  1. The optional heater is funny! I can imagine the complaints from the Mrs when you didn't purchase that option...
  2. No traction tires and RP25 on the "American" version. https://www.piko-america.com/products/97447-sp-9002-diesel-loco-ho-scale This German site has some pics of pre production models. https://www.drehscheibe-online.de/foren/read.php?010,10559908
  3. I'm thinking the shot across the top of the Hattons' article showing four 22s are of the new run? There is some resolution there, if you open the image in a new tab...
  4. HURRAH! Looks like they are imminent... https://www.hattons.co.uk/directory/versiondetails/article?id=310
  5. Thank you, details have been submitted. I'm in the USA, so it is always a pain to return items to the UK. To be fair to Rapido, the only other item I have had to return in many years was that Pi Victory in the video. It came back a very smooth runner...
  6. Thank you, I will that under consideration.
  7. So my Rapido 15xx arrived stateside the other day, cosmetically very nice, a couple of very minor glue marks but I'm otherwise quite pleased. It is lively on the rolling rolling road, about on par with some of my Bachy Panniers. The 15xx is geared higher than the Pi Victory, so this isn't a totally fair video, and the 15xx should settle down a bit on track pulling a train. Smooth as clockwork though, it isn't.

  8. That Pannier on the Channel Islands Boat Express looks like it has a bell. This is a new one for me. Was the bell a requirement for street running?
  9. The new Athearn Genesis, Republic Locomotive RX 500 switcher, in HO Scale. DCC Sound equipped, with lights, and stay alive. 230524_53_silverbay - crop by lmyers83, on Flickr
  10. A 50 on an MGR at Stafford... https://flic.kr/p/2m5nhk4
  11. Interesting pricing, not the usual 100 quid difference between sound and not versions...
  12. Hattons just added 10800 to my trunk. Now to see how long I wait before hitting the send button... 😀
  13. These rolling pins look great. I am going to order a smaller, 1-4 mm stone roller. The roller linked below produces 4mm square stones. That would be approximately 7 inch square stones in 7mm scale? https://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/modelling-textured-rolling-pins/867-rolling-pin-sett-pavement.html
  14. If your paint is coming from a jar, it helps to filter the paint as well, when you add it to the airbrush cup. I use a piece of a metal coffee filter, the kind meant to replace the paper filters. I'm fairly meticulous about cleaning the cap and rim when a jar is opened, but you would be surprised what ends up in the filter. Paint first through filter, then thinner or retarder to wash the remaining paint through the filter.
  15. The original weathered wood. I found another one that is further gone...
