Hello all. I have a Shawplan Lazerglaze pack for Vitrains 37 and are wondering what Glue if needed, people have found best to use without crazing the Glazing! I don't have access to Clear Polish that some may use but was wondering if either MEK or Liquid Glaze would be best. Cheers Trailrage

I've used these myself, I gave the wheel a coat of silver paint first but they come out really good. Transfer Quality is top notch and well worth doing. No affiliation with Railtech other than a very satisfied Customer. Cheers Trailrage

Thank You. coming from someone of your Calibre of work that means a lot! There is still much to do like fading the yellow ends and roof weathering, but I just don't seem to get much time to do any Modelling lately thanks again. Trailrage

Been on the Fence about this one since the announcement of this, but even the Excitement didn't persuade me due to a distinct lack of Disposable income. However SWMBO Convinced me to take the plunge and go for one. I just hope it will run with my 68 as I don't use DCC.

Terrible news this. Been Buying stuff from yourselves for well over 35 years and have had nothing but good service from the very friendly staff I have dealt with. Its always sad to see an establishment as this go but at least they can on their own terms. Too all Staff at Hattons. Thank you for your excellent years of dedication to our wonderful Hobby. I wish nothing but the best for all of you in these uncertain times. Thank you muchly. Trailrage

Your absolutely right about the Cycling industry. UK Distributer More and Large Closed last year as did Isla Bikes, Raleigh is under "restructuring" Cycling sports group in Poole looks to be closing, and something like 200 odd Shops have gone over the last year. Seriously worrying and difficult times in the Retail industry.

Hello Gareth. Thank you for that. I hope business is going good for you all especially after hearing the very sad news of Hattons Closing. Kind regards Trailrage

The Warrior cradles will be great for me as I'm need of two of them. Cant see them listed on tour site though. Are they still being made? Cheers Trailrage

There's some heavily modified Hornby models here. I have two of these to see what can be done. Its a great Sight with some incredible Modelling. EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects (emgauge70s.co.uk) Cheers railrage

It certainly was common to see just the outers mixed in with 'FSA/FTA sets down to Southampton from around 1998 to around 2005 with Freightliner 47's, 57's and 66's.

Heres some shots from Flickr. At some point the Containers were repainted Blue.

Whilst I've been at home with a nasty virus, I've managed to do a bit of weathering on an old Lima 60 using Humbrol Dark Brown Wash and Matt 62 paint. Highlighted areas of the Bogie Axles and suspension with Blue/black was and Railmatch Oily Steel. Not perfect and still need some more doing to it such as Roof and fading / patching of the yellow ends as well as details such as Wipers, Horns, Bogie steps, front Handrail replaced , Lamp Iron. And in the absence of a Shaw plan detail Kit I have weathered the grilles again with the Dark Brown Wash and highlighted areas with a Humbrol Blue/ Black wash. It will never be to James Makin's standard but I'm Pretty pleased so far still contemplating making my own Second man side windows as they should be two piece not 3.

I only use Code 75 Electro frog and the Current Code 100 Uni frog on Little Mans Layout so I cannot comment on Insulfrog but its super Smooth with no hesitation at all.
