RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 1, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2019 When I was a lad the milk was delivered by a milkman with a horse and float. There was extreme competition between neighbours on the local council estate to get out with a spade and bucket and nab the steaming freshly produced piles. Some people didn't speak for months if they lost the race to another neighbour. Same here, there were plenty of grumbles when the horse drawn float was replaced by an electric one.

The model is a Parkside chassis with scratchbuilt body using bits of Bachmann MK1 BSK. DSCN3268.JPG Not an often modelled van I imagine! I remember the Finsbury Park van on heating duties at Kings Cross (possibly when the platform heating system was being maintained). I understand it was affectionately know as 'Dobbin' .. was it possibly adapted from a horse box? Here it is hiding to the right of a 31 on the blocks at Kings Cross ... And another (rather poor quality image) from platform 5, looking back at 'Dobbin' Edited January 15, 2019 by brylonscamel 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best cobbles I've ever seen. Would you be willing to share how you created them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Thats extremely kind! I made an embossing tool, which I also sell as an unmade etch now, which embosses about 8 and a half in a row, and you just move it along ond do more...... These are in Modelling clay, though its fine in Daz, and also workd nicely in foam board and similar. they were then painted, and then ash and a little sieved soil brushed into the cracks, and fixed with dilute PVA This is 7mm of course. Embossed cobbles in Celotex foam as a test IMG_3196 by giles favell, on Flickr Embossing tool. Different side will fit between rails.

The Finsbury park one was a slightly different variant, my model is based on one of the ones built by the southern region on old 20t wagon chassis. There is a thread on here about them, will find the link when I am not on the mobile version of the site. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Killybegs Posted January 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2019 Wandering around the shed at Worseter, we note there are a couple of large Prairies and a Grange at the front of the shed while a rather tired Dean Goods stands neglcted on the outside road. While we are there, a 9F trundles past on the embankment with a up train of coal from South Wales. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
