Where did it all begin? Earliest Photos of you Railway related.
Darius43 replied to Georgeconna's topic in Letting off Steam
As a follow up, my paternal Grandfather was a permanent way engineer and later inspector for the Great Indian Peninsula Railway as witnessed by this photo of a trial assembly taken in 1945. My Grandfather is sitting to the left on the inspection trolley. Cheers Darius

Actually I know that the body is scratch built as I scratch built it myself from plasticard sheet with paper and cardboard bracing and stiffeners when at University in Bristol. Interesting to know about ERG. Cheers Darius

Found in the same old shoebox as the 1973 tube driving coach. Scratch built body on a metal Triang wagon chassis. I think a friend and I bought a few of these chassis for peanuts at Beatties in Bristol Broadmead in 1985. Cheers Darius

Just found this in an old shoebox. Scratch built in plasticard about 35 years ago. Cheers Darius

The lower double track section of the upper scenic level has been extended around the western end of the shed. The curves were spaced to permit the Rapido APT-E and Oxford Railgun to pass on opposite tracks without clashing.* We have had made a loco running-in/testing station to our own design in laser cut plywood. Cheers Darius * As happened more frequently than you think in real life. Not a lot of people know that…

It is indeed. Inspired by an article in the latest Hornby mag. The article used 3D printed body but I thought it’s flat-sidedness would make it relatively easy to make from plasticard. Cheers Darius

Painting completed. Just awaiting decals (Fox) and buffers (Lanarkshire). Cheers Darius

Dunrivetin… Cheers Darius

Second wagon painted. Cheers Darius

Hi DJ, The bogies are the original IFM resin bogies supplied with the model. I added brass rods and actuator arms to the vacuum brake cylinders that were already moulded as part of the wagon chassis. Cheers Darius

Decals and weathering applied to the fertilizer wagon. Cheers Darius

Received this morning - Niu Models LNER Ammunition Wagon kit. 3D printed and a joy to build. Built to accompany Oxford Rail’s Gladiator rail gun. Cheers Darius

Hi Leslie, I have built two of them so far. I came across the box with the spoil wagon kits when I found the two MIR fertiliser wagon kits. I had better get back to finishing them - plus an unfinished Watford DC EMU - plus an unfinished LMS Clerestory Coach - plus another Brown Van in NIR maroon - plus… Cheers Darius
-
Painted. Decals and weathering next. Cheers Darius

I found two of these MIR Fertiliser Wagon kits in a cardboard box with no instructions. Assembled one wagon today with additional plasticard bits to the under-chassis truss work. Not sure what these parts are..? Cheers Darius
