    Thanks for all the pics, a great and busy exhibition!

    Original Airfix 20t Brake Van kit built straight out of the box - bar handrails and replaced chimney.

    33025 ‘Sultan’ runs around its train of vans at Frampton.

    HST substitution set at 07:22 - with gen van and barrier coach at rear?

    Bike gear cable is finer than bike brake cable…can be bent and negotiated with ease.

    I was watching the attached video and noticed an odd - presumably - not ISO container. It appears to be Esso branded but not of a style I’ve seen before or remember from days of old…does anyone have any more details particularly what it was used for? A internet search drew a blank… Image source at 6:31…

    if you contact the OP for the thread (Dan) they’ll be able to help you. Thats it for another year, home packed up and away. Frampton performed effortlessly for another year. A first for this year was an electrical short which whilst easily found, has posed questions as to why…and why now? A quick exhibition fix has remedied the problem👍🏼, although a longer term solution will be required. Thanks all for organising the show, see you next year.

    The wagon works is currently open in preparation for the weekend…

    ‘Class 37 loco 9Z09, 40 dogfish of ballast, ploughvan…’ 40?!….40 dogfish?!😳 Presumably thats not a single working and a trip of eg 10 x wagons, four times?

    I’ve intentionally noted twice it’s indicative and a ‘guide’ and not wholly accurate…however in situations where there is an absence of any detailed guide or historical record then unless you want to take a wild punt, its there for your own personal use so fill your boots… I don’t need to ask it to anything thanks👍

    In the absence of any records or original paint diagrams, it’s a useful tool to provide an indicative coloring. if you pushed the image through three different AI tools it’ll highlight the consistency and inconsistencies between the tools and provide a fairly reasonable representation.

    AI comes up with these results…as an indicative guide…

    Attended yesterday and given the quantity of cars in the field, it was ok…unless it rains. One thing to note however - the further you are directed to the back it gets quite bumpy so watch your front bumpers and underside trays. Also it’s evidently a dog walking field so watch your feet…

    Powder - It’s brilliant stuff and you’ll find a multitude of uses for it👍🏼

    Wasn’t this the only loco to carry the Roundel Railfreight ‘General’ totem?

    Hi all… This video popped up in my recommendations and in the first min the bin liner brake van caught my eye… I know in the past the principle was trialed and an example exists in the NRM, but I always thought the idea never took on with the advancement of brake technology. I'm presuming this example is to aid propelling moves? Does anyone have any further details?

    As above, I have used Eileen's for what appears to be larger than A3 sheets. The only thing I would mindful of is that both Slaters and Evergreen are of a good quality which I have found to be unmatched elsewhere. I have found that other no name brands appear to yellow (on white sheets) and are of a 'softer' styrene blend. Also their ability to stick using the usual MEK ends in mixed results...just something to consider.

    I’ve made my own in the past using various brands of decal sheet and sealed inkjet print. All have printed exceptionally well - inc the depth of yellow - however one thing to consider is the weight of the decal film. This can be much thicker than commercial prints and the hard edge becoming obvious once applied to the model.

    In which case can you check to see if the camera tape spindles are jammed? If the last time you used it was 2005 there is a chance any internal rubber belts or friction drives will be degraded to the point of being deformed or a slimy sticky decomposed ‘blob’. be worth looking at the mechanicals before going into the electronics…

    Zooming on these suggest various shades of grey (noting processing limitations)… https://rcts.zenfolio.com/diesel/br/dmu-1xx/120/hA870BF74#ha870bf74 https://rcts.zenfolio.com/diesel/br/dmu-1xx/120/hF463C84B#hf463c680 https://rcts.zenfolio.com/diesel/br/dmu-1xx/120/hF463C302#hf463c302

    I’ve not seen the article but one way you can achieve the finish is to dry brush Humbrol Metalcoat 27004 - Gunmetal and/or mixed with metallic 53 - Gunmetal. Use the paint without stirring and look to use the thick grungy pigment at the bottom of the tin, dry brush on and allow to dry. Once dry you can lightly polish the body with a large soft bristle brush - must be dry - and will give you the sooty/oily ‘sheen’.

    Its just been realised the planned pumping station to prevent the brook flooding the road won’t cope with the peak volumes of water...another delay to completion is being reported.

    It might not help resolve the issue, but it looks like the coupled wheelset has been inserted upside down. The raised points on the coupling should point upwards.
