Very nice. The restrained weathering really works

Very nice indeed

StuartJ

Thanks guys The FR buffer is more for show and emergency bumping really, as the actual coupling will be by a swinging clevis underneath - like the Corris coaches. I would like to move the bogies further out, but a combination of the severe tumblehome and me removing a slice of the body means that th...

I had some time at the start of summer to make a start on the Bachmann tram conversion. Here's the inspiration, from the short-lived Plynlimon & Hafan Tramway:- https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw5wia6z2qzv7xVZK_RY2AP6BuXOTT10ZLNXUbwmoY4xPxFzznNnzF_4Q1xVp5rTiU0dQ8gUA8ro...

At Clarach, for some reason (because I don't actually have a quarry, perhaps??!) So time to stop messing about with fancy observation cars for the pampered public, and get yourself a quarry built and properly generate some revenue!! :lol: :lol: I am sometimes tempted to flog Russell, the Baldwin et...

Looking very nice.
Personally I like them in maroon, but in your period I reckon they probably would have Stephens green. Rule 1 applies though!

StuartJ

Very nice. The third photo in particular is very evocative of the real thing.

StuartJ

Excellent photos. Most atmospheric!

StuartJ

Excellent progress

StuartJ

Very nice.

Very nice!

I haven't used one, but there is also the Boot Lane Works chassis:

I'm sure you could replace the motor with a similarly sized 12v one if desired.

StuartJ

Thanks all. After fafing about with the DeWinton for so long I just wanted to build this one as intended and get it done!

StuartJ

I started this project before Christmas but then the modelling mojo abandoned me for a while so I've only just finished it off. This is the excellent Loco Remote kit ( https://www.locoremote.co.uk/3dprints.html ) for the Brush Battery Electric Locos supplied to the Ministry of Supply during WWI. The...

An ingenious design with the alloy substructure - very interested to see how this develops.

StuartJ

Very nice work on the railcar. Instantly recognisable.

StuartJ

I remember seeing the layout around the local shows - I always liked the overall roof at the station. I had forgotten about Toucan completely though!

StuartJ

Interesting. I had seen photos of those dropside waggons before, but I hadn't realised how big they were! I had always assumed they were slate waggon sized.

StuartJ

Very nice. Shades of Princess in the last few months of working in 1946.
