    I have seen the latest production samples at the Kernow shop event. They are truly marvellous. I need to win the lottery!

    I saw the pre-production sample at Kernow this afternoon. It is a work of art! I am hugely impressed. I mentioned that Geoff Hudson is worth getting involved. He lives locally to Kernow. For those that don’t know he was Laira Depot manager at the end of the 50s in mainline service and was responsible for many of the repaints. He is a railway modeller and a true gentleman. He also knows all the fine details on each loco. Here he is with Defiance at Long Rock in March 2019. (second from the right).

    I’m coming down this afternoon. It’ll be great to see the Accurascale 37s as well as all the wonderful Kernow Limited Editions.

    My 97301 has arrived and it is, frankly, fantastic. She is superbly detailed and well finished. I operate DC and she runs like a dream. I like to fit nose ariels using painted toothbrush bristles. I see that 97301 had them up to around 2014 and then lost them. What was the reasoning for this?

    Thanks for confirming. There is an opportunity for those with 3D printers to make such things. They could be used in other Director’s Saloons, buffet coaches and Pullman coaches. Perhaps also good for miniature dolls houses.

    D1015 fitted with offset dominoes as in August 2002 when she spent ‘a day on the clay’ running a rake of CDAs from Goonbarrow to Fowey Carne Point. I just have to sort out the light bleed with black-tack.

    I have had confirmation from Dapol that the headcode blinds in the latest batch of 52s are not self-adhesive. I have cut mine out and fitted them behind the glazing using Glue n Glaze. I damaged one in trying to remove it as I had assumed it was self-adhesive. Fortunately I am being provided with a replacement by Albie the Plumber. Dapol are also sending me a replacement set.

    There’s a photo of Champion at Swindon in the snow in January ‘63 on page 55 of ‘Looking back at Westerns’ by Kevin Derrick (Strathwood). It has the yellow T. This was removed after a couple of days and was never carried in service. The ‘T’ re-emerged in 1985 at the Old Oak Common Open Day. It was also in this livery in August 2002 at St Blazey.

    Just received my replacement short air horn from Revolution. Excellent customer service. I am a very happy man.

    I ran a pair of my ECC liveried TUAs on a friend’s layout last night. We were having a ‘clay session’. The wagons ran faultlessly. I need to weather them. Can anyone point me to photos of weathered ECC wagons. Any help much appreciated

    Does anyone know where I can obtain spare headcode sets for the OO 52? I have D1015 and have damaged the ‘offset domino’ set. I need them to model Champion as running in 2002 when hauling the CDAs. I can’t find them on the DCC Supplies site. Any help much appreciated. Andrew

    Many thanks Just nabbed 37409. Andrew

    My Caroline arrived a few days ago. I am really pleased with it. A superb model. I am aware of the gripes on here about ride height and the ‘t’s on the NSE version but believe that we are really fortunate that Revolution took the risk in making such an iconic piece of rolling stock. I, for one, will be very happy to run it on our exhibition layouts without alteration. Andrew

    Brilliant addition to the range. These have run since the early 90s and are a must for steel trains. Thankyou Revolution, you have made an oldish man very happy. Andrew

    Cheers adb968008. I have just swapped mine to correct the minor problem. Now to fit the ploughs! Andrew

    I had the secondman’s seat missing from my 37423 which I had purchased from Rails. The Accurascale warranty team have been superb and a replacement seat arrived in the post this morning. Now that’s what I call customer service.

    Looks like Kernow honoured a pre-order price for you. Given the massive changes in inflation and world trade since Kernow’s release, I suggest that the new rrp is quite reasonable.

    I spoke to Geoff Hudson (retired Laira depot manager and 50 fan) at a model railway exhibition just over a week ago and we chatted about the different shades of green worn by 50007. He has all of the details.

    Just asking again. Can anyone help with our lighting issue on one 156 car?
  23. mevaman1
    Hi Bill Thankyou for your kind words. I really enjoyed the show and catching up with you. I’ve got some minor snags to sort out but the layout ran really well over the weekend. It also gave me the opportunity to run my China Clay stock. Regards, Andrew

    My friend David and I have been repairing a 156 bogie and have put everything back together. We are using DC control. The interior lights in one car are not working. We are trying to work out which connection may be loose. Can anyone identify where we need to be looking? Many thanks in anticipation, Andrew

    Hi James Many thanks for your comments. Yes, the show went really well. I have a couple of dry joints and coupling issues but enough of my personal problems.😀😉
