Don't forget to set the heater controls to the off position if they will be running round Simon's line in the summer   

 

[lancer1027]

Or leave them in the "ON" position for our summers

Rob :wave:

 

[Phill Dyson]

Will you be putting a few people in them & maybe suitcases, newspapers & cups etc ?...........all those empty seats might look noticeable in 10mm  :scratch:

Rob :wave:

Fair point

A quick session first thing this morning saw the final truss in position

[attachimg=1]

[attachimg=2]

Im really enjoying this, it is a very satisfying size to work with.

 

[Ressaldar]

you are beginning to sound as if you're hooked and that the 105 was the last 7mm build and tempting others to follow you

cheers

Mike,
there are other 7mm builds lined up  but as someone who is primarily a builder it is a lovely size to work in, you would love it  8)

 

[Ressaldar]

I'm very tempted, I saw a 22 a few years ago and have been dreaming about one ever since - one day perhaps.

cheers

Mike

Ill be all over a 9f as soon as it comes out  ;D

only 1 with that number of the tender options I would have thought at least three

cheers

I have to say, Mike, having been there, that if you are primarily a builder interested in locos and stock, then 1:32 is spot on.

Don't try it unless you are prepared to be hooked!

How will you run a 1:32 9F on an 0 gauge layout?

 

[Ressaldar]

I was a member of G1MRA for a couple of years - could well rejoin and put the proverbial toe in the water - I used to like course fishing as well by the way.

Progress has slowed a little as trying to track down some details on BR1 bogies so I can add more detail.  I have the drawings in Parkin but if anybody knows of any others........

 

[28ten]

I had a big laser job on today so I cut a test partition out of some  scrap. it is a mk1 profile reduced by the body thickness.
[attachimg=1]

Now I know it fits, I will amend the drawing to include the corridor and light fittings etc. I need to do something similar for the 105 when it comes back, but in Rowmark. Yes Rob, the profile should be good for the Easybuild MK1  ;D

 

[iploffy]

What a good idea, can the same be done with Mk2's eh Joda

Certainly can, along with glazing.

perhaps you should also send one to Heljan (and Tower Models) so that they can correct their Mk1 profile for the BGs that are due out sometime.

cheers

I need to adjust the 'warp factor' but this is a quick blast with some markers for the mirror and lights. Im actually investigating some Mahogany veneer http://www.mcb-supplies.co.uk/MAHOGANY_%28South%20American%29.htm  to cut and stain
