muddys-blues Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Hi Paul the locos are looking really nice, and that trackwork will look great when it's done. Just one question, how tall are you ? Best regards Craig. Edited February 6, 2018 by muddys-blues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUS good Loco descriptions. The full 28 functions sold it for me Andy and looks pretty good when I had a quick look last night, the handsets like you say seem pretty basic but if they do the job then it’s a winner Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jintyman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi Paul, Looking good, I agree that you're going to have to have long legs top operate that layout. On another note, the ends of your baseboard where the track is, have you thought about securing the rail with something, like maybe a brass pin fixed into the wood and up through the sleeper? The track is prone to being caught, no matter how careful and good the intentions, and it will just wreck all your hard work. Chris (Too Many Spams) on here has solved the baseboard end problems with one of the most unique and well hidden ideas I've seen. Have a look a bit back through his Pencarrow thread here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/69736-pencarrow-pg255-wagons-walls-bufferstops-and-pain/ Just a thought Jinty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted March 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2018 No track building of late although I have built the three vee’s ready to fit so hopefully I’ll get a few hours next week as I’ve been working on two green cl20’s, apart from removing Maskol and adding the numbers the first ones finished. I’ve also been practicing faded paint on my own 08. Cheers 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted March 8, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2018 No track building yet but 08 finished an two cl20’s more or less finished, just waiting on numbers then I can remove the Maskol 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Nice work Paul I've just taken delivery of a cl20 and am wondering about dirtying it up a tad your work gives me something to work with. I think I was looking at them on the Weathering FB page. Oh I am a King too Initials M.R. Barnaby is a long time forum name which I have stuck with, Best EDIT: I see you live in Liverpool, I'm from Mossley Hill. Now I'm saying this I think we have had a conversation about the Garston Line into the docks earlier in these posts. It would explain why I have you tagged as one to watch, that and the Edge Lane Line your modelling. Edited March 8, 2018 by Barnaby 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
