Yes, I would but I only post my completed models there to make it special. Then again, maybe I shall.

Something to consider as the completed models are only one aspect of modelling. The really interesting bits tend to be the process towards completing it. 

Thanks guys - i don't have much information at all. it was mentioned to me by a friend who is a non enthusiast and they say they couldn't get a picture so I'm a bit stumped. Saying that an Intercity liveried locomotive on a low loader is a hard thing to miss.

MORE shameless cross posting!

I made this YEC 0-6-0ST from a Bachmann 'Junior' and 'NotPercy' with HO wheels and a smokebox from a GBL 4575

I might shamelessly steal this idea

Does anyone have any information a loco in intercity livery being transferred by lorry in the south of the UK?

Some lovely work has gone into this. Very creative. 

Today I decided I would try posting something on #throwbackthursday and lo and behold, what do I find, searching back through the photo archive???

 

I discover that I actually have 'form' in imaginary livery design!

I wanted to do one of those in LNER livery. Nice work

Yes please

I'm very interested in this subject. I'm looking to building Henry eventually with the flying kipper and some other wagons. How was James built?

This is asking mainly for a future possible modelling project. 

Understandably the Leader project was a bridge too far in terms of Bulleid's radical development projects - it weighed too much, cost too much, the asymmetric drive kept on breaking the piston rods and it practically boiled firemen alive. It's fair to say, it wasn't too successful.

However, I was looking through an old magazine of mine and found some sketches from John G Click who worked with Bulleid whilst he was at the Southern Railway one of which showed a locomotive with top half resembling the air smoothed BoB & WC classes and the chassis taken from the Leader. 

This got me thinking about the whole "What If" ideas. 

Could there have been any prospect of the Leader or design aspects of the Leader being successfully implemented at all?

Cheers chaps - one further question. I have seen picture of a black 5 hauling a rake of bogie tanks. I think it was empties near carlisle can some one provide further information on this.

I love what a lot of people have done here. Though the Caley Pugbashes and that G5 have struck an extra special resonance with me.

Many moons ago I built this up with the intention of creating an 009 gauge layout. As interests veered and whatnot it has since been left to one side of the best part of 4 years now. 

I utilised a Grafar 94xx chassis. I'm thinking of going back to the drawing board with it though.

Superb work.

Thanks for the reference just noticed your Thompson thread which i'd shall be taking great interest in in the very near future. I had the same trouble with my concertinas which I had use some string to keep them at bay. Also out of curiosity how do your coaches tolerate curves with this amendment? 

Hello there

I'm looking for images of steam locomotives hauling modernised stock in the very late steam era. I have seen evidence of this but I'm trying to track down images of locomotives hauling wagons such as HAA MGR wagons, TEA bogie tanks and TTA tanks. Specifically the TEA and HAA type wagons.

Here Tom. 

The only modifications to the technique I made was to use Pledge with klear as I could find Humbrol Clear for love nor money and Railmatch Roof Dirt & Frame Dirt (10:1 ratio in favour of roof dirt) instead of the black washes. 

Sorry to reanimate a dead thread. but I've just finished modifying some Hornby Railroad coaches - two of which were finished din weathered teak. 

Nice!!

 

Where'd you get the WM stones steam generator? I've been looking for one of those.

RT models http://www.rtmodels.co.uk/rt_models_022.htm

I've managed to finally complete my BR Blue 8F, hopefully more locos shall be on the way in the future.

Personally speaking, i would have liked to have seen this happen.

I remember the book mentioned. I am sure I had a copy at one time but think I might have sold it.  The LMS electric loco(crocodile?) pulling passenger train out of Euston woulfd make an interesting model, and attract attention at exhibitions.

A few years ago I built up one of the Dapol(ex Airfix) railbuses and painted it in blue, and it looked pretty good. I also painted up an old Pacer unit in green with whiskers which was OK.

It would be controversial but how about some BR steam locos in Blue with double arrow sign. Idea would be that steam was not scrapped in 1968. The VOR locos did not look too bad painted that way.

As you've seen, it has been done and I'm building one as we speak

You think GBL will bring out a static model of it... i do hopes. it'll save me having to fart around shopping and changing a Bachmann b1/k3. Lovely model model though

Lovely work there, my friend wants to do one as well, this will be a handy article for him.

I wouldn't seeing the midland misfit or the LNWR wheels mishap about but yes, The Marchioness is a beast and a half.

There are sme pretty hapless looking beasts there. Though I don't mind the WD's they're quite nice and the Q1 Austerity engine

I just finish painting up a modified "Black" 5 to go with the 8F. Unfortunately the corporate sectors of the 70's weren't a sentimental bunch but by the mid eighties some opinions had changed.

All modified locos would carry mechanical stokers, even the tank engines (with that mechanical pusher the austerities had) and GPCS. Some locos where even treated to Kylpor and Lempor ejectors. But the ones here's have Giels attached until further notice.

I'm totally there Flying Pig (perhaps apart form the red ). Can anyone point to some pictures of GPCS as to what they looked like in real life?

Love the BR blue Baltic btw

This chaps here has done a fine job too
