It’s now up on UKTV Play for those who have missed it. I’m watching it now

Does anyone know when it will appear on UKTV Play? Because ironically Monday night is club night and I missed it. It isn’t on there as of yet.

I received my J27 yesterday as a birthday present to myself next week. I’m very happy with it, and as I use 3 link couplings it’s a nice touch to add them in the box, my only criticisms is with these 3link couplings… there is no way to fit them into the hole proved into the plastic hook! I also think that the hook should be made from metal as well, even for people who don’t use 3 links it would look much better. I think that this model is a really nice one and the only things I will have to do is to paint a touch of black paint on the axle ends. I may have to invest in a J26 when they come out as well.

Have you considered doing a version of the cowcatchers without the hole for the tension locks for those of us who use 3 links instead?

Just out of interest, how are the J15 Colne Valley Cabs and tender cabs coming along?

I’ve just subscribed to the premium subscription. For that you get a platform 9 3/4 diorama to put it in

Thank you to everyone who has liked my build. The kit only took a couple of hours to put together. It practically built itself as that how good the kit is. There was a bit of flash on some of the sprues but for the most part the mouldings were crisp. I can’t wait to get started on the painting into LNER unlined teak. it was such a joy to build I’m already contemplating buying another one in the future.

Mine arrived this morning and by this afternoon...

Excellent news! I have just emailed you to order.

Cambrian do sell the LNER Diamond Bogies as a separate kit, I use them in place of parkside ones as they are one piece moulding and don’t fall apart easily. Maybe you could try replacing them?

I know this seems like a stupid question but are you using top hat brass bearings and what wheels are you using?

Jesse, Thank you for taking the time to talk to me yesterday, it was nice to finally meet you. Cheers Paul

I am indeed there tomorrow Jesse, I shall make more of an effort to find you

I’ve been looking out for you all day to let myself known to you I just can’t seem to see you anywhere Jesse

Not just for myself but hopefully for a lot of other Ex-Great Eastern modellers, I hope we get a few different varieties of the J69. Plenty of different variants covering a lot of British Railway history.
