  1. I should imagine that the 08 is probably Dapol's priority with regards to O gauge at the moment. And given how many years their foray into the 7mm loco market has taken, I wouldn't expect any announcements until any possible future projects are well under way.
  2. Take this hammer, give it to the Captain. Tell him I went home!

  3. Looks good Painting the pipework does make a big difference.
  4. is wondering if Sarah Siddons has a sister.

      I thought we were talking about trains? Lots of lovely ladies steamed out of Swindon works! ;-)

      I don't recall seeing LT locos called "Elizabeth Whitlock" or "Ann Hatton".

  5. Many thanks for the information Chris. I can understand the economies of having all the rods and pipes red, having them factory painted various colours would only add to the costs involved. Apologies to Simon for the thread hijacking, but I have one more Peckett question. I'm going to be basing my loco on one of the SHT Pecketts, so will need to fit the lamp brackets. The front ones will be black so they're fine, but the rear brackets need to be painted green. Is the GWR green on the model matched to a particular colour?
  6. I'm always a bit dubious of preservation liveries.
  7. Thanks Simon. I must of been having a thickie moment. Of course, the pipe work would have been copper, with brass fittings. I suspect the sandbox rods would have been black, with just the reverser rod painted red. I'm going to detail and finish my Peckett soon, so that's another job to add to the list
  8. Time to clear out the last of the OO stock.

  9. Crikey! A coat of paint makes a heck of a difference. A good difference, it really shows up the contours and brings it into perspective.
  10. It's good to see that the brave people of Brent are fully prepared for invasion, whether it be from the air, the sea, or the Southern! Edit for spelling.
  11. Why do need a couple of Spam's to defend us from the Luftwaffe? The dozen Great Western Castle's re-named after the RAF's finest aircraft are all we need.
  12. Do you put your Cornish pasty in them to cool down if it's too hot?
