I'm with you on the warwickshirerailways.com site. I have lost many hours going through their pages.

Hi Jock 67B

Post your question in the forum help area, I'm sure you will get answers there.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

You are right, there are many knowledgeable people using this site that, I am sure will be able to offer you advice.

I think you would be better posting your question somewhere like this though,

http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/forum/25-modelling-questions-help-and-tips/

so you get a better response.

Good luck

Think Scanman is right about Evergreen being the only one http://www.evergreenscalemodels.com/Sheets.htm#Board%20&%20Batten

Looks to me like they couldn't think of anything else to get the apprentice to do.

Looks like a lot of work has gone into the TT, nice job. What did you use for the bearing faces?

Brilliant reminder of my early years, a few of the captions say "where are they now". I know where one is, I was a very junior visitor on odd occasions. No claim to any practical input, just inspiring times during my formative years. Used to love cycling down to sholing station, a great clubroom, if I remember correctly a bit cramped at times. Was it the N gauge, or the junior section that was tucked away at the far end of the building, my memory fails me.

Amazing how much you forget about the things you have forgotten.

Happy Days.

Thanks for posting the pics.

Hi John

Always good to see your next entry, sadly it is only your modesty that allows the superior van comment, as I expected I am somewhat behind with regard to completing my offering. Since the pick I have managed to get the underframe fitted but not got round to the NE axle boxes and springs etc.

Good to see your progress though.

All the best

Hi Mikkel

Nice comparison, I intend going down the C&L chair glued to ply construction method in EM. I made up some short track panels as a tryout some nine months or so ago and they have been subjected to being moved around the house as I have been decorating room after room, their storage places have been far from ideal. Only damage sustained so far was a couple of chairs came unstuck. The damage was probably a short fall in my skills as opposed to the components. A point I don't think raised yet probably as it is a question of construction as opposed to appearance, is it wise to stain the sleepers first or does this give the adhesive problems, I stained mine first with a blend of different coloured water based wood stains which seems to work fine, just wandered if there are any other thoughts on the matter.

Thanks for posting the comparison

All the best

Nice one John, looking forward to seeing it in action. . What are you going to do with the old fiddle yard . Catch up next Wednesday .

Hi P and S

Compliments on Board MK||. One thing for sure those screw joints aren't going to fall apart. Couldn't agree more with Trebor on the cross bracing comment though.

All the best

Martin

Well done John.

I had been holding my breath (except when I was drinking my 6X on Wednesday).

Ah the fresh air, relief at last.

Oh, like the 06 by the way.

See you soon.
