Donovan Maybe but I think it's full of poshers these days, who probably aren't fans of Glaswegians. They do have a pub with Badger in the title (we'd done several before hand the last time I went there - work Xmas pub crawl, well minibus, tour).

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 23, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2017 A Caprotti Five is a Diesel, when it's oil fired. There you go. You know you want to. Would you do a Cometicus Chassis and whizzy bits to save you raiding the coat hangers again? That FY looks very exciting but the loco's are foreign. A. B.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 23, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2017 Last evening the research of coach workings, and Diagrams included in those formations, continued. Not a lot of progress though. There appear to be a limited number of relevant items on the Yahoo group but what is there is gold, pure gold and the listsing for 1961 are just what the Duck ordered. I'm in posession of part copy of a Platform and Carriage Workings Timetable from 1957/8 but it is SX and I'd like to expand on that (the missing pages) and similar items. I believe the Archives at Kew have a lot of stuff and presumably the NRM has some too? kew....too far. NRM.....easy peasy until one tries identifying whay one actually needs. Strangely I did find some decent pics of Spacifics on the WOEML that I have not seen before and weirdly, a historic account of the Loco Depot at Horsham (old Town of residence pre 36E) from an ASLEF site! Distraction to say the least. I've also got to see if there could be a 'missing' Bulleid Coach that might be coveted by SR modellers; that is, a Diagram where decent etched 4mm sides are not available anywhere. Somehow I think that's unlikely but it will be fun searching. Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you do a Cometicus Chassis and whizzy bits to save you raiding the coat hangers again? That FY looks very exciting but the loco's are foreign. A. B. Ulleid This is something on the cheap, and an exercise in building a steam loco without using a soldering iron. Unless you break a wire from the blanking plate to the pick ups, like I did. Might throw away the circuit board and hard wire the pickups to the n-gin, less to go wrong and more natural. And more room for extra weight. I brought the model to practice painting and lining steam locos so why not chop it about and make something not many others have, have fun trying to do so and then practice painting. It might inspire someone who at the moment feel they cannot make anything and that soldering iron thingy looks too scary, into making something and then gaining the confidence to have ago with a soldering iron and a metal loco. As for for foreign locos I know not one of them a native GER type. The directors are seeking a meeting with the CME to question him on the steam locomotive types employed. Especially as he has loads of good looking NBL Type 1s, BTH Type 1s, Brush Type 2s, English Electric Type 3s and 4s as well as nearly double the class of Baby Deltics. It is said some of them locos are made by proper toy train companies not thrown together by the fat bald bloke. Rest assured the steam locos are all out the box.

GRUNFOS Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Today............. I was going to learn how to solder, that will make me a proper modeler, but it sounds very dangerous, ask Tony Wright, I needed to get the manual from the bookshelf, but that is very dangerous, ask Clive, I was going to book a holiday to Australia, but that will probably be fatal, ask DURM members, So I'm popping out for a pint of heavy in Glasgow, should be pretty safe there.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 23, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2017 Today I have been mostly looking at coach kits on web sites. However, I did test my D2668 on the layout to see if the bogies cleared the UF fittings sufficiently for it to run. It did. I'm knackered after 'Doning' so I'm signing off for tonight.
