Corbs, glad you like it.

It appears to be a Roxy kit and I am tempted to get one to build.

Being in BR Crimson it had to be very dirty (a lot of older non passenger vehicles in Crimson ended up filthy).

Baz

Yes there is. I need to measure them up.

My mainline jubilee looks a lot better with new Comet cylinders which are larger than the original plastics ones.

Ta Paul. It is slightly grey was the picture of the real thing was grey with a bit of trackdirt.

Baz

It was something like Eem.. a scene with a Limestone works... I started off operating the 009 rabbit warren but escaped...

It seems to run well for its age.. Romford wheels and a big X04 type motor,

I tin the droppers using a bit of acid based flux then wash and dry them before welding them on. I did have some non magnetic droppers as I had been supplied the wrong wire...they were a lot easier to solder just didn't work!

Yes more droppers to replace.

The one on Leeds trams was scratch built and had a DS10 driving both bogies. It's a lovely vehicle but the numpties at Crich are afraid of it and seem intent on turning it back into its original condition.

Andy Morris also scratch built a Scale seven version.

Lovely vehicle! And a nice model you have there!

Baz

Dave,

ta very much.

A white ink/water and a dash of washing up liquid wash using a ladies makeup wedge to spread the mix. If you wait till the ink is nearly nearly dry it can give nice streaking effects. I used  a bit of greenscenes creamy white added (mainly) when the ink was dry. Odd spots have had the powder added while the ink is wet.

The top ones use a "thinner" wash as I don't want to have all of them the same. Still got some more to do.

No problem Dave.

Thanks Lofty! It is a lovely little loco. Shame I had to give it back(!)

Hopefully you can get the van and tools back and that the modelling mojo comes back asap.

Looking forward to seeing you and Grime Street at the NEC next year.

Baz

Looks like he used Gibsons. The Blue Pullman was another matter - he pulled them out and then machined them I think..

Thanks!

Thanks

Ta!

(I do still have a lined out Flatiron and some LNWR locos though.. juts for old times sake..)

baz

Paul, they do look nice in LMS lined Maroon but my modelling period has moved on..

Ta!

and yes the Jubilee has some thing really going for it as a loco.

Baz

I will do .. plans are afoot with young Ken Nelson for some baseboards which will fit the "railway room".

Phil

I really would like an A5/2 as well but until I build my layout I couldn't use one...

Baz

The phantom wheel d-railer strikes again.

Thats the 3rd Bachmann 08 I have sound fitted and weathered in the last 2 months so someone else  likes them too.

Baz
