  1. Back to the original topic, does this mean there are/were 4 tunnels? -York Curve -Hotel Curve -Maiden Lane Curve -One feeding the current new Thameslink Station under St Pancras?
  2. Oh wow, awesome diagram! I know about the Met -> GNER tunnel (where the Signal Box is now) but what are the purple lines to the right, going under the middle of LS? Is that a second tunnel?
  3. Thank you for all the replies, this is very interesting!
  4. Alex/Cav, slight oddity with the packaging. For some reason the plastic which "seats" the right bogey is a different depth to the left side. It's slightly shallower and forces the bogey upwards, to sit at a bit of an awkward angle. It's minor but should be easy to fix. Lovely model though!!!!!! Given how similar they are to the BBA, could you please produce these 13x BWA which Baz mentioned a few years ago:
  5. I did a quick search and couldn't find an existing thread on here. If you look at Shoeburyness on Google maps you will see a huge complex heading towards the North East with a very extensive rail system. It was used by the MoD for munitions testing. Does anyone have more information? I'm particularly interested what sectorisation locomotives served/were based here during the late 80s/early 90s.
  6. This is what I just don't get. Surely the more-produced, the more they can spread the fixed costs (design etc) over? Then the model ends up on Ebay and goes for silly amounts.
  7. I really don't see how there can be a future for this hobby, given the prices. Most young people can't even buy cars without credit, let alone a £300 plastic model. It wouldn't be so bad if they were diecast
  8. So they've retooled the HST but there's no Intercity Swallow livery???
  9. Never realised Kadee are actually HO gauge. Does this make much difference for OO?
  10. Cavalex have not released a 56 (yet). The Hornby 56 has been the standard for years. And you required clarification?
  11. And it really never crossed your mind I may be referring to Hornby's "current offering"? You seriously couldn't join that dot?
  12. Forgive the blunt question but what are the tooling/motor differences between this and the current offering?

    That's a rather good reason!

    I'm not massively knowledgeable, so feel free to correct but I should avoid Oxford & Bachmann for Intercity (Swallow) 125 coaches?

    Sorry, I probably should have said I'm interested in Swallow livery.

    Assuming Hornby don't announce any new tooled MK3 coaches, which are the best quality ones currently available?
  17. Which initial set did you have and which coaches expansion pack didnt match?
  18. Hi, does anyone have Hornby R3602tts, pair of Class 43 HST in Intercity Swallow livery. Running numbers 43078 and 43079. Photo below
  19. How many Intercity 125/Class 43s were in Swallow livery? Anyone know the answer or where I can find out the answer?
  20. Sorry if this is a daft question but if Peco now produce ready-made EM points for the EMSG, what is the purpose behind this? Is it Peco/EMSG only produce flexi and B6, whereas you're producing many more different turnouts? Thanks,
