Gravy Train Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi KNP, may I congratulate you on a lovely model railway with a lovely scenic setting and in the particular, the structures, they look superb. I have only just seen the pictures here for the first time and enjoyed looking through the thread. cheers Peter A L 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Definitely chilly here today. I've been on the go since seven. SWMBO put one leg out of bed, mumbled BRR and NO! and went into hedgehog mode. It's a hard life this lockdown! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification @KNP I'm surprised at the chilly comments this morning though. I thought the good folk at Little Muddle always enjoyed the lovely balmy summer days - I didn't realise the weather visited our slice of rural GWR. Stay safe everyone, sorry it's cold :-) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Parked the conflat with the container until another day when an idea will jump forth.... Back to 4589. Finished odds and ends... Small tank vents Sandbox added with pipe. A mass of pipework behind the cab steps . and I moved the brass number as I felt it was to low and didn't line up with shirt button. Now to move onto the weathering department tomorrow. Weather permitting of course! 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted May 13, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Goods just arrived and loco gone for coal..... I really must move up my list of priorities some loads for these wagons. All that seems to move around here is space, mind you saying that the loco coal wagon at least has some coal in it....
