    • First, I hope that Mum is as well as can be? Yes, you were missed. Did you arrange for your replacement - an American logging layout - I've forgotten the name, although I voted for it as the most appealing layout - who wouldn't have with Shays, Climaxes etc? Look forward to seeing the Quay elsewhere!
    • The October gallery is updated with:  Wednesday 16th October 2024: In Dublin for an Irish Railway Record Society talk with a few pictures from Heuston and Abbey Street. Thursday 17th October 2024: A quick sortie to Cork today with a trip to Midleton to see the initial progress on the project to redouble the track on the single line branch.

    • Apologies Kelvin! Had to visit my 93 year old mother and could not get back in time. It was going to be my 125th show, but the first time in all the years of exhibiting that I've had to pull out. Was able to give the organisers a week's notice, but guess I should have posted something here.  Northport Quay's next outing will be at the To!worth Show train in early November.
    • Arrived at lunch time today, all present and correct - Danke DHL!  ( ... and Rails too of course 🙂)
    • Hi Musdy, There isn't really a chassis as the body shell is in two parts, top and bottom. These were together for both the reprofiling of the nose end to taper it and also to the nose off also. I used a razor saw to mark out along the mould line that shews where the joint is and then worked around the groove to cut the nose off. The bulk head is attached to the bottom piece and is filled behind with Milliput to strengthen it and will be glued and filled once the body shell is finally fixed. I did take the bogies off although they were reattached to work out the buffer heights. This is what I'm working from: https://www.apt-p.com/APTNoseEnd.htm As may be seen it has both photographs and a decent diagram. Gibbo.
