RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted May 31, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Similar to the Layout links thread, please add any links to workbench topics or blogs that have a Southern / BR(s) theme. As with layouts it make sense for workbench blogs, kit building / scratch built topics to remain in their relevent section on the forum and this thread to compile a list of interesting links. My own, 4mm, needing updating, workbench blog to kick things off can be found here. Kris's 2mm workbench thread can be found here Burgundy's EM build of a Billington E3 here and a couple of Terrier related R-T-R improvements here and here DLT's Southern Locos workbench thread can be found here GeorgeT's Scratchbuild in 7mm of Bulleid Pacific 229 Squadron Colin Parks Scratchbuild of a 2Hal in 4mm Pete_mcfarlane's SER station 2011 challenge thread also his workbench thread including SECR rolling stock is here DIW's thread on a Southern Pride 4REP kit can be found here and his thread on building a Finecast T9 can be found here Peter Cross (N15class) 1930's exLSWR workbench blog here and scractbuild of LSWR Pull Push Brake third driver here and third tailer here in plasticard here all in 7mm scale Edited April 29, 2012 by Graham_Muz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted May 31, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2011 I don't do much modelling that relates to the either Southern or BR(s) but the few small bits that I do (a couple of coaches and the odd BV / wagon) can be found in my work bench thread (see the link in my signature). As a word of warning, you will find far more GWR / BR(w) in this than either Southern / BR(s) so if this offends you have been warned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lurker Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I look forward to seeing updates on your Hawkhurst model. Growing up in Paddock Wood, I found the (by then) old line to Hawkhurst fascinating. The first part of the old branch ran parallel to the main line and was retained as a siding. there was a footpath that led to a footbridge over the tracks. The footpath waas known as the Black Path and there were tales that the footbridge was haunted by someone who'd jumped. I've never found any reference to a suicide, but I still recall the tale. The other place where the old line was easily visible was out near Queen Street - where the overbridge had a distincy hump. Although i believe the railway was built to light railway standards by Col Stephens, there was no resort to a level crossing at that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted June 14, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks 'The lurker' (great name btw) I don't was to wonder of fthe purpose of this topic to much but here is a little teaser of some of the progress on the buildings for Hawkhurst so far... Firstly the signal box and the perishable store The goods shed is 80% complete but no pics of that yet Note the pictures above of the real builds are as they are now and not necessarily in the condition they were in for my modelling period, but gives you an idea. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted June 25, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2011 That's good to hear Dave. The Will's Q was one of my first kit buids as a teenager, its now on its third chassis and is starting to look a bit tired for its age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted June 25, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2011 That's good to hear Dave. The Will's Q was one of my first kit buids as a teenager, its now on its third chassis and is starting to look a bit tired for its age. Third ??? What is under it at the moment? The current etched version from SEF is superb, make the rest of the kit look rather dated. Cheers, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted June 26, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi Dave Well when first built it had the generic Triang/Hornby 0-6-0 chassis under it as the kit was orginally designed for. A couple of years later she was fitted with a old Mainline Collet Goods chassis which was slightly finer and more detail (even tho it was from the other railway) Common sense has since prevailed and she now runs sweetly on one of the fine SEF chassis's that you mentioned with a Portescap motor and indeed yes it does make the rest of the kit look very dated.

Dorsetmike Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Start of another hack of a Union Mills N gauge loco, this time a damaged LNER D20 loco (minus tender) into an Adams X6. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/56351-union-mills-d20-to-lswr-adams-x6/ The tender drive will be one left over from the T9 hack, and will receive any necessary tweaking to make it look more Adams.
