Next time he's down here, I throw the three of them off the balcony so he has to scavenge the fragments, first. Giving him all of the pieces just makes it too easy. He needs to work at the next one. Hang onto one of the wheels, and put a pebble, a walnut shell, an N gauge steam loco chimney and a piece of plasticard into the mix too, for the craic. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 048 making a recovery of sorts lol: A few oils have to dry and then it just needs a coat of varnish to seal it and it's done. I wasn't able to completely hide the crack without essentially painting it black and that would have been more noticeable. 10 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 If this loco was ever to receive nameplates, it would need to be something appropriate, surely? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 It's a testament to the quality of IRM's A Class, that @murphaph was able to get her running again. She fell from a good metre and a half, if not more, and to be there and see all of the bits was just heart-wrenching. Looked like a write-off, yet she's running again, and looks outstanding with that weathering job! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
