  1. She used to be fine... I need to find the time to strip it right down and see what's going on.. Deluxe certainly make some good stuff..I love rocket glue.
  2. Interesting that you found that much of a difference.. I did look at their stand, but I figured thin oil was thin oil.... Maybe next time I run out, I'll look again. Although my Dean Goods isn't running well, so maybe some different oil might help.
  3. The busy yard has had an arrival of Bananas...
  4. I'll echo the comments already in this thread.. However, based on previous information, there is nothing quite like seeing you start another layout! Looking forward to the new project....
  5. My Derails pre-orders have generally arrived very promptly. Enjoying my last Rapido wagons with a pack of biscuits is really nice. All my recent orders have gone their way.
  6. I'm glad it's not just me that thinks the rails marketing machine is a little keen! I've started to worry if my email isn't working if I don't get a mail from them each day ;)
  7. GWR Versions arrived this afternoon... I tried to remove one of the van roofs. It wouldn't move easily, but it clearly a separate part...
  8. Very smart.. I'll sit here at Reading waiting for it to arrive.. Which end is the driver? Or did you go for it and put someone in both ends?
  9. The nicely lined mogul, now with plates and driver fitted, pauses at Oregon Jnt. Need to find some lamps... But I can't quite bring myself to sort out a better coal load yet...
  10. I bought some white metal replacement buffers... Then you start to add up the costs, kit, buffers, new wheels, paint, varnish, time...... Give them a refresh once the new ones have arrived :)
  11. I've a few on order... Keep checking my email, but no dispatch notice yet!! I've a good pile of the Coopercraft ones as well - Pretty sure there is a box of more somewhere! I actually think they sit along side each other fairly well on a layout and, I'd rather add some slight weathering to a model I painted than a brand new, expensive one out of the box.
  12. SRM looks good at Henley... I know what you mean about weathering, I think mine is going to have a clean roof for a while yet..
  13. There is only so long you can put off getting the paints out...
  14. I've had a flurry of likes for my posts, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to have a read about my little layout. I really enjoy the hobby, so any joy I can share by posting from time to time is great! Anyway.. I've repaired the roofs of the 6 'best' coaches I dug out from the 9, the vents needing replacing. I've re-painted the roof of one, but the rest probably need work. One needed re-wheeling, they had gone rusty. It makes me wonder about swapping the old plastic wheels with metal ones. But that's quite an expensive change. Some of the couplings were broken, so I've swapped them all with hunt coupling buckeye's for 'clips' they are listed for the HST, but slot nicely into the old Dapol ones. Then I've replaced the corridor connections between each one. Just need to fix one buffer now!
