Tonight I 'as been mostly.......................

[Alex]

...........servicing my British locos, well some of them.

My J94 was always stuttery when I bought it. Tonight I stripped it right down cleaned it all up and rebuilt it. It now crawls around my test track. This use to be the green NCB? Robert engine. When I got it I gave it a quick coat of WPR chocolate with red trim. I'm now going to strip the paint back to the bare metal and repaint it. I may even file off the grab rails and add new ones.



I'm going to need at least 3 of these engines on my WPR layout. One chocolate brown, I might even have a go at the cream lining for it. One black and one in War Department green.

I also have 2 Grafar GP tank engines. One of which will be a donor chassis for my scratchbuilt Barclay 0-6-0T engine. Must get that one finished. This LNER one was my first 2nd hand engine I bought. After a quick service it too crawls around the test track.



Also thinking on getting a Jinty to convert as well. Also gonna need hunners o' 7 plank wagons as well.

Cool! I too have one of those 0-6-0 'General Purpose' tanks.... when I bought mine back in the '80s, it was the nearest thing you could get to a Jinty!

I also own two of those saddle tanks - a black BR one and a blue NCB. Last time I had them going (15 odd years ago!!!), they were going fine. Your pics have encouraged me to get them out and give 'em a go.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum Brian, and about time !!

I am more than happy for you to use the pictures of the loco shed and keep producing the N gauge stuff. If I can find some spare sanity I may attempt the "modern" signal box. It looks to me like a early 60's job correct ?

Its not based on any particular building. I took the general styling from a picture of a box but made it double the width and gave it sloping windows and concrete stairs instead of the metal ones.
