    Nespresso order arrived today with a new flavour. Hadn’t realised they had a link with Belmond. Interesting bogie design….

    Fabulous story. Will be a nice mix of stock. Multum in parvo !!

    Thanks Alan. Beyer tanks are like that as you know. Simple squares at the back - horrendous curves at the front!!
  4. Galteemore
    Yep. Been there done that got the burnt fingers…..
  5. Galteemore
    Well done Alan. The Beyer smokebox is a thing of beauty but not easy to replicate, with those subtle curve reversals. Looks great.

    Quite agree as it happens. My early working life was spent immersed in archives and historical documents so I am rather concerned to get things right. It’s easier than ever to do that given the resources at the web’s command. Totems are fun but for my own layout fascia I avoided them and copied the actual sign…..

    How exciting! I can see some interesting operating sequences developing out of this one.

    At Tolworth show, a chap was taking commissions and would have your totem ready to take away at end of show! Mind you, can’t complain. My last workplace gave me a personalised one as a very thoughtful leaving gift.

    Excellent - and the undulating bodywork gives it a real ‘patina’ of use. Think you have a similar mantra to the US armed forces. To paraphrase…no kit left behind.

    There’s a fantastic Swedish comedy called ‘A Man Called Ove’ about a retired railway engineer. Part of the plot line involves his devotion to Saabs - as against his Volvo-owning neighbour….

    Indeed. They’ve all gone. Thank goodness - saves me resisting temptation
  12. Galteemore
    You could, although a kit for that particular one already exists in 7mm from alphagraphix
  13. Galteemore
    That’s my first thought…..pic courtesy Mike Morant. Would obs need to check dimensions

    When we lived near Luton, was always impressed by how the Great Northern pub actually had a proper GNR loco on the sign. Not difficult to do but so rare these days.

    Fabulous. That 800 really is the business.

    If she does, only one piece of music will do ….

    Now that’s pretty good to put it mildly. Good tip re the round rod for allowing a bit of meat for filing.
  18. Galteemore
    So disappointing for you. As ECM says, always worth keeping something up and running if you can - even a micro layout to keep the mojo going….
  19. Galteemore
    Looks fabulous Alan - and very good study in how to do such things. Belpaire fireboxes are great at swallowing motors.
  20. Galteemore
    Track looks so right. Excellent
  21. Galteemore
    Looks good to me!

    Not much time for modelling of late but the decision I took a year ago to build this has been vindicated. I can just switch it on and do some gentle shunting- and play around with the camera. Tonight I took Enniskillen out of her box and gave her some volts. And took a little snap.

    Shades of Marshal Foch…..’My center is giving way, my right is in retreat; situation excellent. I shall attack’. Look forward to seeing more- looking good so far!

    It’s certainly remarkable that these most Irish of locos (the nameplates and livery for instance) appeared just after the 1937 constitution, which marked a significant step in Ireland’s identity as an independent state.
  25. Galteemore
    The 400/500s are somewhat of a Cinderella it seems, often overshadowed by the 800s but incredibly capable locos when on form. Drew Donaldson certainly rated them.
