bexwh773 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Aww, sweet! I've got a Hornby Tangmere, it's a gorgeous model. I'd love to see the real thing running. We have too Jiffers..... cant imagine why April 5th 2003, first run from Victoria to Canterbury West, and it went WEST & BANG BIG TIME!!! But, I met Louise on my way home Bexy P.S: Thats the short public version, the private version is much longer & more fun (but clean before you lot start ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Martian Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Quick update on this. Time's being shared out with another couple of group builds on other sites so I'm not as progressed as I'd like. The boiler has been joined and ball bearings are in place to give it some weight. Front has a coat of X-18 Semi-gloss black and the rest is Railmatch BR Loco Green enamel. Annoyingly, the green doesn't work with Humbrol enamel thinners so the first layer went on a bit inconsistently. Piston and gear rods are Alclad Polished Aluminium covered with Alclad Steel to darken it down a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
