Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

Problems with floppy panto ...no blue pills don't fix it. Probably a worn slide bar .. strip loco..remove roof..expose panto drive lift gear wheel up and slide the bar along till it makes contact with micro switches.. slide bars slips over time/Or wears...as it happens teeth have worn on it..new one ordered .. rebuild ..and pantos now work perfectly..

Slow but slow progress on the cannle locks ..pondering how to progress lead to lack of progress..so I decided to just plod on...

Good work Mike but, I keep thinking of that classic Goon Show quote.
"Lord Valentine Dyall:
Hello? Lloyds? I want to add that last policy on my son Neddie. Yes, yes, I want one that covers him in the event of his ever putting concrete blocks on his feet and throwing himself in the canal. Yes, I know it's not likely to happen but, ha, ha, but just in case." !! :eek:
 
Might be this one Neil...
Pondering the lock gate last night and it just didn't look right... so ..i have 're done the top of it..much better I think 20170908_155102.jpg 20170912_114900.jpg

Today I started on the differences between them hidie..thuisis and Rahita..
After checking ..they have the same wheels motor block and valve gear...after that all bets are off...everything I looked at was different.. new mouldings make this a entirely new model from hidie ect20171006_144052.jpg 20171006_144049.jpg 20171006_143502.jpg 20171006_143453.jpg 20171006_143447.jpg 20171006_143440.jpg 20171006_142925.jpg 20171006_142818.jpg 20171006_142758.jpg 20171006_142750.jpg 20171006_142726.jpg 20171006_142714.jpg 20171006_142650.jpg 20171006_142657.jpg

'All pigs fuelled, and ready to fly' more like, I reckon..
The handrails on the Rhatia in the set were ridiculously flimsy!!
 
That really is quite a difference Mike. Great to see the effort to improve detail by Marklin.
 
Sorry to hear about your dad, Mike.
That new loco looks great BTW
Does Jenny know she's Wife2.1? (An improvement on Wife2.0??)

Thanks Alan.. Hi Rik..o yes she's well aware and quite proud to be wifey 2.1
 
Hi MIke, sorry to ask a silly question, but how do I update my account to view your photos please.
 
You should be able to see them. No upgrade required. It may be your computer settings or internet browser that need updating.
