Clock O' The North

Cheers Mate. Worked a dream. A double layered 0.01" thick packing underneath both sides at one end worked a treat. Running like a dream now. Thanks.

G'day All, Finally received my 21 in the mail after far too long. Put it on the track to run it in annnd it lurches. It appears to lurch to one side before the motor kicks in. It only lurches in one direction. Runs fine once moving. Any suggestions on how to cure? Cheers

Could the Victorian Railways DD Class or the New South Wales 30 Class.

There are final livery sample photos around of the J71 and J72, so it will be made. The V2 is another kettle of fish.

I'm pretty sure Dapol picked up the license for the 88 when they picked it up for the 68.

I had a similar problem with my Black Peckett, which wasn't present on the MSC and H&P versions. The problem, at least in my case, was the connecting rod was rubbing on the top crosshead guide. By ever so slightly bending the connecting rod inwards, the problem was resolved. I hope this helps, as at least on mine, it seems to run a whole better.

Good evening. More work has been done on this. In fact it is nearly completely finished. A few things to do, including add figures, and some more details

Sorry. I didn't realise your intention was to post it. I just thought I'd ask

Just for some context Black Hat, could we get a list of each of the Locomotives types that are present in the graph, for an idea of what seems to be polling well.

"Somewhere in East Anglia, on a branchline, the day goes on". The cakebox challenge peaked my interest a while ago, but I haven't gotten around to starting one. This is my entry. Inspired by quaint goods yards that populated many stations in East Anglia. The plan is simple, model a goods yard with a small signal box, a goods loading platform and possibly an abandoned third road, for what probably would of been the long gone passing loop. The board will be 3mm piece of MDF, cut to 8"x8", as per the specifications. Height will not be an issue. This should be a fairly simple cakebox. The pictures should give an idea of what I'm talking about.

Railmodeller Pro is the best solution for Mac, that includes running SCARM, xtrackcad and AnyRail(while using Wine). It might not have the same abilities, but it gets the job done, and It is quite good to be able to pull your computer out and just fiddling with ideas. You have no idea what you could come up with.

Bachmann can't use the exact same tooling as their Thomas slate wagons due to copyright reasoning. It would be an all new tooling. It's still a nice range, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.

I have a feeling it could be an industrial, just by the fact that it has been 2 years since Hornby announced theirs...................Or a LNER J27, I really don't mind

DJ, of the allocated price for a J94, 90 pound, what constitutes the vast majority of the engine. Is it the chassis, the production costs per model or the actual plastic. Thanks

Great modelling mate. just a quick point. The B17s, K1s and O1s, at least in my experience have problems with the Peco medium radius points, due to the pipes from the cylinders forward. It's a shame I know but I personally haven't found a fix for it yet. CotN
