  1. I have two Dapol Brits including one of the new batch. Both go round second radius curves without any problem so 15" is certainly OK. I used to see the same Fish trains when they passed through Whetstone, just south of Leicester. Brits 70035-70041 inclusive were allocated to Immingham in the early 60s & all were used on the Grimsby-Whitland fish trains which passed through Whetstone approx 9pm every evening. Hope this helps David
  2. Excellent news. Was always my favourite location of the Chatham Show.
  3. Already done... https://railsofsheffield.com/blogs/news/n-gauge-newton-chambers-car-transporters
  4. Golden Arrow passing by Allington (Maidstone) this morning...
  5. Great Service. Placed an order mid-afternoon yesterday & delivered by APC this morning. First time I have purchased from Kernow but will continue to do so in future particularly as their website is one of the easiest to negotiate. David
  6. Kudu(61008) or Umseke(61028) for me please, both ex-GC locos which I used to see regularly.
  7. If it's rolling stock then Palbricks would be good. Also, how about a Diesel Brake Tender? Although I still have a Parkwood kit to assemble.
  8. Farish & Dapol both produced a B1 at the same time. I have a B1 from both manufacturers. My Dapol B1 is 61099 ref. ND-120A.
  9. I think that only the Peco code 55 Medium radius points are Unifrog so far. They haven't got round to updating the small, large and curved radius points.
  10. I visited on Friday & was hoping to purchase a copy of the Pocket Stockbook. Unfortunately the NAAFI didn't have any. I'll try again on my next visit. David
  11. 70010 appears in photos with no name plate, presumably as it is modelled in late condition. Does anyone know if there are any name plates in the accessory bag? David
  12. Three from my personal wishlist... I think that the LMS Twins in N Gauge would be popular. I'll take two. Maybe they could speak to Hattons about resurrecting the N Gauge Garratt project? Palbrick in N Gauge. David
  13. I'm currently constructing a new N gauge layout & using a Farish Class 08 for clearance checking. Then I'll do a final check using a Dapol 9F. If these 2 are OK then everything else will be.
  14. Any ubiquitous loco such as the LMS 4F would do well. I might be tempted.
  15. In N gauge a Crosti-boiler 9F. Ideally after upgrading the 9F to loco drive.
  16. I think they were classified as 16/1 but I don't think this reference was generally used before they were scrapped in 1968. I certainly don't recall it being used during their lifetime. Certainly not to be confused with Class 16. There is a project to build 10000 from scratch... https://lms10000.co.uk/
  17. I think that the LMS Twins would prove popular in N Gauge. Iconic locos that appeared in several different liveries & although they were LMR locos (working both west coast & midland lines) they also had a brief spell on the SR. I suppose Bachmann could shrink their OO version but they would also be ideal candidates for Revolution or Rapido.
  18. Hornby Hobbies are wholly owned by Hornby plc & SK is not listed as a Director of either Company. My knowledge of this area is from several years back so things may have changed but I was always led to believe that, for example, the title "Marketing Director" could only be applied to someone who was listed with Companies House as a Director of the Company with all the legal implications & responsibilities of being a Director. Whereas "Director of Marketing" is simply a job title reflecting someone's role but who is not a Company Director, or Board Member, in the legal sense. I'll get me coat except it's too hot.
  19. I see that Hattons have already sold outof their initial delivery of flexi-track, RH Point & country station.
  20. Don't suppose they will review their decision not to offer an N Gauge version? Just the standard livery would be fine.
