Porcy Mane Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Don't try this at home... That's probably the only way some women I've met can get make up off. My Gxd that must be the ugliest loco to ever have graced the North East, Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that. To my eyes, there's something extremely appealing about asymmetrical wheelbase. 0-6-0T Steam Locomotive A.No.5 at The Stephenson Railway, North Shields - 6th April 2014. by Allan McKever, on Flickr P Edited December 5, 2015 by Porcy Mane 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 yep and soon to be a Judith Edge kit B*ll*cks! That looks like my "No More Kits" pledge has just blown out the window. P Paul. That sand blaster looks worth the money. Think I'll give one a try. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted December 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2015 Made a start at least! I've settled for Phoenix Precision M910 'Light Grass Green', it just looks right. IMGP8956-001.JPG I think the green clashes with your wallpaper. I've really enjoyed watching this build progress and its nice to see the loco nearing completion. The sand blaster looks a useful bit of kit too; might have to treat myself to one of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted December 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2015 2 o-6-0 chassis', 2 green painted bodies, tis but a small step to move up to something decent and useful like a diesel shunter Paul.

Porcy Mane Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) (yes, we're doing missionary work in Newcastle) and as such; missionaries will be expected to give many free trinkets & discounts to the local ignoarti. and then cast away any coverings from your various organs of locomotion (walk bare foot) to travel but a few hundred yards from the venue to pay homage at Dial Cottage https://goo.gl/maps/wpaLK991xGK2 to the past residents, Mr George and Mr Robert Stephenson (Engineers) without whom we would have no railways. Tiz here you will be expected to kneel in the local mud and generally bow in the direction of the Sundial. Failure to fulfill this missionary duty will result in the penance of decamping to the local hostelry known as the Brandling Villa (So named after the well known 19 century railway promoters) where for atonement, ye shall purchase some of the many and varied ales for both me and my heathen followers for the rest of the day. (For those of a stingy nature from south of the River Tees beers & alcoholic beverages are sold in the convenient measure of 1/3 of a pint). For a further small inducements, steps may also be taken by one of my followers, that could lead to many female nursing staff from the local hospital turning up at said hostelry. (They like toy twains.) P Edited December 8, 2015 by Porcy Mane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axlebox Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 3 further things Poursea...1./ you make me sound like a pimp!!! and 2./ that is the last time I set you up on a blind date (its not my fault she really was washing her hair that night)...and 3./ she has never mentioned 'toy trains (liking or disliking) to me...but has mentioned the 12" to the foot train she does own... Sorry Paul for interrupting your thread to correct Uncle Poursee. The 'long boiler' looks fantastic btw, all power to you elbow and from where I'm sitting the injuries sustained in its creation have got to be worth it. My Great Grandad Tom used to drive one from Shildon to Cockermouth and back every day...a 15 hour shift and the best paid footplate job on the NER at the time apparently.

Porcy Mane Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 1./ you make me sound like a pimp!!! Whats one of those? 2./ that is the last time I set you up on a blind date (its not my fault she really was washing her hair that night)... How do you know I wasn't talking about some of the other female nursing staff that look after my every need (Medical and medicinal) whilst incumbent in local hospital? 3./ she has never mentioned 'toy trains (liking or disliking) to me...but has mentioned the 12" to the foot train she does own... See answer to 2./ but I had forgot about the tankie she owns and that the boiler certificate is current. Sorry Paul for interrupting your thread to correct Uncle Poursee. I too apologise for said diversions Mr G. but the North Eastern Region of BR was very well known for it's weekend diversions.

gr.king Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 They will be green, eventually. I did wonder, but not specialising in knowledge of NE steam in the Victorian era I didn't want to suggest that black wheels would be "wrong" - you might have had good evidence for a specific example! The loco looks a little beauty by the way. How could anybody think the combination of distinctive long boiler and wrap-over cabs "miss-shapen"?
