Hi Jonte,Very clever.
Very kind of you to say so but I'm only recycling bits of what others have done before.
Thanks for your interest,
Peter
Hi Jonte,Very clever.
Thanks Colin. No engineering background I'm afraid, it's all guesswork and bodgery! It is great fun to build these little gadgets and they can speed up production of components required in multiple. On reflection, it might be better if I spent more time working on the layout itself!There's nothing better than seeing someone making up jigs, winding handles and soldering up bits of brass and steel. Loving the electro magnet jig. Just up my street. I think you might have an engineering background but well done.
Colin.

I feel the same, I seem to spend more time making bits and posting on my blog than actually building a layout. I have just made a selecting mechanism for my fiddle yard, now to find the time to post about it.Thanks Colin. No engineering background I'm afraid, it's all guesswork and bodgery!

Best, Peter
Hi Adam, I have huge respect for those who can focus on a single long-term project. I just want to do a bit of everything. The RES livery has long been a favourite of mine and was my first attempt at airbrushing a loco.That's nothing if not a varied collection! Some nicely restrained weathering on the pre-Grouping wagons, I note (still relatively unusual for modellers of railways before 1923) and one of the more interesting liveries carried by 47s (which I remember from watching the TPO being loaded at Norwich c. 2000 subbing for 67s). Nicely scattergun!

Hi Colin, Thanks, hope your build goes well. Look forward to seeing the results.Oh, look at that LSWR falcon kit of a passenger brake. That is stunning. I have a couple that I must get on and build.
Colin
