    OOn3. Would be a challenge indeed! Looking at it the chassis would be very difficult to build with an outside(or sandwich?) frame chassis like that, especially in narrow gauge. Hats off to the builder, whoever he is..

    Mint or not mint, that is the question.. Nice model though, and certainly the first model of an oil burning steamer I've seen..

    I would take the GSR book if it's still available..

    Backwoods minatures kit David, and built to an excellent standard too.. Seems to be a bit of green there on the tender

    Hi Richard, welcome to the forum! Dave (Wrenniere) of this forum may be the man to talk to, I'm sure he will be along soon.

    Would anyone be willing to put together a riveted smokebox etch for me? Would be greatly appreciated.

    David, if you are building a new layout with a turntable on it, the CDR built a turntable from the frames of a loco at killybegs, which would be of interest.

    Thanks David. I did indeed use a vice, a rather ancient one at that. Thanks for the idea, I will use it in the future:tumbsup:

    Go down and get yourself a pint JB! I don't think ranting is good for your Health!

    Indeed! Sound Richie, I suppose Meabh acted as a steep (and suitably expensive) learning curve. At the end of the day I managed to get a good enough model of it, after a hell amount of sanding, but ultimately I should have started with something simpler, like the little j26. As for the mess, just wait a few months....

    Ahh classic, cut down a tree with a herring..

    Been slavin away at getting the running(thanks john) right, and then getting the motor fitted. After a few tests on the driving axle, and a few tweaks, and forty CoT later( they cups are decisively cropped from the picture!) proved successful, tests with the coupling rods were started, which were successful also (yippee!) At the moment she is a 2-4-0 as, like a total eejit,I managed to shear of some of the crankpins. Better send up some yo yos to Des.. Don't mind the mess..

    "Knights of Ni"nonsense-stuff,right?

    Never thought the Hunslets were ugly, even if they were unreliable. In the maroon livery, they looked especially good. But I always thought the 80 class were fugly

    I could build an ark... Or the Olympic?
  18. GSR 800
    Here yez go, cropped, and the right way up John, I will pm you later

    That is EPIC. The interior is feckin brilliant. i agree with Noel, they should have put it on a straight bit of track, I'm surprised it could even get on that radius.
  20. GSR 800
    Only an undercoat? Pheww, that could have ended in some terrible nicknames
  21. GSR 800
    Does anyone have pics of Meabh in Witham street?
  22. GSR 800
    Pics are a bit all over the place, don't really know what happened.. Anyway, test fitted..
  23. GSR 800
    Started the rods today,put in the vice and laminate, Back in the shop..
  24. GSR 800
