BSK W34149


FK W13074 with B4 Bogies

and yes they are different colours on each side.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

I keep thinking about painting wagons/coaches a different colour on the reverse side, it's a great idea, but I just can't bring myself to do it!

 

[Compton castle]

They look superb! Can't wait to get hold of them
Thanks again

Just a paint job on this one.

Now back with it's owner.

Things have been quiret on the coach building side so I got this out off the queen shelf......

100 points if you can tell me, Livery, Number and name. (and yes I have already picked them)

 

[mth]

As there are no takers, it's going to be 47721 in res livery.

Anyway, in a mad attempt to fend off my MOJO leaving again, I desided to make a list of the kits that have stalled and been shoved into the shelf.
7 xEm, 17 xO, 1 O-16.4 and 1x O-14 kits later, I wish I hadn't started.

Desided to get these 3 out for another go


Some things are better left on the shelf.........................

 

[oldravendale]

They look like things of beauty so get started on them before the mojo flees again. You're so close to having them done it's a real shame to put them back on the shelf like that.

Brian, i would say they are about 50% done. The 9F needed a new cab as i hassed up the old one. The 2MT has had its frames and running gear rebuilt about 4 times. The Black 5 has been the steady one, just needs me to get my finger out to finnish them. Just got nowere to run them.

 

[oldravendale]

Yep, I understand about the "nowhere to run them" scenario. I'm still building though, albeit painfully slowly. Fortunately I can run my creations at club where there is plenty of rolling stock to test them out.

9F cabs are not easy, along with most Standards I understand, although I've only built the one. Mine took a lot of effort to get right, but it looked OK in the end. I've no experience of the 2MT, although my Black 5 took loadsa time, due mainly to it being an ancient Oakville kit with white metal valve gear. Making a set of slidebars from scratch took me far too long, but as my first ever bit of scratch building I suppose that's not too surprising.

It's the first 50% that's the difficult bit

I like the 47’s in RES!

Brian

And the 2nd 50% is just as difficult, especially with a mojo that likes it's time away.........

I like the 47’s in RES!

So would I, must get it finished someday.

With my Mojo trying to excape, the wife has gone and smuggled a new wagon into the house.

From Little Western.
Last new one for a little while due to lack of money.

 

[mth]

First post of the New Year.
So Happy New Year to all.
To prove I've not been idle here is an Easybuild FO modified into RFO.
Just required new tables, partitions and loose seats.



Just requires light weathering.

 

[mth]

Now add the RU. Again just finning touchs to be do.

 

[mth]

The pair together.

 

[Compton castle]

They look superb!!!

 

[mth]

Another quick competition


How many non Easybuild bogies are in the box?
