  1. I found this a useful information: https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=46475.msg618871#msg618871 Works for me: SP Daylight Orange (close) Humbrol 46 (also Railfreight Red?!?) ATSF/FEC/L&N Blue (close) RAL5002: Revell 161 PC Green (close) Revell 365 BN Green (close) Revell 364 UP Yellow RAL 1028 Oh, by the way Has anyone hints for BR Rail Freight colors (Humbrol/Revell) ? RF gray? RF Red? RF light /medium/ dark gray?
  2. The Athearn' car is based on a PFE R-70-12: http://www.railgoat.railfan.net/spcars/byclass/reefer/r070-12.htm
  3. All German goods wagons owned by the DR 192O (including those build since the 1880s) until today are covered by Stephan Carstens et al : Güterwagen Vol. 1-9 . Very expensive but well worth it.- numerous drawings, photos, data und often modelling hints: https://www.stefancarstens.de Vol, 6 (brake vans) includes in depth roster discussions, and for example, half of the vans owned 1920 were Verbandsbauart standard Stephan
  4. Well worth viewing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bullet_Train The hmmm remake turned the train into a 🙄 bus and is well known as "Speed"
  5. Nearholmer, another German article: So, it was the first diesel build in Austria and the first British mainline diesel loco 50 Jahre Dieselokomotiven ; H.K. Stockklausner; Basel 1963 Btw .... take a close look at the cover: D7063, London and Cambridge: https://www.lner.info/locos/Experimental/Graz040.php
  6. LNER - returned after a few weeks, the hydro-static transmission was a failure
  7. Martin580120, I thought I was the only one who was overwhelmed by the kit. Your post inspires courage -Thanks !!! Well..... - where is my soldering iron .... 🎯 Stephan
  8. May be the idea is not just British but Continental too? Think about the Dutch Railways - NS had Class 11, Class 76 (for a short time but still...) and 77s. Many steam locos were build in the UK and might be adapted to/from British Locos. And there were of course the WD 2-8-0 and 2-10-0s.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trains_in_the_Netherlands#Steam_locomotives With the right partner, British TT could give Dutch TT a boost...... Oh, Piko is a major manufacturer in NS N-scale Models, and they are in TT too -hmmmmm And then there are/were Class20 /37/ and 58 in France/Spain and lately rail adventure HSTs and Class 86/87 in Bulgaria and Hungary ..... I am not in TT scale but i would be tempted by a Class 08 and some clay wagons plus Polybulks and Ferryvans.....
  9. Look like a dutch PA ("porteur aménagé") container to me - an idea which was quickly adopted by other continental railways. I could not find a picture of NS PA- container, but here is a German one: More on german ones: https://modellbahnfrokler.de/foto/bzf-bawue-ekrt.jpg There were even DB PA ferry-flats (10 build in 1957)-I could not find any pictures of these cars, but here is a link for a H0 kit: https://www.wagenwerk.de/fahrzeuge/gueterwagen/5683/bausatz-faehrboot-behaeltertragwagen-btbs-56-epoche-iii-beschriftung-3d-druck As for the UK loading gauge, the PA containers were loaded sideways, like on the truck in the picture above Stephan
  10. Sadly Sidney Poitier passed away on Friday, January 7. In the the famous 1967 movie "In the Heat of the Night" Poitier played Virgil Tibbs, a homicide detective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d15DhX_ltls&t=156s The movie starts and ends at the Railway station - some great RR footage with a GM&O E-Unit and MoPac Diesels and roundhouse: https://obscuretrainmovies.wordpress.com/2019/03/01/in-the-heat-of-the-night-1967/ Great film with a great actor and some great RR scenes.
  11. Growing old, one left France to see the world: https://dansk-jernbanearkiv.dk/sncfu.htm Stephan
  12. Thanks for great pictures!! The PC car is a Seaboard Coast Line car - and the UP and BN cars got wheel inspection dots (yellow circle on black square). Very 1978ish: http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/13/t/163471.aspx Cheers Stephan
  13. Very nice RP 25 wheels are sold by http://www.modellbahn-radsatz.de/h0/radsaetze-h0-rp25/jouef/index.php Availability in the UK (and hmmmm the North Frisian Islands ) is also difficult. You could try to contact them via their E-Bay shop: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/benno002-22?_trksid=p2047675.l2563
