Proper loco's

Too clean

Sorry for lack of updates, I'd been distinctly off colour for a most of the summer, so things had slowed to crawl. This culminated last Friday (September 17th), when I was rushed to hospital after suffering a 'Cardiac Event' (heart attack). I'm on the mend, but I'm having to take things easy.

Nice joinery...

Yep that's the one's.

If they did survive to 1947 (I'm sure I've seen a picture of one), they would of lost the step boards and been in very dirty war time brown, possibly with a GWR Coat of Arms and that's about it.

Weathering ideas...

Reports of .my demise are greatly exagerrated. Twas just a heart attack

Don't tell him Pike!

Pizza

5, 6, 7, 8 & 10 please.

Yes he missed out 34065 double heading with 34066

Honey Dew or Water?

Quick and easy fix, get some 3mm x 1mm styrene strip and make up some U shaped spacers to go around the buffer shank behind the buffer beam

The 13xx's look much better when the buffers shanks have been shortened

81 years ago the skies above England were a battle ground, the 'Few' were not only downing bombers & fighters to protect our towns, ports and cities - but their aerodromes as well

Even better

Time for the power's that be to lock you back up in the Iron Bulleid - these Eastern leanings won't be tolerated.

No.5 for me also.

Oops it's been a fortnight since my last update - where did the time go? Firstly here's the finished Railway Stuff.. Works in progress.. P4 first Something from Maj Models, about to have some major plastic surgery.. Collett Dia.41/42 Full Brake Another model in works. Horch Type 1A And a couple of completed warbirds.. Mustang Mk.III PZL P-11c

Couldn't agree more life does tend to get in the way. Update coming up shortly.

... 'And thee must wash your hands After said bacon bap butty, Else thou will get bacon grease fingerprints, On your new loco'

Bacon Baps? Such devilry needs to be stamped out, King Arthur and his Knights shall set forth to Battlefield with much haste and cleanse the the café using the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. For it is written.. 'The bread shall be white and thickly sliced, a baguette however is acceptable. The bacon shall be crispy, it must be back and the cure unsmoked. The sauce must be Brown, or Fruity and butter isn't optional'

For best results with POWsides, firstly you need a smooth gloss coat to apply them on. Also you need to keep the wagon from moving and not touch the back of the decals with your fingers. So those with 3 hands will be very apt at applying them Using the tracing paper provided, cut them out with a sharp scalpel rather than scissors, align them on the wagon and tape in place with Kabuki tape and rub down with a HB pencil (mustn't be sharp). Also cutting the lettering into smaller sections (the Ocean ones were spaced to do it) and applying a section at a time makes things a doddle.

It's the only site I've had 'issues' with Paypal and when you offered to place the order over the phone - your card facility was down and I did give you my mobile number and you never bothered back to me when it was fixed. I had a neighbour try to order for (who works for Worldpay) she couldn't place the order either.
