  1. Actually a Costi is a bit harder they had smaller boilers and when rebuilt that's why they were 8F.
  2. Do you want to find out there's a market for TT:120? Let Hornby do the finding! lol Then join that market if there is one.
  3. It's always been a kit although that's not really what it is. More a unassembled/unpainted Peco BR 20 ton brakevan with the ducket missing and part's to make it look more like SR one.
  4. Due to Hornby being a rather underhand company when it comes to competitors I have decided to think about it............a bit....
  5. Myself I always go to the railway station to catch a railway.......
  6. I would suggest that the variations could be covered by someone else just like Crownline in the old days.
  7. I personally am taking my Rovex Princess back to the model shop, it's never worked right. Or I would do if the shop hadn't closed in 1978.......
  8. Hornby 100 years? Should it not be Rovex 80 ish years or Wrenn not that long? lol
  9. I think you actually found the problem here. Just do the screws up to hold the body on the chassis. No tighter.
  10. Reference wise these photos by Steve Jones on Flickr might help. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tutenkhamunsleeping/albums/72157625197320866 You do have to scroll down a bit!
  11. Is it me or has no one mentioned Garth Model Co on Whitchurch Road? Lendons as I lived in Llanishen was my model shop, Mr James or the James in James and Lendon ran it and was always helpful and would happily show me what ever I wanted to see that he had in stock. Dispute the fact my pocket money was only 50p! James and Lendon was a bicycle (James) and model shop (Lendon), something happened to Mr Lendon and Mr James took over the modeling side or so the story goes.
  12. I may have missed it but here's my bit. The Lima body has bunker steps on both sides of the bunker, when they should only be on the Firemans or left from front side.
  13. The chassis that 56XX body is designed for is actually from the Farish General Purpose tank or the old Farish 94XX Pannier. A few people over the years have modded the GP tank over the years to represent a Rhymney Railway Class S or S1 tank a couple lasted into the 1950's.
  14. Here's an example of Grandfather rights at Ewell West station near Epsom on the South Western. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bridge,_Ewell_West_Station,_Surrey_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1778314.jpg When the platforms were extended the road over bridge got in the way so they dip under the bridge to create headroom and are only about 5 ft wide! Trains that don't stop there go through the station at 70 mph......
  15. I would drop an e-mail to the Great Western Society. info@didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk
