Happy Martian Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) This idea has come out of the volume of support I've had with my BR loco build in the Out Of Box GB currently running. The idea is simply to build a kit related to the railways, the only physical requirement being that it must run on rails. Scale, Country of Origin and type are all open and by keeping it open to anything related to railways and not just locomotives allows the armour folks to join in (can a 1/35 Dora be built in a GB timescale ? ) Any thoughts and is anyone interested ?

Shar2 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I could be up for this would a couple of Leopold railway guns be ok? Only if they're 1/35 I might be up for this as it would give me an excuse to actually build one or two of my 1/35 rail kits. I don't think I'll be doing the Dora though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Nope they're 1/72nd Hobby Boss, and the Hasegawa Leopold's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Martian Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Guys, this GB will be as open as it can get. Any scale and any type is okay..... the key phrase to remember is "as long as it runs on rails" !!! Armoured cars, rail guns, coal wagons or even scratchbuilt handcars are acceptable. Special mention will go to any builders of that Dora or an O Gauge Princess Class in brass plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius at Home Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Count me in!!! I have a few Southern EMU kits that would fit the bill... Darius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpie Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Well I'm already involved with one Railway GB so I'm very much up for another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Martian Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks for the support, folks. That makes 8, another 7 needed for the GB to be recognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewE Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Put my name down for this one, I have three Dapol/Airfix kits in the stash and this will be a great incentive to finally build one. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkennerley Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Put me down please I need to make some locomotives and such for my layout. Can kitbashed carriages be included? Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Martian Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Good question Wayne, and one I hadn't put much thought into. I guess it would depend on how much kitbash is involved. If it's from the chassis up then that's fine. If it's simply reworking a coach interior, then it'd have to be looked at on its own merits (is it enough modelling to warrant an entry?).

wkennerley Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) (is it enough modelling to warrant an entry?). My kitbashing usually consists of taking an American clerestory carriage, shortening the body and chassis and re-spraying, with some minor other alterations - Possibly not sufficient modelling A pity the GB is only for run on rails items as this would be good incentive for me to do my scratchbuilt station building. I have started but I am thinking of starting all over again Cheers Wayne Edited April 24, 2011 by wkennerley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen T Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Count me in, could do the Dapol Spam Can or one of the Deltic prototype kits I've got or even the resin F stock. Glen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I'd like to put my name down for this. I have a great book all about the Battle of Britain class 92 Squadron which documents its whole life from building to return to service, via scrapyard and restoration. All I need is to buy the Dapol Spamcan kit, and plenty of rust-coloured paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have an ESCI, 1/87 WWII German Loco. I could build for this one. so please add me to the interest group.. Tks, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Well I've got a Leopold gun and a couple of Br.52's so count me in. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Martian Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Thank you all. That's 14 up so we only need another one to make the GB minimum and we'll also need someone to co-host. And I acknowledge your point, Wayne. Unfortunately, I had to draw a line on what to accept somewhere. "Railway Related" would open up a can of worms as to what could be accepted. Keeping it to "running on rails" still keeps it widely open and in theme with the original idea without allowing the proverbial kitchen sink.

bigbadbadge Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I may be up for this, although time is at a premium what with Kids, house and work shifts, I have either an N gauge class 205 Thumper which I am part way through the driving coach (roof clear sides and ends) converting from a Class 207, or I have an Airfix OO gauge City of Truro.

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Just a thought, if this ends up as more of a railway GB than strictly locos, I have several OO goods wagon kits I could choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
