    That’s a shame. I loved my Kato trains. Especially the ones that looked like GNRI railcars !!

    Crying out for a photo comparison with your 7mm one…
  3. Galteemore
    I have one and recommend it. To clarify, it’s available in both 32mm and 36.75mm gauge. Chris has also done other design work and printing for me - recommended. No connection other than happy customer.

    I used plastruct or Evergreen t-section with separately applied rivets ….

    The Anson was one of those aircraft which just proved incredibly effective at what it did, like a select few other types. The Canberra outlasted its contemporaries, and the B52 will probably hit 100 years of service. Amazing to think that when the first B52 flew, cattle trains were still running on the Tralee and Dingle. The Douglas DC-3, which dates from 1943, is still highly valued by certain specialist users.

    Looks fabulous. I know this is a temporary board, which will help you think about how to access centre of board on the ‘production version’ for track cleaning and - not that this will happen of course, derailments.

    Just a bit….got the building made just not enough room for a layout to go with it!!!

    Never thought I’d hear John’s Gospel paraphrased into modelling ! Agree with the philosophy BTW, esp when so well demonstrated

    LHR to Dover

    Galteemore replied to K801's topic in General Chat

    Heathrow Express train to Paddington. Tube to St Pancras (circle line) and catch train to Dover. Can also get trains from London Bridge, but it’s a more awkward tube journey. The UK’s ‘National Rail Journey Planner’ (Google search will find) will give you actual times etc

    Fabulous work Alan. I’d never noticed that footplate narrowing before. Thankfully the SLNC tanks avoided such complications! Soldering irons can be most distracting - wouldn’t be first time I’d plunged one into a jar of flux instead of the cleaning pot…..

    In fairness, given my fitness levels in those days, my priority was looking for oxygen when climbing those hills.
  12. Galteemore
    Wow. Having tramped up hill and dale here for years doing my Duke of Edinburgh’s award, amazed I missed this!!!

    Www.chris-draw.com is the place to go Leslie. He also does special long buffer magnetic couplings for Irish stock……;)

    He’s very amenable. I just sent him a track sample and the B2B so it’s quite possible he could knock one up!

    One of the many advantages of the 3d print world is the ease with which designs can be tweaked for niche applications. A 36.75mm rerailer is about to come online from Chris-Draw. Ideal for bogie and 6 wheel stock, which can be tricky to put on the track. First drawing attached, and a view of the 32mm gauge product to show what it will look like. Obviously one for @David Holman, @Northroaderand @leslie10646 but others may be interested too….

    Others have…the Shackleton was often described as "a hundred thousand rivets flying in close formation."
  17. Galteemore
    The aircraft had more rivets than the loco! Classic scene.

    Railtec bound to have something JB

    Celsa Steel in Cardiff was a regular sighting for me of numerous GBRF 08s, as recently as within the last twelve months. Sadly about to be replaced by some kind of Unimog yoke.

    Back in the day it was known as ‘full employment’. Seriously, could be a route famil with a traction inspector, or staff member transiting to Coleraine. Normal practice as I recall was one man in the cab - no lady drivers back then. If a route famil, the students may have been checking signal sight lines or other landmarks.

    Some very nice SLNC footage in there

    IIRC many of the NIR announcements in recent years were done by Christopher Boomer, son of late RPSI chairman Sullivan Boomer, himself an occasional BBC Radio Ulster stand-in…..
  23. Galteemore
    The situation does need stabilising
  24. Galteemore
    Thank you.

    One of identical design still exists in Brazil, albeit in original well tank form, so it would be possible to see what they are capable of….image copyright Wilson Santos
