RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2019 However the Ruston is a blinder. A must have but I have no doubt the Captains example will be the standard for Hornby to reach. Thanks for the kind comment, but might there be a bit of confusionishness going on here? I've not actually built a Ruston kit, not as yet, anyway. I do have a kit of the larger 88DS to do, but my existing 48DS (in P4) was built by someone else and purchased by me, when the builder decided he didn't want it any more. Were you perhaps thinking of the Roxey Planet, old chap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) US has same problem. Ground beef called shepherd's pie. Maybe they should call it "cowboy" pie. Although that is too close to dropping the boy. Or is it adding a dropping....Lamb, sheep, mutton meat is disliked by the typical yank. Interesting. Down here, lamb is the quintessential Australian meat - a legacy of the wool business that dominated Australian economics in the late 19th/early 20th centuries - which makes the shepherd's pie situation strange.

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted January 13, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2019 Afternoon all. Quite a bit going on. The next two weeks will be busy as I make a couple of changes to Sheep Lane ahead of the show on the 26th. There will be no changes to the scenic section other than to add a few details. The fiddle yard however will be altered slightly, based on experience gained with Mutton. Nothing dramatic but hopefully it will be a bit more user friendly. Mutton will have a tidy up as well with a bit more detailing added ahead of the Yate Show which us the weekend after. Once these are attended to, I hope to pick up the pace on Defaid Mawr. The Works Forecat, as you would expect, has been supervising matters and making regular checks on proceedings. All good. Rob. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 15, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2019 Well, now that all the froth has subsided I can plan potential purchases.... Hornby - Big Peckett and a couple of brake vans. Bachmann - The 1P x a few, some wagons and possibly a Pannier but those slate buildings look intriguing.... Kernow - L&SWR road vans.......possibly another O2.... Dapol-K14 boilered B4 and the small matter of the O gauge 14xx.... That should do it..........

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 19, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2019 One week to go and Sheep Lane continues to be tweaked.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted January 20, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2019 Sheepy is ready to go now really. A couple of minor detailing bits left to do.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted January 20, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2019 You need a load inside the 16t - the lack of internal detail shows up too much. And the roof of the van is very uniform. But not bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2019 You need a load inside the 16t - the lack of internal detail shows up too much. Only because you've now drawn our attention to it! And the roof of the van is very uniform. Nothing wrong with a nice, smart uniform, don't'ja'know?

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2019 In any case, perhaps what is needed are a number of specimen wagons that feature the internal door detail, which won't receive removable coal loads? It seems to me that one way to achieve this consistently would be to make up a brass or plasticard jig, to scribe the necessary door detail in each wagon.
