    My Blog tends to chart my workbench activity. With more than a few wagon builds as I needlessly add
    even more to the overall collection.
    I've decided to try and clear some inherited kits which while very good at their time of issue are now
    beginning to fall short of later models. However first I thought I'd add a picture of the Cambrian Dogfish
    in it's current decaled but not weathered state.
     

     
    Right, next I started was a very old Ratio kit, one of a few that have disappeared from the Ratio range.
    The Ratio GWR Open 'C', LWB timber/pipe wagon - kit number I don't know, not bothered to search for that !
    The kit has the modern Ratio problem of 'W' irons being rather too far apart for modern wheel sets. You need
    to add plasticard, or any other material spacers between the ledge of Top Hat bearings and the axle hole. Here
    you see before & after.
     

     

     
    Having got this far I realised I had much missing, the 'V' hangers in particular, although mouldings were there for DC III brakes
    there were no levers. Add to having no instruction I asked and will be getting instructions in the near future to back into a box !
     
    O.K Ratio kit number 1501 from the 'New' 1500 series. My packet had the original wrapping from Ratio at Chorleywood on it
    there was a pre-decimal postage stamp. As Decimal currency was introduced in 1971 this kit must be OVER 50 years old !!
    I started without any searching and when built I thought I'd look to see if there was any information On-Line for a 5 plank
    Coke Wagon ? Nothing !! As coke was light the problem was volume not weight so all the information I could fine referred to
    7 & 8 plank wagons - Why would you uses only a 5 planker ?
    Markings will have to be fictitious, my thoughts are of a small towns gas works P.O. wagon.
    Any suggestions on this would be welcomed - but not scrap it !!
     

     

     

     

     
    My problem now is getting Bachmann narrow couplings, where I need the NEM pockets for my Peco PA34 mountings. I have good
    rolling chassis, but to test will need to rob couplings from existing stock.

    I'm known for being almost a wagon addict, I've always got at least one on the go, but there comes a time when space
    is running low. In a casual conversation with my local buddy I said I only had 3 kits left in stock and might not buy any
    more with my 'yard' containing around 450.
    Next thing he offered me a Cooper Craft, Ex-Slaters NER Birdcage brake van, would I make it for him ? With it's 19
    pieces of brass wire not an easy build. Here it is as I'm beginning to paint.
     

     
    Still a ways to go, but looking the part ?

    I've been very busy, but not actually having anything much to show for it.
    I've added this, a follow on from that last posting in July.
    We added a glowing brazier between two sidings and just a little rubbish,
    not enough really as it's still too clean. This amused me - simple enough
    to make me smile .....
     

     
    a paraffin can, even a box of matches resting on the clay pipe !!

    A few more wagons.

    By Dad-1,

    Ouch, almost 2 months since I last posted. I've not been exactly sleeping at the wheel.
    A few more wagons into the fray.
     
    I didn't think I had many Lowfit wagons and decided to have a shot at the Parkside kit.
    Initially I was a little miffed by instructions saying they were all wooden solebars, but
    that was me forgetting that while BR made steel chassis versions LNER had kept to timber
    on their version.
     
    These are very light and quite simple, I was past the making before I dug my camera out.
    Belatedly I took a couple of shots where I was fitting lead sheet into the small voids on the
    floor mouldings underside.
     

     
    Before decalling they were put behind a locomotive and reversed several times around a layout with some 1st radius curves. They were pushing 19 other wagons, these were No.20, & 21 some load ! yet not a single derailment.
     
    Now Decalled, both from a ModelMaster sheet included with the latest Peco 'Parkside' release. My other kit was an earlier one without decals. Note the use of Peco 'Parkside' PA34 mounting blocks into which I always use Bachmenn narrow tension-lock couplings.
     

     
     
     

     
    Construction is now moving onto Parkside GWR Mink 'A' wagons. I liked the look of one made for the club back in November and now have two others well on the way, with another two currently not started. So many options louvre end vents, bonnet vents, fitted, unfitted, GWR, or BR liveries. I have a mixture in mind
     

     
    That's enough at present, more later some time.

