  1. I asked my sister (a graphic designer) to make a suitably period-esque logo for one of the many industries that will abound in this area. Think she did a nice job! Points awarded to anyone who can guess the reference correctly...
  2. Maybe an overbridge or something would work for the middle? Or something like an overhead pipeline?
  3. Can't wait to see the Peckett! In terms of ownership and livery, what company does the MW belong to? Is it another on the same estate?
  4. Great idea Tom, will be watching with interest.
  5. Thanks! That's really interesting, I've been fascinated by the Lambton lines. I recently read an online article about the letters your grandfather/great grandfather sent and how they give an insight into the workings of the railway. Is this the pannier tank you mean?
  6. Come now, we all know BPRC is the true future of model railway control. (Corbs was later spotted running for the hills, not wishing to be caught uttering words of such heresy)
  7. Nice work, I've a Cambrian 'Turbot' in my to-do pile for when I muster up the courage, your stuff is pretty inspiring to get on with it!
  8. Here's a braw wee pugbash for a Tuesday. This one is from Rushby's Railways http://rushbys-railways.blogspot.co.uk/2010_05_01_archive.html
  9. Yes of course! That sounds fantastic.
  10. My favourite temporary fix is black tac. A bit more tactile than blutac, you can get it on ebay. It's more easily hidden as it's black. Quite a few of my loco bodies are held on this way during construction
  11. Thanks for the kind comments. Here's one I did this morning. The same disclaimer about the 'join' applies but hope it is enjoyable. Ones like this are more difficult as masking around the trains as they move is very fiddly. (with the same apologies to Jesse for using your footage, and Tony for removing him from the background!) Here's the one I did a few months ago, previously posted in this thread.
  12. Yes you're right, the right amount is probably somewhere in between the first one I did (too slow) and this one (too fast).
  13. Looks smart! Clever work on the face as well. Huw - Yes that's a good idea. A few years ago the 009 society had a competition where people built 'pugbashes' as its so close to 009's roots. In fact a lot of the creations that appear here are from that competition.
  14. Good evening Tony et al, I had another go at doing some sky and sound replacement using Jesse's gopro footage (Jesse - I hope this is ok. I've set it so you cannot view it unless you already have the link) I was doing it on my laptop so it's not as polished as I would like, but as a bit of fun for a few hours I think it's ok, I hope you like it!
  15. Looks a great project! I'm glad this thread did its bit to help spur on the modelling mojo.
  16. Yes! I'm so glad you posted that, I've been trying to find those pics for a while now as I want to do the same thing.
  17. So that's a model of a model! Here's some more of Ted Polet's creations for the Craigcorrie and Dunalistair Railway. These are created from the triang TT 'jinty'. http://www.009dutch.nl/cdr/main/eframe.htm No.12 'Brutus', an 0-6-0T No.13 'Robert the Bruce', a Jinty stretched to a 2-6-2T No.17 'William Wallace'. A big 0-6-4T
  18. Nice one Nile, are you going to be doing a layout thread for this new venture?
  19. Something a bit unusual in that its a carriage and not a loco, a GWR autocoach in Maunsell Green... https://www.flickr.com/photos/65634570@N07/9246946141/in/photostream/ By P L S http://ngrm-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3795-brookford/page-30
  20. Apologies for the lateness of the day in this posting, I was waylaid by bandits. Here's some rather charming Peckett pugbashes working at 'Compass Point' by boghopper on NGRM http://ngrm-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/9723-compass-point-009/page-179
  21. Absolutely, it's all great low risk practice. Most importantly, it's fun!
