  1. Dave must say given the age of the photos and the time taken the quality and clarity of the image is fantastic must have used a better than average camera
  2. The demo models were on the Accurascale stand at Milton Keynes despite being sold out nomdoubtbtheybwill be displaying them again at Warley should have a sign saying look what you can’t get
  3. I see from the list of exhibitors that you are not going to be at Warley this year that’s a real shame as I was looking forward to seeing the layout in the flesh
  4. Strangely enough the man in the blue clothing looks like a modelu figure
  5. Andy, see what you mean the door looks rather flat and out of place by comparison with the rest of the build
  6. have a look at Kathy millets YouTube site she recently did an article on steam generators
  7. Simon have you thought about a track cleaning wagon may help with build up of detritus on wheels
  8. There have been problems with the suppression resistor on the new motor I cut mine off there is a picture of one model which is claimed melted a hole through the body
  9. Did you model the lighting gantry on a real location as they appear too tall for the size of depot and look more like the sort of structure you would see in a major marshalling yard
  10. Had a problem with my 7 car APT I thought it was the motor which had burnt out but just got the vehicle back from Hornby and it was actually the capacitor. Extremely fast repair and turn around with postage to be refunded. brought direct from Hornby who honored the pre-order price well done Hornby all round
  11. Hornby produced the original APT model before the real thing ran so not surprising the colours were wrong
  12. Probably too much material for soldering probably worth looking at brazing
  13. The photos in the file show the differences Point Motors.pdf
  14. Unfortunately the peco point motors are out of scale and far too large a HW2000 point motor which is 1500mm long and you can compare this with the inner running edge of rails which are 1432mm (1435mm) apart you used to be able to the correct size ones in white metal from colincraig4mm
  15. Andy as a thought when was the footbridge extension link to Olympia removed the section is currently blocked off with plywood
  16. That’s a great photo so nice to see a different view
  17. Love the camera tracking with the trains really shows off the length of the layout so impressive
  18. Skin tones and blonde hair are the hardest colours to get right in my opinion
  19. Andy when working under my baseboard I have a moulded wooden seat and back as one unit I brought from IKEA , no legs you sit on it as a normal seat and the back holds you upright you can even lean back to look up using your legs as a counterbalance
  20. Best to search the internet still places who will produce cut mdf
  21. Dave just seen there is a new book out called Scotland’s railways in The 1980s and 1990s A snapshot in time. Author Peter J Green
  22. Noting that revolution trains are going to produce the cartic 4 in n gauge I wonder if they will follow up with a 00 gauge model
