Rob nice pictures of the wagons. @toboldlygo has done a lovely weathering job.👍

Thank you, yes I've been quiet, I've had to be, but I've been Lurking and quietly building things to keep my eye in.

Hall class 5998 Trevor Hall heads east with a train of empty cattle wagons. The venerable barn is the old kit from Wills and is certainly not in the same league as the scratch-built model on Chuffnell Regis @Graham T

 

 

I'd sack the roofer, if I were you ;)

Thanks for the information. Always interesting to hear another persons views on a product. Is it just the grey you’ve used or any of the other colours in the range?

Out of interest what’s the viscosity like, does it lend itself well to brushing and/or spraying?

 

 

It's airbrush ready, though they are new company they'll do a brushing version later on. it's got a very high pigment count so has excellent coverage. send them a message about the paints.

Thanks @Kevin Johnson but I can't take any credit for it as it's the work of @toboldlygo working from a photo in the Prairie Papers.

Who? Me?

As promised a photo shewing the underneath of the Rapido Mink although some help is/might be needed to ascertain whether I'm missing some of the brake gear on my sample. Maybe @BenLcan check his ?

 

I was surprised to read the paperwork enclosed with these and see a photo of Tigley Junction signal box in the background.😮

 

looks like a brass pin point bearing's come adrift....

Put away the Knickers chaps, it's time for a serious question for serious Modellers (including CK, Mr Tooth and Mr Sheep-person). 

Has anyone attempted to remove the Shirbutton emblem on a Dapol 63XX Tender. Not as an act of defiance but as a prep for a swap to another emblem? If so, how did you achieve that please?

I arsk as I have acquired and almost new 6385 with decent SW Digital Sound fitted and want to change the Tender markings suitable for 1960 - 62. 

6346 first choice (Exeter until 12/62); 6356 second choice (Westbury until 10/62); 6376 third choice (Barrow Road until 5/62). All these are correct for a no OPs and no Cab Side  Windows as far as  can see. 

IF one can get outside Pipes as a spare to fit, that opens up the choices a great deal of course.  Can these be obtained or 'fettled'?

Many thanks,

Mad Duck.

Microsol  - leave it on for at least 15 minutes and rub the shirtbutton off with a Q-tip and a decent cocktail stick, did it on our lord and master Robins one.

I do like black Halls, they're just that bit different.  I have one ready to paint myself, and a Star, just wondering what colour was used; did toboldlygo paint it for you, I'm sure I saw it on his blog at one stage.

 

Martin

I think I did a Star in unlined green, used railmatch gwr green for that and the Halls (saint edmund hall) I used /Vallejo Model Air 71.057 Black..

hopefully with the amount of leakage (a) Hornby's website won't fall over and (b) rmweb's won't either (hopefully Andy Y's fed the hamsters and got them up to speed).

So as I recover from my latest cardiac malfunction, time for an update...
