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.

@Enterprisingwestern
I'm sure we would love to see your notes - this thread is not restricted to photographs. We have already had several interesting anecdotes.
Cheers
Trevor
Seconded!

I've tried to check if this group has been linked to already, but can't see that it has. (If it has already been linked, apologies.)

This is a Flickr group specifically for photos taken in 1968. While it's mostly steam, the description says that pictures of 'modern traction' are equally as welcome, and there are quite a few.
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!

A small prairie awaits its next turn...
Love that weathering job! A set of etched cabside numberplates would really be the icing on the cake, though!

47383 enters the exchange sidings (where it will have its coupling straightened...

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!

I have a few more photos of different vehicles that I can Post at a later date.
Yes please!

Busy day on Worthing MRC's 'Loftus Road' as slam-doors make way for the next generation
That VEP is spot on!
-
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.
-
Think that 47's the best weathering job I've seen done in N - honestly thought it was OO til I clocked the couplings!

Steam-hauled Mk2s: Southern region had at least one Mk2 (a FK) which was green - I have a photo of it (in a book) 2nd in a long train of green mainly Bulleid coaches leaving Waterloo for Basingstoke in 1966 hauled by 5MT 73118. I dont imagine there were many of these, it may have been unique.

Also seen a photo of this / one of these, being hauled by a Merchant Navy in 66/67.

Well, my copy's arrived, and well worth the wait!
-
Speaking personally, don't feel you have to rush to the money shot - these are all interesting updates!
-
Can these links just be hung on the standard coupling hooks of Bachmann and Hornby wagons without any modification?
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!

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!)

Panic Room - Incarnate. Playback of album at the launch party with the band.
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!
-
Finally got round to buying Odin Dragonfly's 'Offerings', and I've no idea why I hadn't done it sooner!
-
Very impressive detail for OO!
-
I wouldn't know, we are not well served by rail.
Nor is anywhere that gets 153s!
-
The BIN price is just insane - three hundred notes for a Hornby model?!?!?
Blimey, that's almost retail price!
-
However, it's not what I call Marillion. I was/still am a huge fan of the band's first incarnation with Fish and this isn't the same band to me and should really have another name.
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

And speaking of Anne-Marie Helder
[The Dark Room - Luna Rossa]
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!

Does anyone know where I may purchase a set of "Royal Pioneer" nameplates in OO 4mm
Try http://narrowplanet.co.uk/ - no connection, just a satisfied (repeat) customer. Not always the fastest service, but you get a quality product!
