Hopefully I'll be able to get hold of Brian and order one at some point soon(ish).Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-84863944567894377152014-01-26T14:37:55.489+00:002014-01-26T14:37:55.489+00:00This is exciting...I have a 7mm quarry Hunslet hal...This is exciting...I have a 7mm quarry Hunslet half-built at the moment, but not for me unfortunately. Given my current obsession with Dyffryn Nantlle it would have to be "Dorothea" if I built one for myself. I hope you manage to get in touch with Brian, I know that Paul on his excellent workbench blog has been building a Brian Madge "Alice" class Hunslet which might be of interest<br />http://paulthehalfwit.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/brian-madge-alice-class-hunslet-part-1.html<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing this developing.<br />Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-40645977087297817592014-01-26T11:51:10.620+00:002014-01-26T11:51:10.620+00:00Interesting; do you have a photo?

The N-Drive website seems horribly out of date and the only Quarry Hunslet I could see was the test build of Alice, and I wasn't sure about exactly how it would look as apparently that build was missing some etched detailing parts.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-33613079337374599362014-01-26T11:43:12.613+00:002014-01-26T11:43:12.613+00:00N-Drive do a very nice Quarry Hunslet in white met...N-Drive do a very nice Quarry Hunslet in white metal.

Mind you that isn't necessarily a bad thing; I doubt I'll have room to start a third layout when I finish this one.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-2715206559341974132014-01-26T08:24:40.068+00:002014-01-26T08:24:40.068+00:00I know the feeling.

This was part of the problem when I was initially planning Jerusalem; having the physical size doesn't really give you a feel for how it will look. Although the mix up with the box came down to me not using the tape measure properly.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-51534155873376167632014-01-26T05:47:48.408+00:002014-01-26T05:47:48.408+00:00It will be another interesting project to follow. ...It will be another interesting project to follow.

I know, academically, how big it is but relating that to the smallness of the box in practice or visually caused me a problem. Now I have 00 and 009 to contend with. Fortunately RailwayScenics website has a full explanation so I can rest easy again.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.com
