844john Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 And one of the 272’s has suffered from fogging of the glazing, unfortunately I can’t get the cab roof off to replace it, so it’s looking like it’s heading for the reject bin 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Wow John those are stunning. I haven’t had a lot of time of late to come here and go through all the topics but what a surprise to see these. the fogging doesn’t look too bad at all from here, I’m sure you could find a use for it. Once again, stunning modelling👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Well John ... Words fail me..... But stunning work...must be one of the finest batches of the brand ever produced in 32nd Scale and .like Martin says above the fogging doesn't look too bad in the photos, maybe it wants setting in a wet day looking scene rather than calling it a reject... hell Bathgate let worse out of the gate back in the day 😂 The reaction of the laquer seems more of a problem though. Still fantastic work and every credit to you 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a bit of a rash statement, you had better sit down and think it over properly before you make your final decision. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit where credit is due John, you done a cracking job.... I don't think I'd have complained even if the 272 is destined for the Valley, it's still a fantastic build even with the little fogging that doesn't show too much in the photos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Impressive work as ever John, I can sympathise with the curse, I always find after time away from building it takes a build or two to get back into the swing of it! and sometimes there's a model that just fights you the entire way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks James, this whole batch has been like that. I think the problem is that they have sat so long waiting for decals and now they don’t want to leave, so they’re doing everything they can to stay!🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Oh hell aye John.... You not lost your magic touch 😍 another beauty from Bathgate! Was in a shed yesterday with a 285 synchro with a knackered gearbox, sat along side a 10 speed silver stripe 2100 and a 2100 Synchro.... A 282, pair of 272s a 245, 253, plus a handful of Nuffields...whilst trying to source a couple of missing items for a recent project... Wasn't a successful search in terms of quality but the items found might be salvageable with a few hours work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of Leylands and Leyland bits up there some too far gone but got told if it's on 4 wheels it'll run.... there's a nice pair of 698 VT engines basically a good turbo version of the 6 pot Leyland engine that run but won't part with them .... would have loved to get photos but he's not do keen on that. Although once the recent project has had a bath I think a few photos of that might be in order 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
