Anyone who wants a black Friday deal on here will be out of luck as I only have my 9678 pannier and CK's Hall !

Don't understand that, sorry?

Gosh! those windows are so big - in the fourth photo you can see right through into the 50’s!

It might be worth getting Sven’s advice on close coupling, Samantha agrees.

There are no 'Hoovers' behind the Gates, just some old coaches.

What! on a Pull -Push set, are you quite mad sir?

NOPE. 

 

You're quite right. It would never manage to shift them.

Need I say more.

I'm only teasing you, it's a black Friday after all as Oxford Rail SR black radial 3520 does the honours.

Black loco requests on a Friday CK.

Ah, thanks, I see what you mean now. Sorry for being so dim.

 

I nearly bought a blue loco this afternoon, and maybe even a black one with a tender, but I was put off by the indifferent attitude of the person behind the counter, so I didn't.

Which emporium was that ?

One adjacent to a well-known heritage railway.

 

I might go back whenever I can escape, and see if someone else is serving.

Rob you are a genius. You got an Oxford Radio to move without falling off the track etc.

CK, I have walked away from many a store, counter, stall for not being treated with good customer care by someone that should have known better. A few have been MR related but many have just been local or town shops. I can forgive shy youngsters just doing a boring Saturday job but I will not put up with adults that should know how to treat their customers. There are places and on line businesses I will buy from just for the hell of it because they offer great customer service, even 'remotely'.

That's surprising they are normally very friendly in there I'll keep an eye next year when I'm down for the dining train, but maybe the chap has SWMBO trouble too.

It's a scandal!

To redress the balance here's another Chris Nevard photo then.

For those interested, a livery sample of Bachmann's forthcoming Dumbleton Hall is on display at Warley, and can be seen, courtesy of adb968008, here. 

 

Looks like Rob's petitioning worked - it's unlined both above and below the footplate!

 

Cheers,

Rather nice it looks too,

Though I’m still not sure if I would pay the extra for new over removing the lining from an earlier second hand hall

Thanks and I'll try and get a better side on shot tomorrow.

Sven has just given this advice about close coupling

 

“Get your Rocos off, turn them upside down and show off your pipework”

 

Samantha suggests contact adhesive for suppleness

Could you also please turn the grill up to medium heat when asking about progress on the 94xx?