    Often when I say I hate painting I get a reply saying they like it as it starts to bring a model to life. Well I STILL
    hate painting !! All that work, making, modifying, sits there with great promise ...... and can be ruined with a
    poor application of paint. Such a happening simply knocks the enthusiasm out of me as is happening today.
    Here was/is my Parkside Dundas Southern BY Utility van, sitting in it's malachite green (Humbrol 2 with added
    blue)

     
    Having kept the guards chimney I needed to add orangy panels to each top corner and guards entrance door.
    Well a new tin of Humbrol Matt 82 orange was opened - the new sludge variety. Stirred very thoroughly and then
    some more, but the sludge contents didn't mellow into a paint.
    I tried using a nice small brush, but the paint wouldn't flow, didn't cover well & dried as I looked at it !!. Believe me
    it looks much worse in real life than the picture shows.

     
    What to do !! I hate Humbrol current quality, or should I say lack off. This is not the first trouble I've had in the last few
    years. Like just putting a matt varnish on plasticard, it was a thick sludge when opened & stirred. It only took a short
    while to realise it just wasn't going to work, so I stopped & have yet to return to this building. Back 20-30 years ago I
    had few if any problems with Humbrol paints used on my exhibition quality aircraft models.

    Although it's only 39" (1 metre) long and just one piece of track I want to develop an authentic feel - but all artistic (I hope) from my imagination.
    I've added vegetation to both sides of the stream, I'm still not happy with the reeds and will have to add more when all this is securely set.
    From the scenic side - well there is another 1.5" at the embankment base - the cow needs to become brown, the tractor getting dirty, and those reeds, need a bit more. I've already touched up the paint on the figures.
     
     
     
    I wanted to take a couple shots from the other side with just the sky and tree tops, but was unable to find a location in the garden where I could do this. My trees are getting too tall !! Apart from additional reeds this side is now finished
     

     

     
    A thoroughly enjoyable project ........ and it should be finished in the 1 month, from which I was away for one week.

    Laying in my shed looked at frequently, but worked on occasionally my 'Big' layout Castell Mawr
    has progressed slightly. One thing so few layouts have is a raised embankment section of any
    length where you can look up, or the camera can, to passing rail traffic.
    Today I finished grassing one part of embankment that is now completed from main road under
    bridge to this boards edge.
     

     
    I am having to look for suitable old brick colour paint, some testing was done with Humbrol 70, but
    I'm not at all happy with it. Looking through the Humbrol range I can see nothing to suit my eye.
    Although expensive in comparison I think I may have to look at War Gaming acrylics unless anyone
    here has a suitable suggestion.

    Since April we have spent more time at our caravan in Dorset than at home. My wife has decided that she wants to move there
    to be nearer to one of our sons & grandchildren. In principal I quite like the idea and suggested that within a couple of years we
    should do that.
    However things have rolled along so fast I'm now a worried man. Within two days we have sold our house subject to contract. Fine
    only I'm working on Castell Mawr a collaborative layout with me doing nearly all the work & spending most of the money - I like that
    as I'm in complete control. The problem is this layout's booked into our Milton Keynes clubs 2014 show in February, I have trouble
    moving such a big layout the 7 miles to that ..... so what happens to it ?? If I leave here it won't get finished & may get damaged, If
    I take it, I can't get it back, and even that is supposing our new as yet not found home has room for it !!
     
    I have done a little work recently and am currently waiting for more Knightwing spear security fencing. Here is half the sidings that
    I set a stage on this week. Some quality fiddle-yard !!

    Most of the traction I want, or need is available from major manufacturers, but for once I need something different. I'm planning
    a non- railway company yard with a wagon works. To move wagons for repair I wanted a small shunting locomotive, in such an
    environment it had to be something not used by operating companies. After looking around I came across the 'Howard' 0-4-0
    by Roxey Mouldings, a small diesel loco in white metal.
    I've not worked with white metal other than figures & although I once bought low melt solder & Carr's red flux I can't find the stuff !!
    I decided to go the superglue way using Loctite which is of a reasonable quality, not like the cheap market stall stuff. It'll also be DCC
    so one first check was to see where the decoder could go.
     

