Great start!
I've got to get some of those Legos.
Good to see it restarted!
Looks good so far. I love the color .... -- Russ
No Russ this ones better !

I do hope, that for once, you are going to get the right type and number of rivets on that boiler/firebox ;D
Here we go - I was waiting for the "rivet counters" to rise from were ever the come from in the winter months armed with magnification and digital things to blow photos up beyond all proportion !!!!!!
I just put the first row of rivets on - Iv checked and double checked and checked again I even checked it again to make sure !!!! (it looks the same as the first one )
still life must go on and all future photos will be the size of a postage stamp - but "Trumpers"Mill lives on
Barney
Did any one see the article on rivets in the latest Narrow Gauge & Industrial Review no 101 all I can say is WHY !
I counted eleven rivets in your reply. You are missing some. -- Russ

I lie in wait. Make your move.
By the way: You'd use some brass parts. That's not fair. This snobby material tends to develop distaste for lego blocks. Doesn't work to hide them. Be aware!
Very clean built. One can even perceive it at those digital pics. Although it was better to see some paper prints straight from your darkroom.

Well , if you are going to Nick pick this early in the build we had better point out the first faux pas . In the title of the thread itself . Unless Barney is working in a new scale that nobody has heard of .
Go to the top of the class Mr Nick You are now number one "rivet counter"
Some progress on boiler pipe work and rivets

Looks very good, Barney! According to the fire box Lego brick it is smaller than it seems to be at the pictures. Amazing work!

Some nice progress Barney!
Lots of pretty black polkadots and shiny copper rings and little red berries. It stands up rather well as a model, too. Virtually perfect so far. -- Russ
It's a beautiful construction !
some progress but some steps backward ! laid the floor support beams out but only glued in place - ground cover was too wet and the beams floated away !!! "Dam it I said" so started again with the help of a few pins - the pins will be covered with various beams and brackets - The concrete floor for the engine and bricks for the boiler support now in place - trial fit for drive pulleys and brackets - changed the drive wheel on the engine for a bigger one

Bueno. -- Russ
Ah, grey primer. We should be allowed to just paint everything in grey primer. Puts everything on an even playing field and the individual details can be appreciated, rather than some disappearing through additional paint and weathering processes. Everything in the one shade of grey would remind me of an actual 3D version of a virtual 3D render. I was going to say 50 shades of grey, but thought the thread might attract the wrong crowd :)
Cheers,
Dan
Looking good!
Those are some lovely bits.
That's dam nice for sure!
Jerry
Very very nice.
Thanks everyone but I'v changed it again it was always my intention to build a small saw mill - but I got carried away a bit and it all got a bit complicated - so when I found exactly what I wanted in a book I have had for years it had to be all change again !! much simpler and smaller - You know I just love this retirement life but I'm not sure I like the old age bit
Barney
loosing it quietly - more pics soon

The only part of the model I find disturbing at this point is the cutting mat in the background. -- Russ
I have to say, I really like the coloration of the wood.

Speaking of Humbrol, have they moved all the production back to England from China now?
It's a very nice work !
Hawk - You know I have no idea were Humbrol is based - Every time I go to buy some a different storey evolves -last time every other pot of enamel was "the acrylic type " only to be told they don't make it anymore - Go to another suppler and they say how many do want we carry the whole range including the new ones they have introduced ! any one out there know the answers

Beautiful work.
Now -- and this is for everyone -- yet another plea about posting photos: PLEASE DO NOT LINK PHOTOS FROM FOTKI OR ANY OTHER WEBSITE. Why? They disappear. If you post them directly to THIS site it will retain them. Broken photo links have made a majority of older threads virtually useless. Go back and see for yourself.
This has become enough of an annoyance and an ongoing problem that I am thinking about deleting all linked photos. I would like your input on this rather drastic step, of course. The only reason for it would be to force you to do something you should have done in the first place. And the reason it is important is that the material on this website is timeless so even the oldest material still should be visible ... but it isn't. We are not lazy about how we build models so why should be be lazy about how we share them?

Russ,
first - could you maybe start a new thread in the blue note room for that and uncouple the postings not relating to Barney's modelling?
Second - there'll be a lot of work to reload all the pics to your site. My pictures are hosted by buntbahn where they may stay until this site goes ...
Third - yes, you're right. It's completely useless to read posts without the images belonging to them.
Fourth - Deleting all linked photos means to destroy even more threads. Maybe you can block it for future postings?
Fifth - if you or the authors should be willing to "relink" older threads to your site in my eyes there would sometimes be a big improvement adding new titles to provide better search results. Imagine some kind of a modelling encyclopedia. It's a pity, too, that one cannot search for all/other projects one modeler has created for example. As long as I didn't miss anything.
Volker
Clarification: I don't want to go back and remove all past linked photos. That would be self-defeating. I just want you guys to upload all future photos to this site and thought that, if a photo is linked in the future, and I zap it, then maybe my repeated pleas would have teeth and you would upload it properly.
I also see no reason to re-post past images ... but I certainly wouldn't object if you did ... especially the missing ones!
It's just that I have asked repeatedly to stop linking images because of the loss of so many. If somebody can truly guarantee a linked image will outlast this forum, then go ahead and link. Past experience suggests such guarantees are as meaningless as my promising this site will be alive and well in 2070.
I'm not trying to be a meanie. Really. I just want to ensure our forum actually provides assistance to all of us and to non-members who may use it as a source of education.
Russ
So can somebody please tell me how can I send suitable sized photos from my APPLE set up in plain simple English with out going through a company like FOTKI
see my last post on General forums
Barney
who can not recognise A JPEG from a CLOTHES PEG
To bad there isnt a medium where words and pictures can be placed on it and then covered in a harder more durable material.
Then in 100 years all one has to do is take this "thing" off a shelf and be able to read and look at the images.................
Thanks Bill I will give it a go
Barney
Please see my personal email / message
Martin - Thanks for that one and I agree but its just made my Headache worse !!!!!!!

Some progress but slow -floor boards down nail holes next and the start of the log carriage
My issue are the filters at work. I can see fotki and photo-bucket pics at home, but if I come here during the day I see blanks. Really no issue from the office. It's the IT guys who set it up. Yes to uploading to here. Although, I have to admit that I think some of my pics were linked from my site.
Then be sure to maintain your site! -- Russ

You can't work in a big scale with a small smile.
FWIW when I switched to 1/16th I was happier than I had ever been modeling.
It was my "euphoria" moment.
Every time I look at my first one - the Plymouth it makes me happy and glad I switched.
I think it was getting out of my element and having acquired enough skills to be a passable modeler......
Your always welcome to join us in 1/16th! ;D
