Ordered this afternoon with thanks.
A fun winter awaits...

Hallo again Guy.
Did you ever get around to drawing up 9' wheelbase brake gear with reversible shoes?
I would certainly purchase a significant number for PO wagons and such.

Nice......

Progress down by "the ditch..." 2019-03-20-20-29-30.jpg 2019-03-20-20-35-36.jpg This project had been stalled due to my inate dislike of soldering - I was badly burnt as a wee boy... Having contrived to make a mess of the brake gear, sorry Justin, I have used some of Guy Rixon 's 3d brakes...

Ooop, better get the cash flow sorted then...

A wee addendum to the protocol for creating that battered bare wood look that I like so much. In addition to the various Lifecolor acrylic paint sets for wood, worn wood, ageing wood, etc; a critical part of the process now is using a very specific primer. AK Interactive do a Grey Primer/Microfille...

Thank you for the comments gents.
The process for weathering is an art to me; it evolves and develops with experience and thought.
Again, take a look at what the military modelling world gets up to. The techniques are transferrable and developing.

Deepest sympathies to all.
Colin was kind enough to pass on praise and encouragement to me on a number of occasions. A gifted modeller and a true gentleman.

iak

Excellent stuff and indeed, well done to all.
The gauge frankly has never worried me, not when the standard of the layout is so high.
I'm actually Glasgow bound as I type this, I'd better make some proper plaudits known...

More activity at Padgate works. 2019-02-04-20-31-09.jpg 2019-02-04-20-28-20.jpg This Medfit has those wonderful 3d brakes Guy Rixon produces once more - in this case, the RCH 10ft variant. Easy to use and they look fantastic. The vacuum cylinder and the buffers are from Dave Franks' LMS range The ki...

Thanks Will. I guess it will be 'horses for courses'. The screw couplings on planned fixed rakes can be sized to suit best running, whereas links that are frequently coupled / uncoupled need to be easier to loop over the hook as you suggest. Iain - like the idea of using pencil leads. I ended up us...

iak

The coupling up is part of the game Jim...
And as for complaints ? News to me, I'll discuss this with my learned colleagues.

iak

The long etch is useful for that added length. A purest might wish to us the short mind. I do not spring the coupling as I simply do not find it necessary on my stock. Running stock on Mostyn, we have tried to keep to basics and that appears to work - sprung drawbars "can" be a source of t...

I thought we had reached seasons end with all this misplaced nonsense about Los Marillos... However, I FEAR some will always be clutching at straws with regards to the past and not be brave enough to move on. My marbles are well known for being wonky but this band continue to thrill with their sound...

iak

More to add to the shopping list then...
A veritable Scottish overload...

Nice...

Some further Grampi are being brought to fruition here at "Padgate Works," some featuring some rather tasty brake gear frae Guy Rixon of this abode... 2019-01-23-16-25-11.jpg Another unfitted Grampus here, showing the brake gear that Guy kindly produced after my prompting. Very effective a...

The J72 (short bunker) will be shipping within days. The long bunker needs to have the instructions finished, then it too will be released. Give me a couple of weeks for that. I will send a PM when it is ready.

Better find my cheque book then methinks...

Nuff said... Onwards I say.
Even my wife is impressed, now that "is" worth using maybe
