Delph - 2-6-2 tank trucks Source: Dave Holt's Blog | 7 Mar 2010 | 9:26 am UTC
Philbax was asking about the Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2 tanks which appeared in some recent photos. The Ivatt is an as yet unmodified Bachman body on a chassis based on the Comet kit, with some additional detail and the valvegear modelled in forward rather than mid gear. The chassis is compensated as an 0 ....
VolkerRail, The End Source: Eastmoor | 7 Mar 2010 | 12:06 am UTC
Friday marked my last day with VolkerRail; made formally redundant. Not a nice way to end your time with a company at all, and sadly I am not the only one either. Uncertainty is something which does really get to me; although I'm odd and like to have variety and not always know exactly what is in st ....
Chassis progress Source: Beer and Buckjumpers | 6 Mar 2010 | 6:56 pm UTC
Well, although I haven't posted anything for a couple of weeks, I've been busy with the Pug and a few other things - of which more anon - so I'm not going to go through a blow by blow build of the chassis.  Rather, this will be a picture essay, with a few comments where appropriate.Where I left ....
Barrow Road Roundhouse Update 1 Source: barrowroad's Blog | 6 Mar 2010 | 12:58 pm UTC
I have added the rest of the templot track plans and added a few locos for atmosphere - most of them are still in RTR state and will need chassis conversion to P4. The templot is in need of some tweaking as it was done with a 55ft turntable inside the roundhouse before I discovered that a 60ft Cowan ....
CRAGgies' Doings Source: clecklewyke | 5 Mar 2010 | 10:56 am UTC
The latest meeting of the Cumbrian Regional Area Group was at Brian Lewis’ house in Windermere, when five of us and two wives met. After fighting our way across the mainĀ  road to Ambleside (it’s surely immoral for tourists to bring cars into the Lake District?) and walking to a super p ....
Barrow Road Roundhouse Update Source: barrowroad's Blog | 5 Mar 2010 | 8:25 am UTC
I collected the shed building from Chris at the Watford Show and have now had a chance to have a trial assembly of the building on the boards...... here are a few photos.  ....
Delph - Electrics - first test Source: Dave Holt's Blog | 4 Mar 2010 | 5:58 pm UTC
Powered up the wiring of the first board using various jump leads to connect 16 V AC, a hand-held Pentroller and a second controller to swith the point motor. Ran my part finished Ivatt Cl 2, 2-6-2 tank up and down the platform road, then transferred everything to the loop road. This has a point giv ....

Delph - electrics begin Source: Dave Holt's Blog | 2 Mar 2010 | 6:25 pm UTC
Have started to do some of the electics under the board I currently have at home. Frighteningly slow progress and vast quantities of wire being consumed - and this is one of the more simple boards, with only one point and one AJ uncoupler (not yet started). I dread to think what the station throat b ....
Quiet on the 4mm scale front Source: 4mm scale agonies | 2 Mar 2010 | 12:02 pm UTC
Just in case you're wondering if I've dropped off the face of the earth . No I haven't. I'm working on some stuff in T scale 1:450 including the worlds first scratchbuilt piece of T scale freight stock this 65' mill gondola is only 45mm long ....

The Mountsorrel Railway Project Source: Eastmoor | 27 Feb 2010 | 11:03 pm UTC
We had a VolkerRail visit to The Mountsorrel Railway Project which is concerned with rebuilding part of the branch between Mountsorrel Quarry and the Great Central mainline at Swithland Sidings. The quarry also had a branch to the Midland Mainline and built the connection the the GC when they won th ....
Barrow Road Source: barrowroad's Blog | 24 Feb 2010 | 5:19 pm UTC
It has been a while since I was able to post anything so here is an update of work done over the past week. I have managed to lay exactoscale 5mm foam on the three end boards, add the templot trackplan as an overlay and finally lay the track on the main line. This end of the layout is where the main ....
