She Again!

[Debs.]

Hello everyone......

Some may know me from 'another place' in railway modelling cyber-land.....for those that don`t: I now model in 7mm. finescale (although I`m a refugee from the very-early days of P4).....I`ve been modelling railways since the very-early 1970`s and over the years have dabbled in various gauges from 18.83mm., 21mm. up to 5" & 7.25".
I`m somewhat 'practical' and at my most contented in the machine shop, making swarf and just about anything else that`s useful.

I`m mad about Border Collies (I have three) and the day-job calls upon me to make big-bits of flying things; which are much heavier than air.

Hi Debs

Welcome.

I spotted the 31.5mm gauges you produced on the Templot site - very nice - and look forward to seeing what you do on WT. What are you up to in 7mm?

Thankyou Richard.....you`re too kind.
I`m modelling the surprisingly complicated junction at 'Canning Street North' (on the Birkenhead Joint Lines).......a dockland area; set in the 1920`s......I`ve recently got hold of some original super-detailed P/W dwgs. (showing special-chair castings etc. for the dbl. crossovers) so the scratchbuilt trackwork project`s getting ever more detailed and challenging......I`m having fun!

Never mind the pictures... we all know what Collies look like. Please tell about the origin, date and content of the pw dwgs..

Welcome.... no room at the back of the class at the moment, there is a Q for a seat.

Hi Richard,

As you know I have been after some 31.5mm roller gauges for a while now, and I have finally got some and also some extra special one's which I will explain about tomorrow/today ( gosh look at the time ). So a big thank you Debs for supplying the gauges and a warm welcome to the funny farm .

All the best,

Martyn.

The ringing endorsements of this Forum know no bounds, do they...??

What a wonderful first impression some of our welcomes must give - no wonder people lurk here awhile before wading in.....

It depends how you want to interpret the saying "funny farm", personally I think it sum's us up as a happy bunch of people , quite sweet really .

I'll get me coat

Hi Debs, good to see you joining us on here. I look forward to seeing your track work, I plan to venture down that route this year myself. Are you planning any more batches of gauges as I am a fine scaler myself?

Yes Rob.,
I`ve got stocks of the Specialty Gauge Products 0-MF (31.5mm. x 1.5mm.) brass roller and 1.5mm. stainless-steel slip gauges.......and I`ll be making a new batch of the 6/7/10ft. adjoining-line gauges in the next week or two.
I`m also considering a product range for other scales and specialty-interest gauges, and a line of common-crossing and blade filing fixtures etc.
Debs.
