    Delightful and sad simultaneously! Interesting to see nameplates have gone.
  2. Galteemore
    I believe so

    They had it but was never installed. Presumably an pre-Ailsa plan that didn’t come off.
  4. Galteemore
    Unterburg in Germany. Also had them in Bournemouth and Huddersfield

    Looks like the forecourt of the place Mrs G and I rented in D6 about 25 years ago. Could have done with a yoke like that !

    Not sure about that Noel Often pondered that a DCC module inside a spring drive loco could operate a variable governor, in addition to on/off and reverse switches. Would be one of the best ways to simulate driving a miniature steam loco, with that limited reserve of onboard power to be managed.

    Very similar in outline to the KESR Marcia - a standard gauge likeness

    Have a look on this forum for @Tullygrainey s excellent work building one
  9. Galteemore
    Pain to sort but worth doing. Looks great !

    Dremel and grinding head is a key weapon in the 5’3” modeller’s arsenal. How many mm of footplate have I ground away.,..
  11. Galteemore
    That’s great. Many thanks Alan. Always trying to up my game !
  12. Galteemore
    Looking fab Alan. Sorry to go back again, but how did you cut out the footplate aperture so neatly? David
  13. Galteemore
    Yes, if you are using something like AJ couplings. When you propel a train with AJs, the buffers have to work hard.
  14. Galteemore
    Sprung buffers are of little use with tension locks, Patrick, but with more ‘sophisticated’ coupling systems they can be quite important, as they actually absorb the shocks of train movements rather than letting the delicate couplings take the brunt. Can also be of use on curves etc.

    So sorry to hear this John. Thoughts and prayers for you and family going forwards. That was a very courageous act by your 15 year old.
  16. Galteemore
    You’re not wrong Alan. I have two loco projects in boxes ready to build with all the ‘rare’ bits already purchased and laid by. When I am planning a loco I buy wheels first, then distinctive, characterful things like chimneys and domes. That way I know it’s all laid by ready. Given how long it takes to build a loco, by the time you’ve gone from chassis to superstructure your favoured supplier may have stopped trading.

    I’m a long way from Tipperary Greater Belfast by birth but 50% of me is Co Leitrim. Took my user name from this….

    New steam loco produced by IRM/Accurascale, announced last week. Pulled trains on Cork main line 1939-c1960-ish.
  19. Galteemore
    Very short vid of PP chassis crawling with wander leads. Next job - try and fit inside the body. Clearances are tight to put it mildly….
  20. Galteemore
    There’s also lots of excellent YouTube tutorials on kit building, soldering etc.

    You might also look at his Wickham Railcar. Great way to learn the basics of bending brass (golden rule is to bend, never crease). Will give you a result fairly quickly, which you can detail as much as you want. Only 27 euro too.
  22. Galteemore
    Nice load on that PP - would have been some rather noisy chimney action when lifting 5 bogies!
  23. Galteemore
    At seventy years plus distance, you’re unlikely to get challenged on this one David! Seems like an ideal chance to let people see that deep rich lined Swilly green. Gets my vote anyway. And that delightfully elegant loco deserves it!
  24. Galteemore
    That’s looking very tasty indeed!
  25. Galteemore
    Wow just wow. Amazing how quickly you have managed to do this. Jaw droppingly good work.