RCH 7 Plank Wagon (Pt.4) Source: Grogley Junction | 23 Feb 2010 | 11:50 pm UTC
I have been undecided whether to have Morton Brake Gear on both sides or just one side on this wagon. The old packet of 9ft Brake Gear produced by Kenline contains two identical castings. I was sure that, while this might be OK for independent brake gear fitted to wagons with bottom doors, for this  ....
Field Trip! Source: 4mm scale agonies | 23 Feb 2010 | 7:52 pm UTC
Anytime you can find a return plane ticket between the USA and the UK for under $1000 you snap it up. So I did.Got to wait 6 months for the flight mind. But for sure one thing I will be doing will be heading up to Saltfleet Haven and taking some pictures for atmosphere.We arrive August Bank Holiday  ....
1968 Model Railway News Source: Grogley Junction | 20 Feb 2010 | 11:33 pm UTC
I have been putting together an order for bits and bobs from ABS Models. To work out what I might need in the foreseeable future I've been trying to track down information on wagons that are in my 'to build' box. In a previous clear out of old magazines I'd saved cuttings with articles of anything I ....
Now where was I? Source: Beer and Buckjumpers | 19 Feb 2010 | 9:02 pm UTC
After a rather busy couple of weeks with things both work, and non-work, I've a moment to catch up with progress.  At the start of February, I'd got to the stage where the cab interior was nearly completed and I simply had a few details to attach to the firebox back.As with all of the kit that  ....
Paid up Source: 4mm scale agonies | 19 Feb 2010 | 7:24 pm UTC
Ironically, I was working on a 1:450 scale (T scale) model of a midwestern grain elevator and I realised that I hadn't renewed my subscription for the S4 society yet. So I quick as a flash got online and did it. Got to love being able to do these things online. Two minutes and it was done just like  ....
Too busy! Source: Beer and Buckjumpers | 17 Feb 2010 | 7:01 am UTC
To write things up, that is!  There has been much modelling going at home, but not much spare time to write this blog up :-(On the Pug, the cab is finished, and one day so will be my notes, and there has also been baseboard shaped activity as well, taking advantage of a quiet weekend.  Mor ....
RCH 7 Plank Open Wagon (Pt.3) Source: Grogley Junction | 16 Feb 2010 | 11:55 pm UTC
Modelling time during the last couple of weeks has been minimal as I've been busy putting a lot of redundant railway and wargaming stuff on ebay. This is to declutter and help to raise a little cash for this project.This evening, however, I earmarked a little time to progress the RCH wagon and had a ....
Barrow Road Boards update Source: barrowroad's Blog | 14 Feb 2010 | 11:09 am UTC
It's a while since I did any work on the boards, so with the temporary lull in work on the shed buildings I decided to spend some time on the boards. The last work was cutting the styrofoam to produce the incline base on the boards north of Barrow Road road bridge. It is at this point that that incl ....
Work and play Source: Eridge Mk 2 - rebuild of a P4 layout | 13 Feb 2010 | 8:03 pm UTC
I made one of my too occasional visits to the KAG clubroom on Thursday to see how the rest of the team were getting on. It was a full turnout and so there was no room for everyone to work on the track. Instead we see Mike's J class again, but in video this time: http://www.youtube.com/user/video1 ....
Delph - a step(s) in the right direction..... Source: Dave Holt's Blog | 12 Feb 2010 | 9:42 pm UTC
After the electrifying excitement of wiring the board and actually driving a loco up and down, it's back to the coal drops, plastic and solvent. Mmm...., does smell quite nice - no, not really! Anyway, the steps up the side of the retaining wall have been made and fixed in place. Unfortunately, thes ....
Modern Locomotives Illustrated Source: Eastmoor | 12 Feb 2010 | 8:40 pm UTC
To lift my mood a bit and give me something to think about other than job hunting, I bought my first copy of Modern Locomotives Illustrated - the appeal of Class 47s very much influencing my decision! It seems to be hard to find in East Yorkshire though - I bought this at WH Smiths in Kingswood, and ....
