I was at the Bangor show today,great to meet the boys. Picked up my Ballast wagons, they are amazing,the detail is unbeatable. Well done to all four of you and we can all look forward to many more great models.=D=D=D
-
This is looking great.I like the orange band with the step. If you paint the small round windows with satin black or satin varnish it would look more like glazing.
-
That's very nice.
-
Thank God, i was starting to get worried. :dancing::dancing:
-
A neat job,it will be nice when finished.

Plasticard is just 10 thou,very thin and hard to cut. You need a sharp knife.
-
thank's for all your comments. The checker plate embossed sheet came from slaters,i think.

They look the part, hope the hand brakes are on.

PLASSER TAMPER No 5 UPDATE A few more pic's of the plasser tamper. I have put on all the cab sides,floors,side grills and cut out 25 windows. Now all the fine details need to be added. Can't wait to get some paint on it.

There is a lot to do to this kit to ring it up to a good standard. I got the brass etch and only used the round fan grill. I'm still trying to glaze it and the motor i got with it was so bad, i put in a Black Beetle which runs very well. Good luck, it will be nice when finished i'm sure.

The moulds look good. Bubbles are always a problem and getting the mix ratio right. I am using resin 3 years old and it still works.

Thanks. This was posted 4 years ago, Time flies. Now that the ballast wagons are on their way i will need to build another ploughvan.

Great pictures, very realistic.

Sad to see the 80 Class being scrapped. Are any of these going to be kept? -
Love the detail. What colour will it be?
-
That's a great job,looks very well. What's the running like?
-
The bogie frame are made from plastic, a fiddly job. The motor and gears are a bit noisy but when they get run in a bit they might improve.

PLASSER TAMPER MACHINE. This is what i have been working on over the past year. it is starting to look like something at last. The motor & bogies are from Hollywood foundry in Australia. Bachmann buffers. It is based on the NIR No5 and dimension are not all accurate and some are judged by eye.

It's great to see this project reaching the finish line. Thank's for sticking your necks out and we are all very grateful for your efforts and producing a top class model. This will be a learning curve that will help with all future projects.
-
Very neat, your getting good at this.
-
Lovely work, i like the engine detail. The maroon & grey looks great. Where do you get the NR logo?
-
I'll be there, great news. what proof of purchase do you need?
-
That looks super. Are the seats white? or is it just the light. When i sprayed a coach the paint bled under the tape, i think because it was enamel paint mixed with thinners, so the acrylic may work better.
-
That's looking good.
-
I know, i have been tempted to stop myself.
