:-( If anybody wants an Ultrascale wheelset for a Heljan 26 in OO please PM me - I ordered in P4 ... looks like their system hiccuped somewhere. Chasing them at present (no answer)... but might be putting on classifieds ... 7 month wait down the drain :-(
-
... and there it is! I didn't order one, but my "reputation" has achieved Western Enterprise!
-
... quite glad now about the cold weather... as it stopped me priming my 47 body... and Brian passed me some more extreme etching bits at Ally Pally to try - cab side window surrounds, so it's back out with the sandpaper and file.
-
... shortly to be headed west (SWA) for some hopefully warmer weather... really fed up with winter now!
-
... thought I'd just spend a few minutes scoping out what I'd need to do to refine those Bachmann 47 tanks... yee gads!!!! That'll take some work!
-
1 step back, 1 step forward; 4 steps (that were too far) back... 4 steps forward; 1 step back... 2 steps forward. Such is progress with the Bach 47 project... at least there's some primer involved this time.

2 hours and counting; cleaning up laptop... what on earth did youngest download? Time to review permissions me thinks - or hide the laptop so ghe can't ghet to it after school - he's only 6.. what'll he be like when he's 13?
-
3 1/2 hours trying to make marker lights for 4mm deltic from plastic rod and brass wire - failed - try again another day! Time for a beer!

Hi Jon,
Just a thought but have you tried fibre optic cable (avail from ebay amongst others in a variety of sizes) You can get the sheathed variety which I had success with on a 47 project. The sheath can be cut back to expose the fibre optic which can then be cut and shaped to protrude through the body at the right diameter. It also allows you then to create a light-box where there is more room.
Just a thought
Hope it Helps

Hi, yes, I did think about that but have yet to convince myself that I want to light-fit this one... it's not a 21-pin version so would need all lights adding, including those for the headcode which would mean replacing that too. Not convinced that I'mm up to that yet, but thanks for the suggestion.... I'll keep an eye out for some.

hi jon
I get mine done by a guy who is excellent and reasonable. he is steadily working his way through my fleet that don't have working lights. He is good value too for an excellent job. I think it really makes a difference. he did a superb job with my 40. Could PM his e mail address if you want.

3rd attempt at scalescenes inspection pit has been slightly more successful... and it's now all stuck down.

55 minutes gate to gate Edinburgh to Gatwick; 45 minutes to get the last two miles to the office... is why air travel just doesn't work as it should. Good to be home though, fatigue, aches, pains and all.
-
-
Plane stopped short of gate 110? Across the bridge - North Terminal... Had to wait for jet way.. then onto bus... wait until london-underground capacity full... drive to terminal and walk a mile to exit... wait for bus back to near offices and arrive... a hastle every time... oh the glamour of air travel ;-)

A break from working the front end of a Bachmann 47... back to the P4TC Turnout kit now that check rails arrived... track gauge clears straight raills, yea! now for the curved outer closure rail.
-
A sharp Swann Morton 10A, pressure and lack of concentration, and finger tip = need some plasters! and maybe something medicinal
-
Aargh! how many more 47 roof fan mesh pieces can I break?
-
Again, Brian H proves to be the master of Deltic knowledge - per his advice, yes the Deltic De-Mythology book does indeed show that the fuel tank vents on the No.1 end B side are different - Thanks for the pointer Brian, and of course to Ian Strange for his remarkable book
-
All green Hymek bufferbeam and cowling paiting. Not what I am used to at all!
-
-
-
Yup. Not mine (don't panic!) My Friend's - he of the loft layout. Heljan one... everything under the sole bar was black so I offered to paint it - red bufferbeam. But I noticed the need for green cowlings and white tank too. A light weathering of underside will be given once tidied up. Nice little model; not my sort of thing, but very neat and compact.

Am I the only person that thinks the new David Bowie track is possibly a spoof..? Surely he's not taking this seriously.
-
Amazed that the Eastleigh 100 event (photos on banner - very similar to some I've got actually) was 3 years ago. Blimey. It was a good day.

An eveining spent ballasting whilst listening to Joe Satriani
-
And we're back... phew! There was a danger of having to do some modelling, but I think that's been nicely averted ;-)
