  1. There's a brief glimpse of the building at the start of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1i5VIWp7HQ ...... the bridge certainly looks right.
  2. Not just bendy - but bent on my O15 ....... did wonder if the plastic packaging had pushed them upwards - but I don't think so.
  3. .... but will the reassembly instructions make any more sense ??!?
  4. Off hand I don't think any of those locomotives operated on the Longmoor Military Railway when built .............. though I'm willing to be corrected on that..
  5. They probably realise that not all railway modellers hold a Firearms License !
  6. I don't expect a serious gap problem with the three-links when I get round to them !
  7. At first sight we've got two identical Kitchen Cars with the kitchen ends coupled ............ but the all-steel vehicle leading will be a Kitchen First and the wooden-bodied one a Kitchen Third so positioning is probably important.
  8. ... and we'll all happily watch the video you post on the appropriate 'HOP 21 by Accurascale' thread ! 😊
  9. Recess for the angle cranks transferring lateral to longitudinal motion ?
  10. I don't think those are 08 wheels - firstly they look less than 4'6'' and the crank shouldn't be waisted ............. industrial loco of some sort ?
  11. Seems rather pointless having it there with no words of explanation. First though was that it was from a preserved loco where the smokebox has been replaced ......... but you'd expect the fittings to be transferred ! - does it have a tube plate or has it been blanked off ?
  12. Rather depends whether you consider moulded-on door & grab handles to be shabby, I suppose ??!? ( no hurry as far as I'm concerned - unless I have a sudden urge to change my modelling period )
  13. 63' non-gangwayed Mk1s OUGHT to be done first - as an intermediate step if nothing else.
  14. Well, my vans don't seem to have reached the Forest of Dean yet - so you're doing well ! Yes, I think the matter of safety loops has been raised before ...... there weren't any ! : the crossbeams ( which should be an elongated lozenge shape ) had a safety chain at each end connected to somewhere behind the solebar.
  15. The majority of heritage railway vehicles are little different from out-of-the-box standard coaches already available from the trade - though you might have to bite that ever-so-hard bullet and commit to renumbering ..... other coaches modified with wheelchair lifts or whatever are generally unique and would only have a tiny market in rtr model terms - but they could be produced from standard products with a little proper modelling !
