[georgeT]

Thank you Bob, point taken thank you, should have researched more...

 

[Gismorail]

I always knew you where a bit ‘twofaced ‘ George

 

[georgeT]

Always been the same Martin, never change Hahahaha

 

[Gismorail]

Your idea is commendable considering the costs . I think the Home Bargains delivery fleet had the same idea years ago they have a split livery

 

[Pencarrow]

The green and blue SR vans would have had the same end colour - dirt.

 

[georgeT]

Thanks for that Chris, when l have finished the weathering as you say you won't be able to tell the difference Hahahaha...

Hello Andy. Very busy at the moment with 34086, making her look like l remember seeing her 'Filthy' and her tender was over filled with coal all over the place, having just returned from 'Nine Elms..

Railmatch acrylics would be a better choice Robert ?

 

[georgeT]

Well loaded with mojo after Covid? l have taken on another project and that is to build a Royal mail TPO train, l have a parcels red 47 on order and the transfers to convert her to a RES engine, and have made a start the box has been opened, Hahaha

 

[georgeT]

My latest build is an L&YR/LMS/BR 0-6-0 Class 25, Which is a Fourtrack models kit in 7mm brass

Lovely engines the 2F 'Barton Wrights'. I never saw one in BR days, but one of the Aspinal 3F's I worked on had a Barton Wright rivetted Tender.

 

[Andy P]

What Motor and Gearbox will you use George?

 

[georgeT]

l have fitted a MSC into her as l like them a lot, very nice.

 

[Andy P]

How's progress on the L & Y Class 25 and the Mail Coach George?

 

[georgeT]

In my quest to build a TPO, class 47 hauled train l have started with a NSX Postal sorting van from PR Models, which was being a bit of a challenge at first, but after having a really nice long chat with Peter Besant at Doncaster O gauge show l discovered the kit was from David Parkins from 1987 so it is a really old kit but a few helpful tips from Peter has made the job a lot easier...l have replaced the bogies with some easy-build B4s...

 

[georgeT]

After a lot of filing, banging and shoving l managed to fit the first door into place, l wanted to build a six coach train up but l'm not too sure now Hahahaha, needs a good clean and tidy up...

 

[georgeT]

Well its starting to look a bit like NSX sorting van at last

 

[georgeT]

Hi Guys, Having a break from The Fairburn tank that's taking up a lot of my time at the moment, l have made a few changes to the TPO and that is to replace the ends with some Darsted ones, plus a new roof from Ellis Clark, all shown placed lightly in position...
