4mm Chris' Trainsets

[Chris Nevard]

Another shot at MRL, which is pushing the realms of reality a little! Secret test runs most likely! The irritating monsters than drink in the pub would almost certainly have needed mother to come and pick them up with all the excitiment.

It's a nice toy chuffer, but I do hope that at least one buyer of one of these will add a little patina to calm the colour down a bit. None of the reviews have mentioned the mould line (which is not on the real thing), which I think could be tricky to remove without messing up the paintwork. However it's a delightful model which I hope will transfer into sales - just imagine one of these flying across the Vale Scene at Pendon.....

Youll have to excuse my ignorance that doesnt look like the Triang BP is it the new one?

 

[Chris Nevard]

The Pullman is the new one, I borrowed it for 20 mins at Model Rail Live... it's actually longer than the little layout I took!

Below some Tilig track (HO) - I actually think it looks very good, and there is scope to cut the webbing to allow a little gentle flexing with the pointwork. You have to treat the points like hand built ones with latching and frog polarity.... The nice chaps at International Models allowed me to borrow the points here for these snaps when at Warley 2010..

Very arty-farty Now if that was a Dub Dee, I'd think it was a Colin Gifford shot

A little later on in the day 30587 was spotted under the watchful eye of the local bobby...

That last pic would look nice with a heavy weathered 08.

Yesterday one of the cats got up onto Cement Quay and had a play with some of the loose loaded wagons, rather than curse, I thought that to be honest it would be tricky to stage something as effective these derailed wagons. The Ruston Bucyrus was used to tip the wagons back upright later in the day.

Blimey, even your cats have got a good eye for a photograph

Bit of a cat-astrophy

 

[Chris Nevard]

RB: the very early ones were dull colours like this one which is a pre-war design, the later ones were often cream and red
Cats: Butter wouldn't melt.....

But Stone Tipplers would tipple....

 

[Simon]

A classy couple of cats indeed

Brewhouse Quay was all Fleur's idea - here she is deciding how the buildings should be laid out...

And checking my iffy carpentry - she has good reason though!

And checking that I'm adding the slates correctly to the Catcott crossing cottage...

 

[Dog Star]

Jordan, the idea of Fleur-de-Tiddle looking so demur whilst restrained by CA is a wonderful thought, thank you.

OK, just one more snap of my eager helper (the soldering iron is not plugged in btw)....
