Pottering

I have been doing some pottering in my den doing a few little jobs that I have been wanting to do for a while.


My last J94 gets it's nameplate.


'Vulcan' pays a visit sporting it's New brass nameplate.


I made a fixed fall plate, home made drain pipes and front step.


 A new group of firemen recruit's practicing their formation stoking.  Whilst they are awaiting painting. I cut off the base, drill the foot  and glue some brass wire in the foot. I's not painful, I don't feel a  thing…


This is one of my black J94's which is having a Lambson Cab fitted, So  while it's waiting I thought a little color to the boiler face was  called for?

Good work Alan. It's surprising how many of these little jobs can be done in a few spare hours.

Love the cab detail Alan,nice job.

I like your lineside fencing - very convincing.

Bob

Thank you for your replies. The line side fence posts are Slaters, threaded with beading wire.

This is my first attempt at brass modeling as such, I think I should have started with something simple (I thought this was) But we all have to learn? It has however turned out better than I thought, although far from perfect. Modeling is a learning curve.



the far side of the cab does not sit flush to the foot plate. As long as I view it from this side, I don't see it. Next time RT Models is at a show I think I will get another cab fret and with the pit falls from this first effort, I think I can only improve…



At one point when the cab fell to the floor, I thought of replacing the original cab, but the I thought 'nothing ventured and that'



I have got a few nuts of Yorkshire coal to crush and fill the bunker. And then we'll see what next

Looks good Alan. :thumbs  If you haven't got a turntable on your layout, I wouldn't worry about it.  Just run the loco with the good side facing the front of the layout.
