    Give it a rest, Accurascale is a company with full time staff. SLW is 2 people with full time jobs, doing model railways as a side line. Victims of their own success , certainly. They are honouring the price set years ago. They can only do this by not taking on staff, so cut them some slack and just be patient like the rest of us.

    For those awaiting sound fitted, of the currently in stock class 25's had a call today from SLW checking card and address details, and was told sound fitted loco's should be despatched in 4 to 6 weeks.

    I was starting to worry, but it seems everyone who ordered a sound fitted 25324 are waiting for theirs too. Oh well, back to drooling over my Cavalex 56.

    Yes, my good lady gave it a run around the layout on Sunday

    Excellent news, and ordered. Can finally dig out my Blue Fruit D that has been awaiting finishing for years.

    I have a Heljan 3441 33025 Sultan which I wish to install with DCC sound. This is the more recent upgraded body shell version. Previously I used a replacement battery box / fuel tank speaker enclosure from DC kits to house a speaker, but these appear to no longer be available, so my question is, what speaker have people used inside their 33's as space is very limited. I intend to fit a legoman sound decoder. Cheers, Steve.

    Well I took the plunge and ordered Anthony Manor which arrived today. Whilst admiring it earlier I realised the water filler cap on the tender is hinged and opens! Now that is attention to detail. Just superb.

    I have just purchased a Bachmann class 40, so it will be a whistler

    Trying the Wanted section rather than Ebay topics might elicit a response.

    I received W1013 today. Absolutely stunning model, and absolutely no issues with the shade of BR Blue. Look forward to the 2 others I have on order.

    i have the slinden book, and it only says "Incandescent gas lighting , with roof pipes, was fitted from new to those om Lots 1133 and 1162 and to the remainder in 8/09. The only picture i can find showing the roof is on page 34 of Wild Swan Publications book of the Calne Branch by Colin G Maggs . it shows only 2 lamps. Nice kit, must finish mine one day, been part built for at least 10 years, just needs the roof painting ,fitting, and lettering applying!

    Have you contacted Bachmann themselves to see if they have spares?

    Have you asked them to provide pictures of their weathering? They are very helpful.

    Not much mention of Salopian models on here. They have been operating out of the Market hall in Shrewsbury. but has outgrown his stall and is moving into his own shop, 28a Castle street, opening 10th Jan. No connection with the retailer, but nice to see a shop back in town, and I wish the venture all the best,

    Well i hope Bachmann take heed of the Blue & Green SFX versions popularity and put them into production again. I dithered about pre ordering, and missed out.

    Probably not the right thread, but more likely the right target audience. . I 'm slowly working my way through building my first Intentio 7mm kit, the modern bothy. My thoughts have turned to how to finish the flat roof, and how others have done theirs. I have come up with using wet and dry paper covering, coating with suede coat, or even using aircraft modellers tissue and dope. What have others successfully used?

    Think I might get some unofficial nameplates made up for my 122. Torn between,"Suez" and "Ever Given"

    Oxford 1/43 lightweight this time,repainted and loaded on a Skytrex Lowmac. Copied from a photo.

    Note the "Rare" in the title and description. I should think it is rare, as it's not available yet!
  23. steveb860
    Noticed that when i put photo up. Close ups are cruel. corrected it straight away.

    received my conflat today, without container. First impression, very nice, although that wooden deck is crying out for toning down with weathering. Not sure what is going on with wagon number though. Something lost in translation between Dapol and the Chinese perhaps?

    Do you mean subscription started from issue 264. I ordered 263 as a back issue from there.
