More than a handful's a waste.

Now I know the chap down the pub last night said he won't a lift today but not sure this is what he meant???

Next project(s) arrived in the post today from Chris (chuffinghell)

A CC2 and two T3 wagons

 

 

Very nice printing and beautifully packed.

I would like to point out that one of the bags contains brake 'handle' parts not a Baroque composer! 😳

As it was Baroque I’ve since fixed it and subsequent bags of parts will look more professional….

 

….and smell checked 🤪

Handel was a German-British composer, a knob is the person that spelt handle wrong 🤣

Just the start of another day here at LM.

Ordinary day really expect for those two on the platform.....

They appear to be in such deep conversion they missed the fireman shouting morning as they are discussing the merits of Handel and his music in relation to wagon building!

Only link was his Water Music and the fixing of transfers......

As I said just an ordinary day!

and here I was, just about to go Bach and do my Chopin, maybe buying a kit off your Liszt...

That won't take long. In fact, you'll be Bach in a few minuets.

Handel is Offenbach to Wagner finger at Mo's art just to Cope and play a Pärt, but should really just b*gger Orff.

Back to the engine shed.

After taking this picture I thought what has happened to the tender motif its gone silver and looks like a solid blob from this angle.

So I have removed it and put another one to both sides but this time used very warm water and it appears to have  done the trick.

I think what I did originally was to use warm water, did the buffer beam numbers and by the time I got to the tender the water had cooled.

I thought what!  No panniers but what relief just spotted the corner of one in the shed.

[Winslow Boy]

Optical illusion - like when you see the oasis in the desert, it's not actually there. This pannier craving of yours is getting worse. You really must see some one as your now imagining them.

CC2 and T3 update

Went together really well and very detailed just as you would expect from Chuffinghell

 

All built and lead weight added, strip inside for CC2 and T3 lead balls under chassis along centre line.

 

 

Now to add the S&W couplings, need three sets but I only have 5 left?, why an odd number I have no idea as they are normally done in pairs!!!

So what to do.....CC2 and a T3 will have a set then coupling loops on the other T3 until I get some more I think is the way out here.

 

Why an odd number is still baffling me!!!

Have you made a sacrifice to the carpet god?

 

 

[KNP]

 

Just a derelict house but is it haunted?

The locals think it is of long lost owner that had to leave under suspicious circumstances..... 

Rumour had it he had stolen a S&W coupling!!!!

 

Then one night I thought I could here people talking....warily I entered the vicinity...then I realised I've left the radio on in the railway room!!!

 

 

 

But no coupling was found.

Still missing so was the rumour true?

[Tortuga]

Or was there an extra one in the pack in the first place?

 

No, wait, ignore me. They don’t come loose do they? They come as a fret don’t they?

 

I’m going to second making a sacrifice to the carpet god.

S&W couplings come as a fret not loose!
