I know of at least one modelling friend who has had very good service from Contikits - he even drove a considerable distance to trade with them ......but he did have a life time stash to shift...

I always advise people to test before weathering but obviously failed to take my own advice...you live and learn This didn't go well..... it looked great before I weathered it.

I do use them and I obviously can't disagree with what is on the website but it is easily damaged (especially on Brickwork as I said - weathering needs to be gently done) and the footbridge kit I have on my work bench is a very flexible material. Chris

I think they are a strong card rather than mdf? You need care at the edges particularly on brickwork.

These are HO US but worth a look given your prototype windows. How big is your building - I have few spares you could have a look at.

It depends where you are. Here in the South West I find Ray Heard is open and honest about how he buys s/h stock and prices sales. May not get as much as Ebay but a lot easier. He goes to a lot of ( and sponsors a number of ) shows but does not really do the internet... Chris H

Please do....I just need to decide if an 08 sound project will pass muster for an 11 - does anyone know if the prime movers are the same..? ChrisH

Ditto 7120 - LMS pre-war black - also reported as dispatched.... Chris H

View Advert HO scale Athearn CF7 Washington Central complete with TCS DCC Wowsound kit (unfitted) The loco is very lightly weathered by me. The TCS Wowsound kit is open but the internal bags are sealed - it is new and unfitted - it includes a speaker and instructions. The decoder currently retails for £140 in the UK and the loco is extremely rare. I therefore think the price of £175 is very fair but will consider offers. I would prefer not to split the two items. If the loco is not sold by 17 February I will have it at the Stokenchurch NMRA meet. Advertiser Gilbert Date 07/02/24 Price £175 Category Other scales

A bit late but it may help. A lot of content still feels familar from my occasional day at Warrington in early 1980s.. Chris

Do they do EM wheelsets for that?

This may help..

It was not a complaint - merely an observation! I'm happy to not carry stuff upstairs! No doubt we'll keep on b8888ring on... Chris

I shall indeed be there with a considerable amount of surplus boxed HO US stock, building kits, track and bits plus some general modelling bits such as point motors etc. I have a lot of stuff I will only sell Face to Face as it is weathered or detailed and I may also have some DCC sound equipped locos or locos with the correct TCS Wowkits (unopened) with them. I understand there is less space than last year so it may be a bit cosy.... Chris H

Press 1...... 😉

and me...

I posted a couple of adverts for locos yesterday and as of this morning they have not appeared - is a delay normal or have these disappeared for ever? Chris H

A bit too much info there I think Rob....
