYP and there are also pics of Metro Cammell 101s at various locations in Scotland running in this livery.

Hows about a lovely 303 Emu in Caledonian Blue with SYP ...does that count?

Here's a little something for the Class 29 database.

Sulzer type2 shunting timber wagons in the yard....

Hi

 

I am considering attempting to scratchbuild some timber P wagon in 00 scale probably from a parkside dundas plate wagon kit.

These wagons appear to be camera shy! Does anyone know of any good images of these wagons in books/magazines. Only found a few so far such as one in Don Rowlands 'British rail wagons' book. No luck on Paul Bartletts excellant wagon website unfortunately.

Hi Toby

I actually scratched a few of these wagons (3 early versions and 2 late) for my layout. The basis of my scratchbuilds were the parkside plate wagoins but to be honest only the soulbars were of use and even then you'll need to take off the w-irons/wheel bearings. You can contact parkside and ask for just the black sprues to be sent to you. I fitted whitemetal roller bearings connected to compensated units for the wheel assembies and added sprung oleo buffers.

There's a set of works drawings for the late version wagon in the Model Railway Constructor 1983 Annual which can still be found online.

Here's a pic of of the early variant Timber P wagons that I made....
