    Cheers Mike I guess the Valley Men's opinion was coloured by the ability to stop loaded coal trains going down hill!!! Rather different to working a Worcester - Padd or Portsmouth - Cardiff Its always fascinating to hear the view from the professionals. IIRC weren't there instances of Hymeks twisting their cardans as a result of over - enthusiastic power applications? Phil

    Thanks Mark I have heaps of the u channel profile blue foam strips we use in our loco storage boxes - modified exactly as you describe And nowt looks as good as real coal for sure! Cheers Phil

    Well it has taken two of us two weekends! No doubt there were 50 shades of grey? Hee hee That's a cracking picture at Sunderland - many thanks for sharing! Shade will vary no doubt with PD kits - and we will have some bauxites/house coal concentration versions of the later diagrams too - have all the transfers here from John at CCTrans waiting to go Cheers Phil

    Couldn't have you thinking we have been slacking all weekend! Heres the first batch of dia 100 Hornby hoppers weathered - nearly good to go Now we plainly haven't done some of the detail changes that other folks are doing on these - we need a train load ready for Trainwest, variety for us will come with the PD fitted/unfitted versions yet to be built Need to get these - and 5528 - off the workbench to make room for the PD production line Cheers Phil

    Sorry Mike! Hee hee comes to us all The Worcester men speak very highly of the Hymeks - was the opinion the same at Westbury? Phil

    Ah Reading! Still Mecca as late as 76 for Wizzo bashers - only down side was had to endure journey behind a gutless 31 from Worcester to get there You never knew what might turn up either - eg a 40 on cartics one evening - but the Westerns were the main event no doubt Phil

    This one in Neil's thread Brian? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/95191-neils-hydraulic-pics/ Cracking shot - is the lettering white or yellow? I have some CCTrans sheets that are most certainly yellow, planning to use them Cheers Phil

    You haven't dated the shot of 861 Neil - has to be 1971 between March and October as that's the only time she was in BFYE - wasn't she the last in MSYE? Cheers Phil
  14. Phil Bullock
    Certainly did - had a cracking day out behind D7009 through there 69/70 on an Adex from Worcester en route to Bournemouth A perpetuation of through workings to Bournemouth by WR steam on similar workings I guess Cheers Phil

    Layout looks the dogs whatsits Paul! Oh sorry Daisy doesn't have any.... Boxes work well don't they? Andi Dell gave me the idea - happy to pass it on! Plenty of blue channel foam for you here - if you cant make Trainwest will post some cut sections up to you 402? Don't tell SWMBO that whatever you do!!!! Phil

    Hi folks 1013 Certainly is on the SVR - that's Bridgnorth looking at the way the platforms are built is D1070 Newbury racecourse perhaps? Ha - Southernman beat me to it!!! Cheers Phil

    Excellent as always Dave Some very different shots there! NSE in Newcastle? Hope the loco has its passport! Phil
  20. Phil Bullock
    Absolutely - wouldn't want you getting in a pickle! Hee hee Abbotswood needs some too Phil

    Phew glad we got that sorted - was starting to analyse body side dings to compare photos how sad! - she has been swiped at the far end, other photos reveal two parallel dings on the drivers end one of which appears to have taken off the works plate. AN argument with a wagon left past a siding clearing point perhaps? Phil
  22. Phil Bullock
    Only someone with your railway background could come up with that Mike! Kind regards Phil
  23. Phil Bullock
    Absolutely John! And for us for locos its Brush Veteran... Phil

    Thanks Clive and Brian Paul Bartlett quotes slope siders all gone by 67 so maybe I'll leave the slope siders out - have 5 standard ones to include so that's probably enough any way Cheers Phil
  25. Phil Bullock
    Cheers Brian - there are 3 slope siders in the rake, was contemplating marking them up as condemned for one journey only.... Think they had pretty well gone by 1970? Phil
