LCDR Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 /media/tinymce_upload/3a7df6e9094adc1eb27353b40f6aa259.jpg You will need either a Flatrol, or a Carflat, to carry a narrow gauge bogie coach, unfortunately no-one makes these types in OO at present.Here is one of the Vale of Rheidol line carriages on a 'carflat' at Shrewsbury, en-route for overhaul.

2e0dtoeric Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks, LC. I've got one from the Bach place on pre-order!As you say, nobody makes one yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 A 'Carflat' is a relatively easy wagon to make using a old type Hornby Mark 1 coach underframe. Remove the ends above the buffer beam with a fine saw, and add a planked floor with Wills Plastic Card. The planks go from side to side. To the outside you then need to attach two 1mm plastic rods supported by 15 short lengths (approx 10 mm tall) evenly spaced Evergreen angle each side, and then add a loading flap at either end fabricated from plastic card and strip.

81F Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 As my 3D prints had not arrived before Christmas, I've ordered a 3D print of a OO GWR Bullion Van. Just need to see how it prints and remember where I put that spare set of GWR Amrican bogies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poliss Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I posted about what I got for Xmas, but I don't think the forum filters like the American term for refigerated wagons. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Nothing for the railway, but I'm pondering over whether to buy a petrol-powered high capacity water pump, or get my scuba gear serviced! It has rained for most of the day - again, and a new storm forecast for tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Don't think I'd Scuba in floodwater, so the high pressure pump is probably your best bet, and a set of waders. It has been raining here on and off all day too. I live on outskirts of York. We are quite high up, but even here the surface water doesn't go very fast since the deluge over Christmas, heaven knows what it is like down by the river. I refuse to comment on other drainage issues! Oh yes, and the roof of the shed I hope to be building my layout in has started to leak. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 At least - you found out before the layout was started, LC!As it would appear that the local lake is going to come here, to me, I've started building an amphibious plane - called an Icon A5, just waiting for some small parts, then I can fnalize assembly. (I know the tailplane is crooked, it isn't bolted on!). The yellow one is a Decathlon, an the fin, bottom left, is a KA8. /media/tinymce_upload/58917fdb722ee005d1547cfb79f45b6b.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twintop Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I received this for Xmas. Bargain at £42.99..RailRoad BR Class 31 Diesel Electric LocomotiveR3067However it does have a TOPS number but as I cant see the numbers as the engines pass by, I may leave it be althought its 3 years plus past the date of my layout. Bit wary of attempting re-numbering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
