Flying Scotsman 4472

When its flying past on the layout Fran 3' away you might never notice

Nice photo here http://chrisplayfair.smugmug.com/popular/2452466573_2nvCSBG#!i=2452466573&k=2nvCSBG&lb=1&s=L

I think this is the one you want http://www.ehattons.com/35914/Hornby_R4480_Pullman_1st_Class_Kitchen_Car_Minerva_Matchboard_type/StockDetail.aspx

No no you got that all wrong mate. You get her in doors to walk down the bottom of the yard and catch it for you. Don't forget the HP brown sauce.

@ cg-antrim The old hornby mk3s are the wrong length. As for the vinyl over lays I personally don't like them

Four tracks instead of two. That's double the fun Fran

You should make an offer on it Fran a nice little love nest and real trains at the bottom of the yard. What more could you ask for=))

Looking good Noel

Would be nice only for the caravan halt across the road

Fran (staying on topic) will you be painting her in a clean condition looking at the photos I think she would look well weathered up like the SD7 I posted up in the video.

Thanks for that info Alan. I'm making another platform and I'll post up some pictures of how to do it soon.

Yes I know I have photo's of her in the shed getting rebuilt. What I'm saying is the cosmetic changes have made a big difference to the over all look of the loco.

Agreed Seamus the more I look at the photos the more I love the new livery its amazing how something as simple as removing the grab irons and a new coat of paint has transformed the loco and given her a new lease of life

Forgot to say well spotted Pat on the buffers =D

I have to say now I see 077 in her new livery out on the rails I really do like it. Thanks for the photos Wanderer

Mines a built unpainted kit so that will keep you busy for a while

Park Royals sound good also what was the CIE 6 wheel/3 axel van

I have to agree on the Loksound it sounds better

Looking great Bud can't wait for the next instalment

I have to say I would agree with you there

I wouldn't cut in the middle K. I would make 2 cuts one at each end of the pocket so the your wagon would be in 3 pieces. As for gluing back together and strength that shouldn't be a problem.

I didn't know that. I will get to work soon then on another platform

Nice work Anthony-would this photo be of any help to you? [ATTACH]6580[/ATTACH] It's a typical West of Ireland station before the Mini CTC was introduced. Great picture there Noel where would the signal box have been situated in that photo. What was throwing me off was I've been looking at photos of Ballina with its one platform. Would both platforms be the same length or one short one long

Have taken your comments on board and I will have a play about with the position of the signal box:tumbsup:

20mm by 2" plained all round timber covered with Wills rough stone for the sides and Wills paving slabs for the top. I then painted and weathered it
