Owing to the big move (successfully completed but now unpacking!) not much has been happening on the modelling front. Last night was one of the first forays back into it, but with my train shed out of action (still packed boxes are in it along with other "stuff") it was limited to what I could do on the dinning room table.
This consisted of working though my collection of 101s (RR, SYWP Green and BR Blue 3 car), my collection of Blue Ribband Mk 1s and my Class 411 and sorting out close couplings. I set up a reverse curve using some Kato 315mm radius curves and set to work.
The results are quite pleasing. One short and one long Farish NEM Rapido in each Mk 1 and these go round happily both pushing and pulling coupled long to short. For the MUs of all persuasions, I have used the Dapol knuckles. For all 4 sets a pair of shorts worked fine.
For those wondering what my train shed looks like - picture below. 7.5m by 6m and no, I don't have t share with the car! I do have to share with my own workshop but that is ok as it is MINE, ALL MINE (Bahahahahahhaha!) (Tinks (in best Bluebottle voice) "maybe I have been in the outback too long" Untinks)
