Just taken the plunge and ordered an MR Fowler Class 483 4-4-0 by Millholme kits with Markits wheels set. Buxton had an allocation of 8 of this class in the late 1920s to replace ageing 1Ps and saturated 4-4-0s. Photo from Wiki.

A great promise of things to come.

Aston On Clun. A Great Western might have been.

I use the cheapo super glue our local "all sorts" emporium sells. A thin layer is applied to one surface then I damp the other surface slightly before offering the two together. There's no time for a second go as super glue needs moisture to cure and it does so virtually instantaneously. -
With wires when the lines will be for diesel.

SMP/Marcway copperclad turnout review
Rowsley17D replied to hayfield's topic in Handbuilt Track & Templot
It's highly likely a turnout kit would go by Large Letter postage £1.29 (1st) or 96p (2nd) plus the cost of a box about 60p. -
If it's of any help, the roof trusses in my Scalescenes' goods shed are like this:

PM sent. £40+ seems to be the going rate for some of Turton's volumes. I have 1-3, 7-9 and 11-13 also Bill Hudson's 3 & 4. If you want me to try and look something up.

Gill Head: Kirkby Luneside's neighbour

Looking fantastic, Jeff. You must be vey proud of your achievement in building such a solid-looking structure. -
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the underframe should be wooden. There's a lovely photo of the brand new 373, part of an order of 25 in 1937 from Gloucester Railway C&W Co Ltd in Turton A First Collection.

The loco coal wagons have got their removeable loads. The base is spongy foam. I glued some washers on the back so in theory I could lift them out with a magnet but I cannot as they are too good a fit!

I could say I have a similar problem with my motor train, but I haven't really. There's a driver in the trailer and one in the cab, but it's hard to make out the one in the trailer and the one in the cab is on the non-viewing side! -

Who's a lucky boy then? Looks as though it's crying out for passengers because of those large windows. Any plans? I hope it's easy to take apart if you have. -
Great stuff. Perhaps you can persuade your customer to take some photos and email them to you.

Cannot wait to see it on the layout, but I guess that could be some time away under current circumstances.
