Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

[mike]

That pickup holding, if I'm correct, 20 barrels... Not roped down or anything. I imagine it is based on some old B&W photo?

A fellow fourm member on here, belive it or not showed me his family's old car , carrying empty barrels that they were taking to be delivered, modified with barrels over the *cab*

 

[mike]

Not a lot , but sorting motablity scooter out...new battery, cheaper to replace the batteries ,in the battery box,than buy them pre done ie new battery box..
So train running, cash saved £100 to loco fund ...upstairs for thinking ..

 

[mike]

Onwards and upwards, preparing for summer, and hopefully better weather, some new figures, and a new police mini..and refurbishment of older figures some have *added bits*, new ones gets a hole drilled in the leg, and a nail glued in the leg,old one repainted ,suitcase are printed, as are other bits now

View attachment 283061Hmmm over there the basic model is a really a stripped down model

 

[mike]

Had a set of hillman over fishplate railclamps, play up...the bolts were facing the platform.(my bad) and seased up..
Only way was to dremile the brass as the stainless steel bolts too hard ..replaced with massoth version..

 

[Sean.]

I hate when that happens..

 

[Rhinochugger]

That's unusual to have a rail clamp play up

Maybe it went "tits up"! (Just getting caught up from Monday's post.)

What a shame, some penetrating oil (wait a day) then a shortened Allen Key may well have done the job. Never like to trash anything unless totally impossible. Have found that on occasion I have broken the screw, but possible if some thread sticking out to get both bits out and replace with a new screw. Someone linked a UK supplier of the correct sized screws in Mad days I think.

Looks like it was an over clamp and they can tend to bend the screw with enthusiastic tightening causing eventual broken screw. How do I know this.......

When you relise you messed up..again..