     
    Now the footplate, frames & headstocks attached. My current job is cutting & adding glazing to cab windows before I can join that.
    I have run it back & forth on DC just to make certain what's been done is O.K.

    A Shed at Last !

    By Dad-1,

    Well the MKMRS show went O.K, although the Dynamis system failed. Just got it back from Bachmann at a
    cost of £100 !!!
    Anyway back to more interesting things. I returned home with my CM layout after the exhibition and had
    to store in the garage pending arrival of my new shed.
     

     
    My shed arrived on the 20th of last Month as I went down with a rotten cold. This was the largest I could
    get in the available space, just 12ft x 7ft.
     

     
    I have moved one end board into the shed and done a little work on it. Some fencing made up although not
    fixed until all the fields are grassed. Been using various cows while 'playing' - Highland, Fresians, Jersey,
    Dexters, Devon Reds, but they need a re-paint not ginger enough !!!
     

     
    It's good being able to re-start work on CM ..... but I do miss my 20 x 10 garage !!

    As this is booked into the MKMRS Exhibition in February & I have no safe way of getting it from Northamptonshire to Dorset it's being left in the care of a friend. Today he came and picked up 2 corner boards and the sidings 'pod'
    now 10 miles from home !!
     
    Decided to make up the other half of the station entrance this afternoon & evening. The ramp is on one board, with the steps on another, I seem to have got acceptable joints.
     
    Put some figures out to see how it looks ....
     

     
    Due to moving I couldn't go the The Telford International Centre for the IPMS(UK) International Exhibition. Had a phone call though one of my aircraft had won bronze in a special Canadian subject competition presented by a large group that had come over from Canada for the show. Also the Special Interest Group I started in 1993 wond a best in show Gold award ..... Oh how I wish I'd been there as planned, before moving was even thought about !!!!

    I've always found that the help and support between model makers top most things in this soured modern world.
    I had a surprise package arrive at the start of the last week of November. A cyber friend that I've communicated with
    since 2008 sent me a kit from his collection as a present citing years of help and encouragement. Not only that, but he's
    North East and mostly Blue Diesels ..... shock even post privatization, sometimes !! Being GWR this would never fit his
    modelling eras.
    GWR, great that's my hunting ground. The kit was the Ratio ex Taff Vale Railway bogie bolster, kit No.562.
     
    This was an old kit, including Plastic Wheel Sets.
    Now if you've not made an old Ratio Kit there is a glitch, the kit was made for the longer than standard axles supplied. Yes,
    you can and should fit brass bearings, but even that leaves Very loose wheels, unless ......
    Note how short the front Hornby set is
     

     
    The moulded holes were loose for Top-hat bearings so no need to drill out. To space out bearings it would be best to fit fine 2.0 mm
    washers under the ridge, but I didn't have any so used superglue on a pin head to help stick the bearings slightly out of their seating.
    Just make certain none gets on the axles !!
     
    The other wrinkle was the fitting of couplings. I didn't even try the enclosed parts wanting to use Peco PA34 mounting blocks with
    NEM pockets and Bachmann couplings. They can't be fitted without surgery much earlier in the build, but the simple wire loop
    works fine when used with wagons that have hooked couplings.
     

     
    Test running was fine and no problems, although one will have to take care on the alignment of couplings when reversing.
    Decalled and weathered it looks fine, runs well - Thanks Dave, a real gentleman
     

     
    Now I'm trying to find if any of these Taff Vale wagons lasted into early BR times ? Why, simply because I'd like to know !!
    It's my railway and I'll run what suits me.

    Acceptable slow running

    By Dad-1,

    My little Roxey shunter was working O.K, but showed considerable differences in running ability depending on direction of movement.
    Even stalls on clean straight level track when running at slow speeds I want, let alone stalling on insulated frog points.
    Everything was clean and adjusted correctly, the only obvious discrepancy was the weight balance, being much heavier at the cab end.
    Failure was in my opinion a failure to pick up current from the track, be it wheel to track, or wheel to motor contact wipers. I decided to try
    rubbing the wheel rear faces with a pencil, rubbing the wheel treads with particular care to the flanges as the B2B was slightly wide, and
    finishing off rubbing the track head in the locations of stalls.
     
