  1. I've owned a fair few Bachmann 08s and never had one that ran any less than perfectly! Far better runners in my experience than the Hornby equivalent, though you sacrifice some of the finer detail.
  2. Ok, I'll own up - I started the group mainly to garner reference photos for a layout I'd love to get round to making!
  3. Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes.
  4. Love that weathering job! A set of etched cabside numberplates would really be the icing on the cake, though!
  5. 47383 enters the exchange sidings (where it will have its coupling straightened... )
  6. In rapidly falling light, Silmarillion arrives at the Exchange Sidings with a loaded rake of HAAs, whilst Blackfield II awaits further duties. ... Yes, I know, I'll dig out the SLR and do it properly at some point!
  7. The colours look excellent on that! If I were you I'd invest in a set of etched nameplates to really set it off; at the moment the printed names are the most obvious sign that it's a model.
  8. Think that 47's the best weathering job I've seen done in N - honestly thought it was OO til I clocked the couplings!
  9. Also seen a photo of this / one of these, being hauled by a Merchant Navy in 66/67.
  10. Well, my copy's arrived, and well worth the wait!
  11. Speaking personally, don't feel you have to rush to the money shot - these are all interesting updates!
  12. Well, yes and no... You CAN drill a small hole into Hornby/Bachmann 3 link hooks and hang 3 links off them, but they tend to be far too shallow in design to survive much shunting. In my experience it's worth the short-term hassle of fitting proper coupling hooks to avoid having to constantly re-couple wagons every few seconds!
  13. Reminds me very much of a photo I took on one of last year's charters on the KWVR! (With a similar coloured sky too!)
  14. Couldn't make it to the gig, but can't wait to get my copy! I'd ask if it's any good, but that'd be a daft question!
  15. Finally got round to buying Odin Dragonfly's 'Offerings', and I've no idea why I hadn't done it sooner!

    EBay madness

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Bed-detached-house-/251398056778?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3a887deb4a Very impressive detail for OO!
  17. Nor is anywhere that gets 153s!

    Blimey, that's almost retail price!
  19. I agree, not least because it would reduce the amount of "Bring back Fish!" comments on everything they upload anywhere on the internet! (Not aimed at you, you're making a reasoned point )
  20. There's only one problem with that track - it's right at the beginning of the album, and as a result I often don't get past track 1 (after several repeat plays) on a drive to work!
  21. Try http://narrowplanet.co.uk/ - no connection, just a satisfied (repeat) customer. Not always the fastest service, but you get a quality product!
