7mm Garden Railway Running

[Brian Daniels]

Seeing as it is such nice weather I have cleaned the track and done a bit of running in the garden.

The 60 and 40 are Heljans forthcoming locos. The 31 and 37 are Heljan conversions as is the 40 as it will be released with disc headcodes. The Thumper is a Peter Clark kit.

I especially like the 40 & the Thumper

Evening session now completed. It was great seeing and hearing the Thumper going round in the dark!

I like them all, but especially the thumper, the one thing we need are some quality DMUs.

The Thumper looks great with the lights!

 

[Brian Daniels]

It will look even better when I get the rest of the seats in the trailer coaches! Has to be the most boring modelling Iv'e ever done.

Brian,
Superb stuff, very good indeed. Good enough to start a distraction in fact.
I am tempted by a Thumper project, as a reminder of the Andover- Romsey line in its final years. How was it to build? Any comments good or bad would be extremely useful and gratefully received.
Yours,
Jamie

Hi Jamie
The Thumper is ok to build, it all goes together where it should just take note that I have added a bit to it from the basic kit, do you want a list?

I am tempted with a Tadpole as a Hastings is just too much work with 6 coaches.

 

[Brian Daniels]

It amazes me how different the Heljan 31 is with a skinhead. I must try a heljan 40 with a centre headcode?

 

[jamiepage]

Thank you very much, Brian. Actually, since asking, I have found your thread on the build. Very good info.

 

[Brian Daniels]

Ok Jamie have a nice read!

I have just uploaded a video of the Thumper in the garden.

 

[jamiepage]

Superb. That's done it. Order must go in for one.

 

[Brian Daniels]

Ha ha knew that would catch you It is rather nice.

Great video Brian, that both looks and sounds absolutely terrific

I do like sound fitted diseasels in the garden
