They did not get rid of Miranda.  She is to busy with other work to appear.

The image shown here, illustrating the 'capuchon' (that forward raised lip on the chimney) so well........ every time I see one it makes me recall both the word and my uncle, he first pointed this out to me whilst standing on platform 7 at Birmingham Snow Hill in 1966  I was so intrigued by its sound, I looked it up at got 'hooked' on railways instantly....small things eh?

Looks like they needed a tad more black paint to finish the top off. Amateurs.

Farewell Farewell, René....

RIP Rene a great loss to the comedy world, Rob would that chimney be for a standard No 4 boiler?

I think it's the top of the one where they hid the "Fallen Madonna with the Big B**bies".

A couple of weeks back we were discussing the Bachmann Hall in post war livery.I mentioned wanting more of these 'maid of all works' and today I received 5993 Kirby Hall from 44464 of this parish.

 

Details of how Mark converted her from a Hornby Olton Hall can be found here.He has done a fabulous job.

Looks like a job for the weekend, strip the remaining lining off my Bachmann hall! Looks so much better in plain green than with the garish orange lining

[Guest 7007GreatWestern]

Now that does look superb! Do you happen to know which paint Mark has used and whether it is spray or brush painted?

I did wonder if it was a Hall how many them on the fleet now Rob is that why you want a larger shed with all these extra loco's, visually there's not much difference between the Hornby and the Bachmann models when they are a couple of feet away I'm sure some jobsworth will say otherwise I own several of both and they do what is required of them, pull trains!.

OOh, always nice to be reminded of a little bit of profit  (I definitely made a few quid on the version of that painting which I bought and later sold)

No big boobies with this beauty.

Good Morning Robin

 

Congratulations Robin .....what a gorgeous loco....I am literally green with envy!

 

When I tried to see how Mark did it and clicked on the link to page 898 there was just a video for car insurance linked to some soccer team.....what did I do wrong?

My mistake.Click on the links in post 22731 but I'm sure he'll be along himself to describe it.More of it in action shortly.

That is the bees' knees,Robin.Simply a beautiful job which demonstrates what the real potential of this model is and what a difference the application of a sympathetic shade of green makes.If only......
