Re: Gauge One Rolling Stock in 1:32 scale

Wagons and coaches are good, looking forward to the GWR stuff, will there be a rake of chocolate and cream? This year I've probably done 10 times more gauge 1 projects for people ranging from painting figures to building an entire railway, It does make a change and should give me a bit of impetus to...

These are card kits from a company called Toys we once had. They are for scalextrix which just so happens to be 1/32 scale, FIL is now on the hunt for suitable period scalextrix cars.

Re: Projects for father in law

Hi all,

Last for a while (until I get some more things to build).
Tenmille signal kit, with a distant knocked up from spares.
Hopefully I can get a bit done on my Corris No. 3 now.

Re: Projects for father in law

Hi Grant,

It came precut in plastic, but did need a bit of sandpaper to all of the grooves.
I reckon you could sell metres of the fascia on its own!

Re: Projects for father in law

Hi all,

Thank you for all the nice comments.
Next I have been building a Brunel Models waiting shelter. It's been painted into LMS colours even though it's a GWR design. It will be varnished.
Apparently I have two more of the single sided version on the way.

Regards

Re: Projects for father in law

Hi Rik, I've painted a lot of warhammer figures so it comes from that, I have a 40 odd acrylic citadel paints and washes, but you can just mix colours up. These aren't as natural as I normally do, they have a bit more contrast as they will be viewed from a distance. Wash in soap (removes release age...

Projects for father in law

Hi all, I am now on Furlough for at least the next 3 weeks. I was planning on completing the valve gear for my Corris no 3 but the FIL has a few little projects he wants done. I tried to convert him to narrow gauge, but he wanted something to remind him of the LMS around Liverpool when he was a lad....

Re: Cutting Peco track

And needle files to tidy up, diamond coated work well.
Or you could just use a cut off wheel in a dremel.
Fishplates aren't very good, would using thermex work in 16mm?

2019 16mm Show

Had a great day, lots of new shiny things. Didn't seem to be many MOTY entries though, might enter next year, almost guaranteed a win if there's only one entry!
