  1. Always been an earlyish adoptor. Did DVD very early on. Had an early IDTV. Video camera (S/H) in 86
  2. These are great little motor bogies!
  3. I am currently putting pickups on an MJT 34mm wheelbase bogie ready to go under my Swindon 120 DMBC, the other end of the floor is cut away ready for the one different bogie. It helps to do DMUs in pairs that way I do not waste an MJT bogie. The partner is under the cab end of my Gloucester 119 DMBC.
  4. I would be interested in some of the wagons depending on what they are, also possibly some of the carriage sides, there are a couple of ones I would like if they are in the pile, a Mousa (Bedford) GWR BT for a start.
  5. I played PS3 on a CRT for nearly a year
  6. The ones I buy would not. They once did a tv with built in PS2. Have always bought that brand TV video recorders, video cameras and games consoles.
  7. I will need a 1420 for my Swindon 120 as it will work similar services to my Gloucester 119, but the next ones are in side form only. So not urgent but will want a matching pair. Please reserve me a bogie and motor for when you reopen. Found out the original Swindon Inter City sets are same profile and windows as the 120 so I am building an early 6 car WR set. I did work out what I needed for my 2P but forgot the gearing! That will get the biggest motor I can squash in.
  8. I bet my TV manufacturer does NOT do that, but has tried something similar in the past.
  9. Depends on the buyer, collectors MAY pay a lot to get a box of 2/3rds of a DMU and a spare motor brake . Modellers like Clive and I would be looking at it to fix the final 1/3rd or just make something different, so go for anything. I have converted a white stripe PTE and a NSE trailer into a different trailer. My personal Lima limit is up to £10 per trailer, £20 per motor. So you may get £50 from a modeller.
  10. As soon as you open you are going to be inundated. I already need a Low Rider, plus a loco motor and gearbox for a converted from tender to loco drive steam loco. And then another matched pair of Low Riders.
  11. The BCK used to be mainline registered and was seen on BR in 1985 with the GWR 150 set.
  12. I do like that, was considering it, also looked and thought too awkward to do on the Cameo, so far produced 9 pairs DMU sides a station and a shed.
  13. No because they are not very good. Do not mix up lack of detail with poor accuracy
  14. I did make the point when I met them at Warley a few years go on thanking them for the ones they did and buying a few hoppers.
  15. I think the 25 is a nice model and the 47 looks like a 47
  16. The Ellesmere Port GM V6 was pretty good, and a lot smaller.
  17. Wagons - aghhhhh I managed a few I needed by the simple method of nagging. Nagging got me quite a few BR Tube wagons, and quite a few BR 21t hoppers. Yes I nagged Parkside for ages. A BR plate I made by converting a pre BR Parkside plate (not sure which railway). Over half of my VB stock is Parkside, the rest is mainly Airfix. AB was well catered by Cambrian who upon my nagging made sure they did chassis for their 4W AB stuff. I am afraid that is my full list of nagging acheivements all thanked with multiple purchases. I now need some ex LMS ironstone wagons, no kits, no RTR and very fiddly to chop out of plastic card. Hmm who would I bother now?
  18. Just running trains, is this different to operating? I just like to watch them go by.
  19. Not much more to see but lots done. Repair work to DMSL cab as split joint. Currently drilling holes in them. Door handle at 9.5mm from bottom Grab handle (standard Mark1!!!!) 8mm and 11mm from bottom Filler pipe ends, 4mm from bottom Roof vents on two rows 6.75mm from roof centre line Will use MJT shell vents 1mm rod for toilet tank fillers Comet fan vent MJT door and grab handles Just need some soft wire for exhausts, I MAY have some copper suitable in the shed failing that will check a DIY shop for anything suitable.
