RMweb Gold Clearwater Posted April 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2020 Really prominent seam on that mold. Hornby really need to up their game and sort it out. Just not good enough in this day and age. No wonder they’ve lost the franchise to Bachmann. Plus that blue is looking a bit brown to me. Another massive colour fail from the Big H. Shocking QC if you ask me. 2 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted April 13, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) After many years of waiting I've finally succumbed and purchased a couple of the Skytrex platform water cranes. Initially I found them to look too tall but a chat with the retailer informed me the column was adjustable as the height varied over the system. Picking the brains of GWR guru @Miss Prism he suggested a height of 46mm from the platform or 58mm from rail to the centre of the beam was needed. I've built the up platform one and here it is as the groundwork and grass dries. I plan to renew the down platform one next and replace those aging Mike's Models versions. The kit is multimedia and has a resin base. You get a straight and cranked beam in the kit. https://skytrexmodelrailways.com/water-cranes/89-4ls-004-gwr-platform-mounted-water-crane.html Prototype photo courtesy of R Saunders.

RMweb Gold john dew Posted April 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi Robin I like the look of those water cranes......I ,too, have a bunch of aged and, in my case, wounded Mikes Models Cranes....they are runners up to signals and lamp posts for collateral damage on Granby. What are the principal differences between the two makes? Hope you had a good Easter despite all the disruption. Best wishes John 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold checkrail Posted April 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2020 Nice water crane Robin. And what a cracking picture of 1363 at Brent - not seen that before. What's the source, and do you know of the date or circumstances of the photo? I note the buffer beam numbers are pretty small. Was this an earlier style?
