Alec,

And another thanks from me - I particularly like the Toplights. A very welcome addition to the LNWR stable.

Regards, Brian

Thank you for the kind comments. Whilst I try to finalise the King's Saloon, here's a screenshot of a pair of 30 x 8ft Diagram 86 Third Class Picnic Saloons. These originally worked as a pair with their single gangway connections facing each other.

The proposed Royal Train is still in the workshop whilst I potter along with some smaller carriages - 18ft 6in length up to 34ft length, although still a fair few 32ft length to complete. The latter include a number of postal vehicles with net apparatus. I'm trying to work out the best way to model that element and I should hasten to add that they will NOT be working ones!

The side gangway vehicles now amended, and I'm trying my hand with postal vehicles using some parts supplied by Brian. This also showed me that I have a very narrow knowledge of TSM. It'll be interesting to see how the models develop. My wife's cancer has taken a turn for the worse and she is often asleep and doing TSM work helps me to relax a little.

All I can do is echo the comments of others about your wife. I find words very hard in these circumstances. Obviously, she must take priority, though I fully understand your comment about having something to concentrate on such as MSTS modelling.

Now that Ilma's funeral is over, I will start to try and get back to some serious TSM work. In particular progressing the various LNWR carriages as I have quite a few which are nearly complete but need minor amendments to textures, etc.
As an aside I will also look to complete some of the outstanding LYR wagons - about 8 I think - and also start to see whether I can try my hand at a locomotive. I initially considered a "Claughton", but it was suggested that that might be a bit too complex to start with. I'm therefore looking to try Hughes' 4-6-0, I have some information already supplemented by extra data from Darwin.
I haven't forgotten LYR carriages but they will have to wait their turn.

This last week has not been good as the stress and strain of the last year seem to have caught up with me, and I have been quite poorly with a heavy duty chest infection! It's only now that I'm beginning to feel something like after a week of antibiotics and staying in bed - mind you I still have a cough that is somewhat painful!
Hopefully over the next week my health will improve and with it my modelling desire?

Hi Alec, sorry to hear that you are unwell, I have found that as I've got older that minor ills take a little longer to clear
up and that I get tired during the day and need a rest but pick up in the evening ready to tackle problems.
Stick with it and hope that you can get back to creating wonderful rolling stock for MSTS again, the world wouldn't
be the same without them.

Cheers

Hi Alec,

That's all you need after all the stress of last year. Hopefully you will soon get much better especially with spring just round the corner. Don't rush too much, Bob is quite right, everything takes longer to mend as time goes on. I'll look forward to more of your excellent rolling stock when you are ready.

Best wishes,

Stephen

I agree with every word Bob wrote. One thing I find, when feeling below par, is to set yourself small targets. Tackle one small job and you soon find yourself happily finishing three or four. Very best wishes,

Made a tentative effort to create a new coach model, although it was very difficult to concentrate as I am suffering with the back end of a chest infection plus what appears to be a bit of conjunctivitis! Seem to be vulnerable to anything and everything!

Postal stock mentioned above. Interesting stuff. I was planning at some point to do the vehicles that survived into the 1930s.
I found information fairly scarce though.

In the meantime not sure reading this screen is such a great idea. Think I made my last episode of conjunctivitis last longer by spending too much time looking at the computer screen.

I've completed most of the 32ft Postal vehicles listed in the 1915 LNWR Coach Diagram Book - see above, but the textures need revisiting. I've also attempted 42ft, 34ft and a few others.

I'm currently working on some 54ft x 9ft Cove Roof diagrams. I'm also hoping to look at Darwin's recent releases for OR operation in order to see what might need doing to allow my earlier coach uploads to be adjusted!

Excluding those that are awaiting final checks and adjustments I would need to complete 130+ diagrams to complete what's listed in the above Diagram Book!

Managed to complete a Diagram 42 3rd Class Dining Car - 47ft 9in x 8ft 9in with clerestory roof. Assumed it was on 2 axle bogies, but after checking realised they were on 3 axle bogies. Would not be able to confirm the exact details, and the tableware is purely indicative.
Rufuskins' Workshop LNWR Coaches - Page 7 D42_di10
Will now try a Diagram 43, which is very similar but with a different table and chair layout - still 3rd class. Then the only other 47ft 9in length coach in the 1916 Coach Diagram Book is Diagram 31A, which is a 1st Class Dining Car. Need to look out for a kitchen car to work with these.

Diagram 43 completed and now moving onto Diagram 31A. This includes a kitchen compartment and presumably could work with either 42 or 43.

I have completed Diagram 31A and started to develop Diagrams 379 and 380 (Brake Vans for Milk traffic) but have really struggled to concentrate on them or any other TSM model. What I may try and do is go back through the completed models that haven't been uploaded and check and amend to suit - there are some 60+!

