    York Show 2024

    88D replied to john new's topic in Exhibitions

    Well, that was a grand day out. Spent wisely, watched lots, and had loads of good conversation. Excellent layouts, but too many to pick out as favourites.

    Culm will not be attending. This was notified before Christmas, but has escaped the net and is still appearing on the layout list.

    Great shot. Looks like a South Wales des res.

    That’s the technique I use as well. It keeps the shape, and the tarp can made to look newer/stiffer by increasing the PVA strength. I then paint with acrylics.

    Is there any reason why an RC loco cannot retain its pickups and then run on powered track? If so, are there requirements that need to be put in place,eg receiver switched off,etc?

    Hadn’t spotted this reply when I posed a cut and shut possibility. Many thanks for this, and I shall look for the rtr version.

    If anyone were to do it, then my money would have been on Falcon: they made kits for everything going! If I can’t find anything, I’ve thought of doing a horizontal cut and shut on a 4000 gall tender- I wonder if that would work?

    Is there a kit for a Collett 3500 gall tender, 4mm?

    Really good show, stayed there for 4 hours or so. Impressive layouts, backup trade and good value refreshments. Met a load of people I haven’t seen for a while. Good time!

    Black doors and steps makes sense: the GWR tended to paint areas black that would get dirty, even specific window areas in signal boxes.

    I’ve read somewhere that the cab doors were painted black, but I’m not certain on this. Perhaps, somebody more knowledgable can comment?

    Didn’t Triang do a 4000gall tender?

    Rookie question. I have bound my receiver to the controller, but is it possible to rebind the receiver to a different number setting afterwards?

    A few of us went to show on Saturday. We really enjoyed, good layouts across most scales. As you would expect in Burnley, the lunchtime pie was excellent.

    Many thanks to Peter Rigby for arranging the show: really good all round. Considering the show is in the middle of holiday time in August, then 400+ is a respectable number of attendees — I hope the EMGS is happy with that.

    It was a really good show allround: layouts, trade and demonstrations. I hope the numbers are good enough to keep it going.

    Good to see that Ellis Clark are catering for EM and P4 modellers— I wish more of the other manufacturers did the same.

    Thanks for all your efforts here. I shall find these very useful.

    Consider putting Linuxonto your PC. Easier to manage because youhave fewer worries about viruses, etc. also runs a hell of a lot faster even on oldspec PCs.

    As with you, Johnster, I prefer the Safford Rd bogies - but it pains me to pay the postage charge from Holland. I wish something could be done about it!
  21. 88D
    Why are these details not on the EMGS website?
  22. 88D
    I’ve got a number of coaches like this: wartime brown one side, chocolate and cream the other. The wartime brown is used on top of cocked-up normal GW livery!
  23. 88D
    I don’t think they got extra leg room: I think the false wall was flat and the bowend outside it. Like you say, why bother? I may be wrong though!
  24. 88D
    I’m glad you can prove it! It means , though, that I have to modify most of my coaches now! My rule has been 64’ and upwards - 4 trusses, anything below - 2 trusses ( except restaurant, slips and pre-angleiron). Live and learn.
  25. 88D
    I notice that the photo of the underframe shows four sets of truss rods. For this size of GWR coach, should this not be two? I’ll get my coat.