    I could never have imagined the improvement this gave. I have quite equal running qualities in either direction and although these Tenshodo
    SPUDS have no reduction gearing I am getting slow running to an acceptable & useable level. There is some aparent jerkyness, although
    some of that is the small wheels crossing turnout frogs. The wagon is from a Parkside Dundas 10 ton insulated van kit.
     

     
    A warning - remove track current, I burnt my finger when I accidently shorted the graphite pencil across an insulated frog, Boy did it spark !!

    O.K not quite a finished NER Birdcage Brake Van.
    That's where the trip comes. The decal sheet was 'dead', a press-fix and for anyone who has used them
    there should be a protected surface film on the underside. When you cut out your required marking this
    adhesive is what you press onto your model to hold it in place, then when located correctly you add water
    to an over tissue. This water both releases the over tissue and activates the permanent adhesive which
    is included with the tacky film.
    Sorry about the teach-in, but it helps you understand my problem.
     
    So ? Well the Cooper Craft/Slaters decal sheet was 'dead', not only was the tacky film not active, but when
    water added the protective tissue lifted away, but the decal didn't adhere to my model, Huh - Dead !!
     
    I have been asking questions in the forum, but although this is a known problem with some press-fix decals
    nobody has a fool proof way of resurrecting them !!!!
     

     

     
    Note the rather prominent lamp brackets that have been added from fine micro strip, 3 to each end and one
    each side near the door. Hopefully this will be finished withing a few hours of a HMRS LNER press-fix decal
    sheet arriving. It has the essentials, but sadly not all the allocation names.

    I have this 'Thing' about loose unused wires on decoders. In short I can't stand
    having extra wires that I'm not going to use getting in the way and if not covered
    suitably with masking tape offering a potential short and with it decoder death !!
     
    In no way is this a criticism of decoder manufacturers as they need to offer a large
    range of user options. The Lenz silver mini decoder that I have to put in my Roxey
    'Minnie' needs to be as compact as possible so I decided to use my small soldering
    iron to remove the blue/white/yellow leads. With a tip smaller than a pin head and
    allowed to fully heat up it's just a momentary touch to remove those leads unwanted
    by me.
     

     
    I'm quite pleased with my radiator conversion, note the chrome dress making pin head
    filler cap .... it'll dull down when weathered.
    I don't undercoat, but many white metal castings seem to absorb paint, as you see under
    the exhaust pipe. I'll have to treat this as a primer, do another as the undercoat, with
    one final pass for my finishing coat. Why did I pick green ? as happened so often in real
    life it's because I have it, 3 tins of Humbrol emerald green to use up sometime !!
     

     
    After a study of the four parts that make up the cab I need to make a jig to hold in place
    for glueing. Oh also need an instrument panel with a few control levers and see if I have
    a suitable figure to add as driver.
     
    Having great fun !!

    My last missive was creating a suitable interior for my Wills greenhouse - nowhere to put it, just
    a bit of creative fun.
    Move on a few days and when in the garage I uncovered a scrap of ply, slightly mouldy and warped.
    It crossed my mind to make up another diorama using the greenhouse and a cottage I'd built out of
    plasticard for a club-night 'How I Do It'. A good rummage through other odds laying around and everything
    required was on the bench !! Spares boxes are SO very useful.
     

     
    Still some way to go with landscape and fencing, but to me a great use for some scrap ply just 7.3/8" wide.

    It's not my fault, blame John of Cambridge Custom Transfers. As he's pointed out the decals I require are all on one of his giant decal sheets
    I've placed an order. What do I do in the meantime ? Make another wagon that has the markings included on said decal sheet !!
    As a result I started last evening without the camera by my side and made up a rolling chassis for the Cambrian Dogfish ballast wagon. I have
    said before that Cambrian have a few quirks and often need some experience to get 'right'. One of those problems to look out for is finding
    what is flash and needs trimming away, and what is needed as you key the parts together.
     
    Here is one of those places of doubt. Do you trim off the thin edge to the chassis cross members ? NO you do not, and leaving the one where
    it's attached to the runner needs care.
     

