Cracking set-up, @Niles! Under the weather? Hungover or vitamin D deficiency?

OBB HOe layout "Connafeld"
DJ Dangerous replied to Georgeconna's topic in Continental European Modelling
Looks stunning, @Georgeconna! -
Thanks, @ttc0169. Just trying to lay it all out better, today. Wasn’t happy with how tight it all was, but hadn’t the space to do any better. No probs, @Sea Breezer. It’s a Best Choose Hino cement mixer with the body removed, and a Tiny City body sitting on the bed instead. The Best Choose ones appear on eBay once a year or so, but usually stupid money.

Got to where I wanted to be yesterday, but shouldn’t have lifted that Kallax off the wall alone. Not sure what they weigh with the doors in, but it felt like lifting a person off the wall. I’m too old for that lark. Billy’s now need to be fixed to the wall and everything needs to be spaced out to de-clutter, but there’s no heavy lifting left for this weekend.

The bases of the cubbyholes were in much worse condition than the ceilings, so I’ve flipped them to see if they last another few years. The management team seem to approve so far.

The good old glue ‘n’ screw.

Here we go again:

JSV 2FG1 20’ no. JSVU-7326580 near enough to IKEA Sur today.

Cats or models?

The little and large pairs:

The stainless steel lips that we used to support the Kallax units on the walls did a stellar job. Scrubbed up almost like new, too, Both lower Kallax units removed and the corners scrubbed and bleached and scrubbed again. Off to IKEA Sur in the morning to collect the feet for the Kallax, then we get the big one off the wall, and then start slotting the Billy’s into place. Have a special parcel here from @murphaph that has been waiting for these units a long time!
-
One side well and truly scrubbed, one Kallax moved to a temporary home, apparently with the boss’s seal of approval, now onto the other side.
-
Looooooot of scrubbing to do before the Billy’s can slot into place!
-
Finished with seconds to spare.
-
Getting there but the clock is ticking. 45 minutes and I have to leave!

Wasn’t that easy to find. Was waiting a few years before Conforama had them on sale, but I had known what I wanted, and that somebody would eventually sell something similar. It’s lasted a surprisingly long time, must be at least seven or eight years on the go, now.
-
Thanks, @Rob. Time to get cracking (hopefully not literally) on the second 80cm Billy. Also, have to get to IKEA Sur to collect the feet for the Kallax at some stage.
-
Couldn’t resist picking one of these up, wrong bodywork or not, as they were so cheap.
-
I’d be more concerned about the buyer - probably getting a divorce for Christmas.

Or at least two big O Gauge diesels from Rails if Sheffield!

Finished at over a grand…

For now, we’ll brand this one a success. Second one will have to wait until tomorrow.
-
This one does appear to have worked out. Just a bit more assembly and then onto the second one.

Under the boss’s watchful eye...
