MrWolf Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I'm not sure whether to laugh at that or be irked that anyone thinks I'm old enough to be referred to as 'Bob', or that I was involved in building the Austin Ambassador... I did try topping one up with water from a hose once, the misfire worsened and water trickled out of the exhaust. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted March 15, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2022 I've not attempted to use PVA to represent water, but having used it for glazing, I concluded that not all bottles so labelled contain stuff that behaves the same. Some dries clear and some dries "milky", so it's best to experiment before committing to anything important. John 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not sure what I'll use in the harbour, there are so many products available now. Right now I'm favouring using a two part epoxy, the type used to make novelty table tops. Glass Cast 3 clear epoxy resin. When the time comes I'll do plenty of tests anyway I'm sure. I think that this thread in another forum looks reasonable, about halfway down the page. https://www.westernthunder.co.uk/threads/pottery-quay-em-test-track-shunting-plank.7735/page-3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyS Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hi Rob. Did you ever receive the replacement for the replacement of the last Dapol Terrier? Have I missed a 'replacement' out? I've rather lost track. Rodney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever receive the replacement for the replacement of the last Dapol Terrier? Have I missed a 'replacement' out? I've rather lost track. Rodney Morning Rodders, Your post was very timely. Short answer is no. I returned the last one to Dapol on the 8th March and with everything going on at present*, it slipped my mind. That was until I nipped into the Room of Doom and that jogged my memory. I emailed Dapol yesterday and received a reply this morning. Apparently due to crossed wires their end it hadn't been sent out and will go today................... I will update accordingly when it arrives......... Rob. * Latest disaster is a potentially huge problem with Sheep 2 which is our main form of transport and one which won't be confirmed for a few days yet............. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted March 18, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2022 In certainly something of a more upbeat tempo, I've taken delivery of two more Hornby 08 shunty types today. In what was a very reasonable exchange on ebay with a seller who turned out to be a fellow RmWebber, I now have a plain green 09 and another example of a waspy 08. Both run extremly well and came, by agreement, fitted with Kadees. One or the other will be re-numbered as a Class 10 for reasons that I will elaborate on at the time of doing. The 09 has had some light weathering applied and it looks as if this will be a good base for some additional 'distressing'. Here's a photo and my thanks to Clan Mcadder aka James for a jolly nice transaction. Rob. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would, of course, be entirely permissible, and appropriate, to practice on a Bachy version of the 350. We could even contrast and compare. Just don't ask me to do the photos, there was a storm related incident adjacent to Blue Anchor (WSR), and the SLR no longer wishes to play.
