What happened at your workbench today?

[viaEstrecha]

Oh that would nicely fit in my scrap pile at Silberhütte with a lot of rust!

Some parts are currently being superglued in a desperate salvage attempt - it it all goes t1ts-up, you may get it

Putting a 'kit' together for the new Timpdon/Boot Lane Works Steam Rail Motor :

No soldering required..
Three battery options:
4 x AA Strikalite pack.
4 x AAA Strikalite pack.
'PP3-snap' and 4 x AA (or AAA) holder. - No cells.

What does the chassis look like, I gather from boot lane. Also be good to hear how it runs.

Runs like all the other Boot Lane Works chassis. Which is quite nicely.. They use the Bonnie wheels, so the whole thing is (by LGB standards) very light. It will traverse LGB R1 curves, but I have yet to try it on the tighter Playmobil curves.

I will unpack it and post some pictures for you, a little later..

So those are the plastic ones?

That should be 'Binnie', and yes, they are nylon(?) I believe..

I will check..
<Edit> Wheels are glass-filled nylon (70% nylon, 30% glass-fibre)

Though the new model from Boot Lane Works 'Heidi' uses 3D printed wheels. - I believe these are printed in-house, but I do not know what material is being used.

I got a landrover for my layout as well - this one is the lwb version from welly (1/24). It came pristine but I did a simple weathering scheme on it.

Apologies, I didn't make myself clear. I was referring to the Playmobil track, the metal curves were LGB R1 curves whatever the box they were in said and the plastic ones are tighter. )Walter Turner used to call them R0.9.)

pleease, never show us a heavily weathered model!

I like the dirt, not sure about the rust patches, Land-Rover body panels are made from aluminium.

Jons People do a Series Landy -I can't remember which one. Trouble is, he/they have no web presence, so you have to catch them at a show. There's a touch of the Flying Dutchman about them: it doesn't look like they'll be at the National, but they routinely attend Steam in Beds, in November. Others may have spotted them/know where else they are booked in.
