The ballast wagon is certainly coming up nicely, Keith. One additional tool which would be worthwhile investing in would be a fibreglass pen. I...
I'll give Brunel hobbies a call in the morning and see what they can do. If I can, I'd like to try get them locally to save the freight cost.
Would anyone be able to tell me the best supplier to try and get 51L sprung buffers from in Australia?
Advancing alongside the MKG, is the pair of HBWs. First up tonight was properly securing the brake V hanger. Rather than glue it down and then...
Alas the missing etch was not to be found, so a replacemtn has been made by hammering flat some 0.45mm brass wire, and once all the soldering is...
Cheers Chris. Unfortunately no joy in finding the missing etch, even after three hours of searching. An identical example of the part in question...
Sounds like you're in for a fun time, Keith. My one tip, learned from this build, would be to assemble what you can without removing the main...
Thanks Steve and Ian, but the real credit goes to my friend who drew up such beautiful etches. I'm just hoping to do them justice. Anyway, here's...
It certainly does have some ver small and fiddly parts... Probably the worst has been the hinge straps on the doors for the horse compartment,...
With a new soldering iron on the workbench, I decided tonight I would finally get stuck into something I have been wanting to try my hand at for...
Yet another wagon which has been on and off the bench at times: [img] This time it's a Shell 3110 gallon oil tank, being converted from the...
Maybe we have to send him back to school, Chris :mutley2: BTW, the front and rear vans are NHGs, an earlier form of the FHG (and IHG) vans Gary,...
For those who have never seen Petersham in the flesh, here are a few prototype photos of the station showing some of what is to be modelled[img]...
Paul, got the transport part already sorted as I'm restoring an old Holden ute along side my railway hobbies, which will serve well for layout...
That's the kind of line of thinking I'm taking in this build, Chris. First things first though, module design and prototype research. I plan to...
You're welcome Chris. Ashfield was one of the other stations which made it into the final few options for modelling, but didn't make the cut on...
Chris, the wire coils in S trucks went to the yard at Ashfield, the next station down the line. From what I've been able to find Petersham's goods...
Hi all, I thought I might as well reveal here my grander long term layout designs. It has taken quite some time, and many changes of settings,...
Thanks guys. It's been a bit of an interesting build. Paul, I definitely think I will be toning the weathering down if I build 3216. A bit too...
Just to prove I don't just build passenger cars, here is one of the projects that has been lurking on the bench, making progress over the last...
