The Great Unrest: Modelling the 1911 railway strike
One32 commented on Mikkel's blog entry in The Farthing layouts
Brilliant modelling and well observed social history. You really are a great story teller too. i always enjoy stepping through the magic mirror into Farthing and after this episode I’m quite glad I don’t live there. Ralph Webb -
Still waiting for mine 12 days after it appeared on the shelves of WHS. This seems to happen regularly - do they post alphabetically one at a time? Ralph Webb

The website now says “This account is suspended” Looks like RIP Gnatterbox - a shame as there was a lot of inspirational modelling on the site. Ralph Webb

The heavy rains in northern India have cut the cart road and the DHR again. I hope the railway can survive the shutdown since March and now this. https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/landslides-detached-darjeeling-disrupted-world-heritage-toy-train-service/articleshow/76710965.cms

Have a look at the late Raymond Walleys website. Under pdf tab is advice on resistance soldering - I found this a great help when I started. www.raymondwalley.com

Hi Dava, how much is there on the construction of the railcars supplied to the LNER? Most books cover allocation etc but theres very little out there on how they were built. Thanks Ralph

Dave Is there a specific reason for choosing 3ft? If it is not to be used in your workshop could you make it longer and would that allow you to incorporate an engine shed on a siding from the mainline towards the front of the board? This could be a stand alone scenic diorama and would add extra operating interest to the layout with engines staying overnight and loco coal in / out. Ralph

Many thanks Compound2632 for the comprehensive answer. This was for a friend John who enjoys making one off large scale models of unusual wagons. I see if the midland centre offers a cooy/scan service. Regards Ralph

Can anyone point me in the direction of drawings / photos for the Midland Railway wagon for bunker coal / roadstone? Raloh

All the very best to the AD. Hope he is out, recovered and back modelling soon. Ralph

Not at all. I enjoyed the story and now I'm better informed. Several of the scenes activated the "modelling gene"

My knowledge isnt that good and it caught me on the hop. It looked like a 232t maybe ex prussian? This really isnt my area - I posted in case it was of interest to others. Ralph

Just watching this 1954 film on "talking pictures" Alex Guiness as Father Brown Some very atmospheric shots of a French local train at about 1hr - 3 axle coaches and 2 axle van. Also some nice period views of countryside and village. Ralph Webb

Does anyone know who now owns the RAS photograph archive? I would love to have a couple of their photographs to frame and put on my study wall. Ralph

Hi Vernon Do you now use Alkyd paints for all layers or are they grained on top of acrylic? Ralph -
Dear All Could anyone tell me the type of coaches that made up the mid 30’s “Garden Cities and Cambridge Buffet Express” I’ve seen photos of the GNR open 3rd converted into the buffet but what would go either side. I’m after a likely 5 coach train rather than the original 3 coach or the later longer trains Many thanks Ralph

Looks really good. Which tutorials would you recommend for a complete beginner? Would you rescale the bench ends to 10mm/ft? My order would go in immediately! Ralph

So if you intend to run in both directions it will be half right all the time, rather than all right or all wrong!
