Re: Jynn: a 7 1/4" gauge wren

Re: Jynn: a 7 1/4" gauge wren
New van colour looks good.
Did you use the same paint range of the gloss colours you used as I can only find gloss type paint from the manufacturer you mentioned?

Hi Nomis,
What colour did you use on the chassis of your loco as it doesn't look like a gloss colour to me?

Re: Farlington & District Light Railway
I painted the pressure treated wood gravel boards I used as a base for my raised railway and then covered them with roofing felt, worked well.

I finally got round to adding the fireman although this required some reworking inside the cab (can you spot what has been moved?): IMG_20200905_162002-01.jpeg IMG_20200905_162151-01.jpeg IMG_20200905_162209-01.jpeg IMG_20200905_162256-01.jpeg IMG_20200905_162533-01.jpeg IMG_20200905_162544-01.jpeg ...

Re: Zach Bond "Momentum Van" project

Re: Diesel Outline...
Lovely Dave, runs very smooth. I like the clicking noise as well.
The mechanical lubricator on my 5" gauge loco is of the clutch type which although works well I am concerned longer term it will fail and I will end up with seized cylinders!
