Hello from a not too grumpy modeller!

[Mr Grumpy]

Hi everyone,
Just joined today, hoping I may contribute in the future. I am 90% through building a Peter Clark thumper at present. Will post some pics shortly

Welcome to the forum, can't wait to see another Thumper built.

I'm afraid it won't be quite up to your standards Brian, although I have 'borrowed' a few of your ideas!!

Edit for first of a series of schoolboy error spelling mistakes!

Hi Mike,
I am definitely a Western Region BR Diesel sort of chap, love Westerns Warships and Hymeks (But have a massive soft spot for the 1366 pannier tank) For some strange reason, I find myself drawn to some SR types. I love the rebuilt merchant Navy, Q1 and for some even more obscure reason, the Thumper! (Possibly from my childhood lapping up the Hydraulics and Blue Pullman at Reading General, while the thumper, well just thumped away !!
PS: my grandson calls me Grumps, and it has stuck!!

 

[Mr Grumpy]

PPS...... Part of the reason I joined was to read your account of the MOK Q1 build, and I wasn't disappointed !! Wonderful.

Hi Grumps,

I think that I must be your mirror image - having been brought up deep in SR Eastern Section territory, I now find myself with WR diesels and coaching stock as my first 'port of call' as it were. Sandite bubble cars being a special favourite, along with 22s and 35s - oh and Inspection Saloons in general.

I look forward to seeing more of your photos.

I have built two MOK Q1s



I hope like them.

cheers

Mike

[Mr Grumpy]

Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome!
As you all seem such a friendly bunch I thought it best to change my Avatar to show a smile!

Another Mr Grumpy? Listen kid, this town ain't big enough for the two of us! Welcome though!!!!

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Hi Moysie,
Sorry your illness took you away from the job you loved.
Being blind in one eye prevented me from even starting a railway career.
At least we can play with our model trains!
