This project has come on quite a bit since the last update. The first job was to create a chassis with running gear, so the work on the interior could begin. The sides have been strengthened and completed droplights fitted, along with the smaller side windows. Painting of the cream panels has been c...

5 inch gauge bug box
the latest project goes up a few scales. helping build a 5 inch gauge line at the nearby nene valley railway has made me think about having a go at building a scale piece of rolling stock to go on it. A bug box seemed like a good idea. Drawings were scaled up from 7mm ones and the parts were kindly ...

During the past year I haven't done much in the way of 16mm, however my grandads rebuilt ogwen and a run at bressingham at the weekend provided the inspiration needed to have a go at weathering it, based on my previous attempts at the earl. the results are below... http://img845.imageshack.us/img845...

oh yes, i'm getting mixed up, but surely it would have been painted sometime between the 1890's (when they were supposedly painted a lighter red) and the col stephens era? so maybe this is in fact a varnished 'yellow' carriage instead. i've looked at some pictures and it apppears that either 19 or 2...

I've not heard that before but it could be possible. I believed that the two toned pickering was the 'yellow' and chocolate one with the other being green, then the 'yellow' one was repainted grey at some point as it looks a slightly darker shade, maybe it was just revarnished without the dark edgin...

I found those details very interesting, especially as I hadn't seen some of those photos before. As for Old van no.2 I thought i read somewhere that it was varnished giving a 'yellow' appearence with chocolate paneling, just like one of the pickering brakes on the whr during the rainbow era. Of cour...