     
    The footplate sections have this ridge all around, the parts have this below the top edge of the solebars. Easy where there is a moulded stop, but
    there is no 'stop' for these to sit on.
     
    The packet and bits this morning
     

     
    I  sat wit the rolling chassis in my hand, very squishy and deliberately twisted it until I had the axles lining up exactly. Ahh and I'd put the
    wheels in holding in with a rather loose elastic band around all 4 axle boxes. The rolling chassis is now flat no diagonal rock at all.
     

     
    More tonight, all being well.

    As this is the premier modelling site I tend not to regularly post, just when I've done something
    a little above my normal modelling.
    I've had a Wills greenhouse and cold frames kit kicking around for years. Recently uncovered
    I decide to make up for no other reason that I wanted to do something different. Also with a
    requirement for another club diorama by the years end any scenic props might be useful.
     
    Again collected years ago it really was time to use some of my 'Stuff' that included flocking dust
    and FlowerSoft crafting granules. My wife has a much greater range of FlowerSoft that I could use.
     

     
    I know I could have tapered the plant pots, but when inside the subtle and extensive work wouldn't
    be seen
     

     
    No potting tray would be complete without a garden trowel
     

     
    The almost finished item. I think it needs guttering and a water butt
     

     
    Always New projects for the railway modeller, all I have to do now is find where, or how to use it !!

    Back & Fighting Fit

    By Dad-1,

    Hi All,
     
    The back operation went very well and my legs are working without giving me pain equal to a broken limb. Although there were no promises regarding general back pain that I've had for 50+ years there has been a considerable improvement. Shame the NHS thought they could defer until I was unable to move, was it worth the eventual private cost of £6 K, yes worth every penny.
     
    However now she who must be obeyed has pushed me into buying a holiday caravan by the sea. As a result all builds will slow down (even more).
     
    I have started again as I can stoop without pain and have been cladding the wooden wall liner with embossed plasticard. Had to make up a scene as I played. Quite a busy road in the morning. All still a little raw, but you get the idea of the scenic fiddle yard/sidings. Why have loads of track doing nothing for you ??
     

     
    Off to the seaside tomorrow for just over a week ...... enjoy yourselves ..........
     
    Dad-1
  21. Dad-1
    Although I want to work on my 'river' end I need to work on that outdoors and today the weather looked iffy.
    In addition I didn't feel too good as my back was playing me up. As a result I started plastering more of the cutting where the boards are up in the garage.
     

     
    Took this with one of my 3 x 14XX locos pulling a short freight. From track level that cutting looks quite deep. Still very wet and glistening .....
     
    Probably slow up now as next week I'm away for a few days, while the current weather forecast is not too good.

    Back to wagons again

    By Dad-1,

    For the last few months I've been busy on layouts. Both for the club and while intending to get some club
    input the Corona Virus shut down has left the option of do nothing until the club rooms open again, or do
    it myself. All interesting and keeping me busy, but apart from the '0' brake van I've not touched a wagon.
    Couldn't go much further without making something with wheels !!
     
    What's in stock - too many, but the Cambrian GWR/BR 18 Ton Sleeper Wagon caught my eye. Through Autumn
    I'd been making engineers stock and this was intended as part of the set.
     
    Cambrian kits can be brutes to make and I would usually advise against any beginner trying one. This one
    has been so easy it's fallen together in a few days. Almost no wrinkles of confusing instructions with parts
    that once cleaned up fit well.
     

     
    As with all Cambrian kits they come without wheel sets, bearings, hooks, or decals. All these things cost
    money, but the kit was cheap enough at £7.20
    I tend not to use the recommended Gibson wheels often using Hornby sets in my wagon builds as their flanges
    are somewhat deeper giving running security should you end up with a less than perfectly flat chassis. There is a
    danger as some Cambrian kits have so little clearance and these would foul however no problems with this build
    as A). I had no spoked Hornby wheel sets. B). My only spare spoked wheel set was Dapol, and these do have smaller
    flanges.
     

     
    Very simple and fell together in a few hours.
    White Metal hooks from the 'spares' box, I nip off half the fixing stub, otherwise it could foul my method of
    fixing couplings.
     

