7mm Bleddfa Road

[John57sharp]

No, you've got to have the Allegro, minus its wheels on bricks!

I don't think any self-respecting Birkonian stole the wheels off an Allegro…. I mean the shame of it.

Pushed it into the dock maybe…

 

[John57sharp]

And then there's the 9F option in the same scene….hmmm Oh for the space and time for such things.

Phew ! That was close !

Geoff, your wonderful, beautifully observed modelling has done more to provoke 7mm thoughts for me than anyone else's.

Do keep it up. You might push me over the edge yet !

Rob

Er.........um.......

Several of us are trying Rob.

Well.......er......yes.....you are.....and have been for a while now....

No need for any apologies Rob, in fact you've given me an excuse to tempt you to buy one of those kits, or to take the easy option.

Go on, you know that you want one.

Best Wishes to all,
Geoff

Well, I just happened to stumble across something which prompted me to visit a particular, well known retailer and I may or may not have made a purchase..........specifically a brand new 7mm black 14xx for the princely sum of £109.95...............

I mean, that is just simply ridiculous !

Oh dear, another one tipped over the edge to the Dark Side.
Where will it all end?

 

[simond]

I hope, as fervently, that it never ends, as I hope there won’t be an Allegro…

Do you want your B4 and Iron Mink back?

I ask because Geoff used to have a Peco 16 Ton Toad kit that travelled down to me when he didn't want to do 7 mm, and then it ended up going back because he changed his mind.

It had done so many scale miles between us before he built it, that it needed to go through the works for an overhaul before turning a wheel.

Hi Ricardo,

No, I'm fine ( well......ish. See post on other thread ).

The old Toad is still in use today despite travelling down from Cheshire to Salop and back along the North and West route. It's also travelled to and from Cheshire to Conwy and back on several occasions, but these days it enjoys an easier life.



Meanwhile the bridge scene is coming along far quicker than I expected..........



From early ideas to this ............................



The river passes under the road bridge to merge into the backscene, at the moment I'm just working out the shape and dimensions of the bridge with scraps of card.

Best Wishes,
Geoff
