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

The engines look great. For the colour maybe a deep green or a deep blue would work on them. Other than that they do look good. Lachlan

Hello If you're still looking for another crane, try the Walthers Cornerstone Crane: https://www.walthers.com/products/layout/structures/waterfront/pier-traveling-crane-kit-pier-12-5-8-x-5-3-4-x-1-1-2-quot-crane-4-x-4-x-9-1-8-quot-empty. Its a nice crane that looks good and could be motorised if need be.

Unless they are Australian...

Dave, Just a quick question. When do you think the next update about the Hudswell Clarke Be released? Just curious as it will be a very nice model.

Just A Quick Question, Would a Centurion Mk3 fit in the loading Gauge on a Warwell? If not could anyone supply a partial or full list of what could be carried on these during the late 50s to early 60s?

These names really are giving me a laugh. Some crews for about 1950 would be brilliant. Can you back date that far?

Just 2. Both have 2 members in the class. Ones the LNER P1. the other the LNER Z5

Right. My wishlist from Oxford. These include various railways. Starting with the NER G5 J26/J27(or both) N10 GER E4 Y4 SECR P class LB&SCR A1/A1x Terrier Rolling Stock GNR Brick Wagons NER Push-Pull Stock(To go with the G5) LNER Armour Plate Wagons

I may sound dumb here but what class is it? It looks like a good first attempt at a scratch built locomotive. Lachlan