     
    This was on the edge for fixing couplings due to a tie bar between the solebars. Already well glued in before I thought
    about couplings. A moment of panic as I couldn't find any Bachmann short narrow tension-lock couplings. These have
    been in short supply since last Autumn and this build has taken my last 2 !!
     

     
    With my small platform stuck in it was almost impossible to get a NEM pocket in between it and the tie bar.
    I trimmed about 0.5 mm off the tie bar and used a file to create a small groove in the NEM pocket. Even then 
    I couldn't pull the coupling down the last fraction of a mm to get 100% matching height to my standard of basic
    Bachmann RTR height.
     

     

     

     
    Once in there is no way you can change either the wheel sets, or remove the NEM pockets. If you want obviously
    you could snap in Kadees, but this is not destined for a Kadee layout.
     
    The made up model less stanchions weighed in at 8.6 grams, VERY light, but was run in a train with 11 wagons behind
    it over 3 set track points and some 1st radius curves showing no signs of distress or de-railing. The kit has no brake
    hangars meaning the wheel voids are quite empty. I used this space to add some lead sheet, salvaged from Jordan F1
    wheel balance weights, this brought it up to nigh on 24 grams and I'm certain give additional running security.
     

     
    Now painted black for early BR it'll have to await some decals and weathering before any more photographs.
    Conclusion an easy model to make of an unusual wagon. Can sit with my Mermaids, Catfish, Dogfish and Shark !!

    Why Not indeed !!
    I've been trying over several evenings to produce a video showing some shunting. Although the camera can be stuck on a tripod it involves many changes of points and some carefull use of controllers, particularly when trying to run a DMU into & out of the station at the same time.
    Thanks to small digital camers one can try & try again, interesting hearing the expletives on play back of failed
    'takes'.

    The St.Oval fights back - or why didn't I think first !!
     
    St.Oval has 4 bridges, the tightly curved viadict ..... or is it a bridge with 3 spans, 2 over the stream, one for road the other the branch line, then a much higher road over bridge. These are never as easy as first thought.
    First the Viaduct has not been a problem yet although putting the 3 arch linings in on a curved structure will no doubt cause me some difficulties. skinning with plastic card will be easy enough when I find which one I want to use.
     
    The stream culvert would have been easy enough if I hadn't glued the MDF structure in place before adding the plastic skinning and in particular the key and arch stones. I found it impossible to work upside down on the inside arch, although the outer one was easy. In the end I stood the layout board on it's side, sitting on a bench, while I worked on my knees ..... went much easier than expected.
     

     
    The outer face and wing walls were easy, looking better for an initial rough coat of paint.
     

     
    After that I made certain the road bridge that'll sit alongside the railway was put together before being stuck in place.
     

     
    I can't even begin the final road over bridge until I've fixed the cutting sides and the road leading to the bridge - it's the only way I'll get things to line up. As it is the hill will be nigh on 1 : 4, although that's not uncommon in Cornwall.
     
    Still a long way to go, particularly when my back is giving so much trouble. I think doing the Edinburgh Tatoo by coach was the agravating factor for my back.

    Although we're still waiting for more details on the planned house move
    I need to press on. Having done as much as I want on the top siding board
    I've now put these away in their storage pod and brought in a station side
    board.
    The station side is viewed from the signal box side and this is the condition it has
    been left in since February this year. I now need to fill in with something !! Currently
    my idea is to fix the Dapol de-mounted fruit 'D' box backing onto the tracks with a gravel
    roadway running down to the signal box. A low grassy bank between the signal box & shed to
    separate vehicle movements from the main line. Then just a few piles of ... junk laying
    along the gravel roadway ......... Anybody any comments ??
     
    My platforms begin about 75 mm south of this board. I don't intend cluttering I want a
    rather open feel where there is enough room for vehicles to turn & move safely. The coal
    yard side only needs a small de-mounted box fixing and some fencing. Other than that the
    far side is O.K by me, although 3 to 4 lorries a few cars and figures bring it to life.
     
    Cuckoo Lane crossing - now in it's box !!

     
    Station side - coal yard board ..... with work to do !!
