...just my luck after 10 years of putting a rake of these together along comes a kit! I'm about to start on a batch of Conflat Ls with the containers...just in case any manufacturer out there has any plans for making them....

It's a boy.
Oops! Wrong part of social media.
...and what better christening present than a model of 55017...

In the Newcastle Smiths this morning. More than the three that arrived last month as well
Morpeth smiffs is awash with them (minus one)...the conspiracy theorists amongst us would suspect smiffs trawl the web looking for their name being mentioned...and have acted upon last months moans. (PS if I keep calling them smiffs they'll never read this)

Hmmm...well if that's a whitewashed interior - thinking diesel shunter, still exists and hasn't been made yet, that rules out most BR standard classes with exception of the 02. But if I had to speculate, Ruston, they made loads of them, they appeared on BR, they appeared in industry - a Ruston 165DS/DE?
...now if only Rustons built locos for Irish customers as well, that would be the sort of clever thinking we're beginning to expect from the Accurascale boys...oh no wait a minute, they did build locos for the Irish market...

Page 5 of this thread and 111 posts on a website full of eagle eyed rivet counters and no one has spotted the spelling mistake in the title of the thread?
Darrel, thats just my dyslexia kicking in...you should see the fun I have putting numbers on wagons!

Great show, well done to the Wakefield club, you've done yourselves proud in your 60th year!
It was worth every penny of the £7 entrance just to see so many top drawer layouts in one room...
...and the cakes were rather good aswell!

And a photo that looks like an old rusty pipe white washed in my basement!
We know its a loco now but what preserved examples do we know that resemble a white washed old rusty pipe?

Facebook says something will be rumbling down at Warley this year...

we received two, only two, at 55 deg North (Newcastle Smiths) over a fortnight ago.
...must have fizzled out there as I never saw it at 55.163 degrees N (aka Morpeth)

...did this issue ever make it up north as I've not seen one in any of my local smiffs?

...It must be Workshopwise today...why else would I have a craving for cake at 7 in the morning!
(any excuse to bump this to the top of the RMWeb feed again...)

Do you have a friend who's a detectorist?
Or is your only friend that Porcy bloke....
See ya Saturday.

Mr Franks, you know full well that I'm not allowed friends, Uncle Porsea is family and doesn't count!
I was in the front room yesterday, having a swift half pint, and I heard you've got a couple of product launches planned for Workshopwise this year...
Also, do you have any buffers like these in your range?
...and as for detectorists...

...might have to rethink the wagon building demonstration I was going to do...as I've mislaid the lump of iron I was going to take...its buried in the garden somewhere, just can't remember where...and I can't do a demo without a lump of the real thing under the table...

Has anyone got or seen photographs of these in internal use by British Sugar, as the only ones I have seen are LMS iron ore or ex Liverpool Corporation!

Only in preservastion (I thought there was more than one preserved)...

Its October (nearly)...so it must be time for...WORKSHOPWISE 2018.
A day of practical modelling demonstrations from the members of the NE & Borders Area Group of the EM Gauge Society...with some rather nice layouts, a handful of traders and the very best exhibition catering...but don't just take my word for it...
Whatever your scale/gauge combination you'll get a warm welcome.
Saturday 13th October
10:30 to 4:30
Stannington Village Hall
Morpeth
NE61 6EL
Entrance £3 (yes, just three pounds)
Traders include:
Tynedale Trains
Stonybridge Structures
Lanarkshire Models and Supplies
Stannington is just a couple of miles south or Morpeth in Northumberland and the village hall is round the back of the Ridley Arms public house and a stones throw from the A1.
Still not tempted?...you (or a significant other) could easily spend an afternoon in Morpeth, not many towns still have their own department store, a vibrant high street...and of course the cheese shop with the best selection of northern cheeses anywhere...
Lastly, local author Dr Dave Dunn will be at WORKSHOPWISE projecting railway images from the Armstrong Trust collection...what better way to spend an hour than to sit back with some good coffee and cake and be transported back the days when trains had time to stop and shunt.
Did I mention it only costs £3...

Fast forward to 0.11 and is that the body of a gigantic class 08 morphed into a space ship?...
...or should I come off the medication?

...although you do hope that by time these pictures were taken in 1953 they were no longer occupied...

And my memory is correct, The film "Pride" was shot on location in Onllwyn...go on,pronounce it if you can....and provides a sweet bit of anecdotal evidence (it is essentially a true story of Onllwyn and its pit ) to give flavour to this Accurascale release.
So if you buy a rake,find a copy of the movie sit back and enjoy a funny and touching story. Brought back some of my heritage too...I was born in Aberdare,some 8 miles away,and grew up to the sound of colliery locos struggling up and down the valley with the predecessors of the HUO's.
...There has been a previous film about the miners strike that was also filmed at 'On-clue-in' (is that anywhere close?) and it included shots of wagons being shunted around...

Are we there yet?
no, go back to bed, you've got to get up at 5 and you'll only be grumpy if you don't get enough sleep...
EMGS AGM, Members Day & Modelling Workshop
in Exhibitions
Posted
Great liitle show to go with the EMGS AGM, not a bad venue either, and well organised by th NE and Borders area group.
...however I did make the mistake of asking what the veggie option was in the auction mart cafe!
Well done Mr Worsdell Forever (of this parish) for winning almost everything in the competitions.
