Hi All,

EDITED 26th July 23;35

Over the next week or two i will be embarking on a big project: A Goods Yard/Quarry Crane

The Crane will be mounted on a Binnie Tipper Chassis', i have changed my mind after seeing the size of the crane to some of my other stock, the crane would be used to move around goods in the yard or down at the quarry

Enjoy

P.S the Breakdown Train Idea isnt all over at all, its just been put back for another day

Hi All,

Over the next week or two I will be embarking on quite a big project: A Breakdown Train

It will include:

A Crane,
A Flat Wagon/Match Truck,
Tool Van,
a Jib Support Wagon.

These will all be built on Binnie Tipper Chassis' as i currently have 5 left  :D

Can anyone think of anything I have left out?

Enjoy

Lots of timbers on the match truck (for propping the crane up and getting stuff back on the track) and a set or two of re-railing ramps.

A staff van for making tea in & keeping out of the rain! Now that might be a challenge on a binnie chassis though...

Yeah it does sound like a challenge, someone else suggested the staff/mess van on another forum, i think if i were to do it, it would have to be just a van, as you wouldnt be ablbe to put all that detail into it,

i forgot about the re railing ramps!  :D

Now im having second thoughts by looking at the size of the crane  :(, i would love to see it haul up the new VoR stock which will be arriving soon  because i dont think it would in real life!!

It may just possibly be a small crane used around the yard for goods or down at the quarry for shifting materials  :(

Thanks for the Ideas Guys

PLEASE SEE EDITED FIRST POST AS THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

Hi All,

Sadly ive scrapped the Crane idea for the moment, but i will get around to doing it one day . I Started another new project today and its the most complex one to date, an IP VoR Matchboard Guards Van

So heres what you get:
The Destructions

The 2 Coach Sides


The Ends

The Floor and Solebars

Footboards, Window Frames, Guards Ducket sides and roof strengthning beam

Axleboxes + Bearings and Gaurds Ducket Sides and Top

Door Vents and Door Handles

Buffers/Couplings and Wheels

Stepboard Hangers and Glazing


This should keep me busy for a long time I not sure on colour yet, but may just be green like the other large stock

Cheers

Tom