I'm currently re-arranging the room where the computer is located in order to see whether I can fit a model railway in. At the moment I appear to have an area of 3000 x 450mm to fit a simple OO layout in - N gauge too small for handling and eyesight. I've nearly finished Diagram 379 and will work on Diagram 380 afterwards.

That's good !

I hope that it is of a LYR layout (Bachmann's lovely 2-4-2T), or if not, a LNWR layout (the lovely Bachmann Super D 0-8-0) - there should be enough LYR or LNWR models around to make a small branch with fiddle yard.

An interesting thing would be to 'hark back to the old days of printed card' rolling stock - you have so many excellent wagon and carriage textures - if you have a colour printer you could scale the textures and print onto thin card overlays and make a set of unique custom LYR or LNWR models that no-one else has. I think it would be a fitting tribute to the early pioneers of the model railway trade, a la Steadman or early Peco wagon kits. Somewhere buried away in my garage I still have about a half dozen sheets of printed wagon cards that I never got round to building

My own OO layout is now well over 45 years old and languishing in the garage (U-shaped round the walls) blocked in by years of bulk storage items and plagued with a constant dust problem - the layout hasn't been run or worked on for more than 10 years, and has been through 4 house moves over the years. It is a hypothetical model of the MR in Huddersfield Newtown, assuming the MR built their whole station BEFORE the Great War - hence that's why the 'real' MR Newtown branch has been included in the Huddersfield route - I had many years of research stored away, so could build the branch easily. A four day visit to Huddersfield in 82, while I was on holidays in the UK, resulted in many photos, books and other local resources.

I continue to "potter" with LNWR coaches as well as progress the model railway. I've ordered baseboards, as my woodworking skills are bordering on non-existant, and they should be ready in a week or two. I've also acquired some PECO track and once I have the baseboards I can progress the various schemes to decide which offers both modelling and driving variety as well as fit in the 3m x 450mm space!

As can be deduced from the lack of posts in this thread I have done very little with TSM due to my preparatory work for the model railway and looking after my niece's dog - they're having a dormer added.

In the immediate future I don't anticipate working very much on my TSM carriages, apart from perhaps checking and finalising those models already completed but not yet uploaded.

In line with my last post I have managed to check 4 out of 5 potential uploads comprising Brakes, Dining, Non-corridor and Postal. The last upload to be checked will comprise a series of Saloon type coaches. The overall total number of coaches should be about 66. There will be other coaches that fall in these categories but they are still to be completed as well as some Corridor coaches.
There are no consists so these will need to be made up using your preferred utility - personally I use ConBuilder.

I have this evening uploaded six (6) packs of LNWR carriages to UKTS, comprising a total of 67 coaches. (Please note that I no longer use Dropbox and hence they are not available here on TSSH.)

The coach packs cover Brakes, Corridor, Dining, Non-corridor, Postal and Saloons, however no consists are included. In addition they are primarily aimed at MSTS, although they may be able to be used in Open Rails - possibly requiring some tweaking of the WAG file!

I very much hope that these may be of use on Brian's excellent LNWR version of Black Country and his even better original Huddersfield route.

As noted earlier I will not be actively modelling more coaches except when taking a break from my model railway attempt! As an aside I reckon there might be still some 130 odd carriages from the 1915 Diagram Book still outstanding!

Hi Alec,
Thanks, mate Smile
hence they are not available here on TSSH
You don't need Dropbox to upload them to this site!
I've uploaded my utilities here and have never used Dropbox!

However, I appreciate that there may be a limit on the size of any uploads here, of which I'm unaware.

Cheers,
Ged

Better late than never I'll reply to Ged's comment on Dropbox. To the best of my knowledge there is no limit in terms of uploads to TSSH, but of course there is a limit to the free Dropbox use. However this was not my problem, which was that startup on my computer was significantly slowed by Dropbox "synchronising", and I therefore decided not to use Dropbox. I had thought that by telling Dropbox not to activate in startup - by ticking appropriate boxes -, somehow it always seemed to be activated on startup!

In terms of LNWR carriage modelling I am still working up occasional coaches, when not working on the model railway or attempting to remodel the garden.

Lovely batch of LNWR passenger brakes on UKTS. Glad to see you are still at work.

Thank you Roderic. I've also uploaded a further two batches of LNWR coaches this evening, which together with the earlier one makes another 50+ LNWR coach diagrams available for use in MSTS and Open Rails - assuming the latter will accept them. I have done very little in the way of TSM modelling recently, as I continue with my model railway. Should I decide to create more then there is about 60-70 diagrams still to do from the 1915 Diagram Book.

Good to see you're still around - hope you're keeping well Smile

Many thanks for these new coaches.
