I want to thanks all the persons that send me photos and information. Bob McKenzie seems to appreciate this new loco and drink a beer on the seat in order to see if the locomotive is confortable !

Hi, Thank you for your help. Regards

I'm modeling a Ransomes and Rapier 20 HP . I'm looking of photos with details on the rear /driving part of the real models. I have already find 3/4 photo on the website but they lack of details. If you have it, I will appreciate it. I want to reproduce all the details for my models at 1/13.3 or 7/8 th scale. IMG_8130 by franck combe, sur Flickr

After the hold up of photobucket, I post my photo on flick r. This is a selection of 4 old photos. IMG_7243 by franck combe, sur Flickr IMG_7254 by franck combe, sur Flickr IMG_7287 by franck combe, sur Flickr IMG_7229 by franck combe, sur Flickr The layout will be exhibit at warley mrc at Biringham in november. So I decide to do another locomotive typically English with a Ransomes and Rapier 20 hp. The chassis was made by my friend Jean-Pierre Duval and the kit came from back2besix.

Since few days, I work on the layout. This is the top view of the layout. IMG_8115 by franck combe, sur Flickr This is the hidden part of the layout. I want to thank my friend Claude Deschamps for the electronic part.

I was badly surprised by the default on electrical pick-up (quality of Germany and made in China I supposed).

The ice box is in order to match the perfect temperature of the beer (not to cold no too hot)

Last week end I have done an exhibition in Nederland (Modelspoodagen). It was a great exhibition and an occasion to meet my friend Hans Louvet. I modified the lighting of the layout in order to do photos without having an orange photo. Instead of having 2 halogens, I left only one and I had a led light and I' m happy with the result. I had a lister that I rename with the nickname of a model railroader friend that passed away last year called "NONO"
