  1. Anyone find the video opening a bit sinister? And it's TT:120
  2. How about that black 20 with huge nose, to continue the oh oh seven theme!
  3. All I've got is the occasional front page, otherwise 504 or 502 errors. Talk about shoot both feet off with a cannon.
  4. All very true, but Billinton was the locomotive engineer of the LBSCR, not SECR! The Hornby Thomas was made from the mutilated tool that used to be the Hornby LBSCR E2 model I believe.
  5. Hi all, Just perusing the new Hornby 2021 catalogue, and spotted a couple of howlers. Apparently the Hornby Dublo Merchant Navy pacifics are designed by Sir William Stanier. I'm sure the Deltic "Ballymoss" has two L's and not just one... I don't believe the engineer had a G in Billinton. He was LBSCR, so why is there an E2 in SECR colours? Just as fictional as the Thomas moulding this obviously was! I know, I know it's pedantry but they made me chuckle. I always enjoy looking through the catalogue each year, and dreaming for a moment of having a huge layout to run everything on! Apart from the minor niggles it's a super book. Well done to Hornby. David
  6. Yes this is like my one, just without the driving wheels and mechanism. No mine has no winding hole and no evidence of one being present and been filled in. Cheers David
  7. I've recently been given a bunch of old models, ranging from a Matchbox "Lord of the Isles" through a bunch of disintegrating Kitmaster models to the loco in the title. It's a Gauge 1 model of a LNWR tank engine. The leading bogie and rear pony truck are present and wheeled. Unfortunately there are no driving wheels. A lack of hole in the side tank ( and no evidence of it being filled in) suggested this was an electric model. It appears from my internet searching that this is a 4-4-2 loco. Is there such a thing as a replacement drive unit mechanism? If a motor unit is not available, I wonder how difficult it would be to fabricate something to at least have it as a static model?
