DCC Supplies have a special commision Dapol Class 08* on offer at the moment; there are also bundles available with a Plank Wagon that are not bad value. (* The loco may actually be numbered as a crossley engined machine so a D3/3 rather than a true 08) https://www.dccsupplies.com/cat-999999/special-commissions.htm -
Bargain Hunters Mark 2
Lord Summerisle replied to newbryford's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Perhaps slightly nebulous, but poundland have 'christmas squidgers' in stock at the moment - they're stretchy plastic things with a plastic ball inside that contains three watch type batteries, a spring operated motion switch and red and blue leds that flash in a pattern very similar to emergency services lights. I'm sure they could be of use to those who are suitably creative with electrics. They also have snow spray in stock as well - which could be of use for modelling a winter scene. Both the above £1 -

Been posted before, but worth pointing out again, especially in light of the price of new release limited editions and main range items that these represent pretty good value at the moment, sale lasts until 15th of February I think. Bachmann Provincial 47475 at £95 and RfD split headcode 37068 at £105, both post free. http://www.modelrailoffers.co.uk/c/1078/Diesel-Locomotives -
Ford Transit Van - Mk2 - OO Scale
Lord Summerisle replied to wirey33's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Mick, I think your model is the mk3 transit, rather than the mk2 version. It looks like oxford do a 4mm model ofthe mk3 these days. https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/shop/oxford-diecast-76ft3002-ford-transit-mk3-royal-mail-oo-176-4mm/?v=79cba1185463 -

No models as such, but London Transport Museum have a flash sale on; https://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/sale/all-sale-items If you are looking for something for the younger members of the family the LU Brio style models are 20% off. I also stumbled across this when looking at a certain deals site; https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/thomas-friends-trackmaster-thomas-sky-high-bridge-playset-4161-delivered-toys-r-us-2764685 No doubt the Rev W Audrey would be turning in his grave, but If you cliick through and watch the video it looks quite entertaining! Could be good for pointing the grandkids in the right direction towards railway modelling...! -
Now these are finally starting to arrive, does anyone know if any retailer has taken on the Loadhaul liveried route learning 122 that Kernow were due to release?

Revolution Class 320 & 321 EMUs in N
Lord Summerisle replied to Revolution Ben's topic in Revolution Trains
There may be some detail differences, but don't forget the class 322 Stansted Express units as a possible option too. For what it's worth the NSE 321 would certainly interest me. -
Perhaps the chassis is the suggested basis for motorising a particular kit?

Looks like a disused trackbed but can't find any info?
Lord Summerisle replied to reduke's topic in Disused Railways
This might be of further interest; There is a photo which matches where your alignment crosses Corringham road.it mentions 42 and 48 inch watermains, as well as a watercourse called the Decoy Brook. http://middlesexcountycouncil.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=36&Itemid=27 -
Looks like a disused trackbed but can't find any info?
Lord Summerisle replied to reduke's topic in Disused Railways
Could simply be an old boundary line between different landowners. I'd be intrigued to know the answer. Just did a quick search, and found a reference to; The water main from Kempton Park was shown on the pre-development OS maps as a line of posts. This is now a green corridor behind the houses on this website; http://edithsstreets.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/decoy-brook-golders-green.html -
90016-90020 did receive RES colours (with blue flashes) and Hornby did release a trainset with a model of 90020 in Parcels livery, but I'm as close to 100% certain as I can be that none ever received Parcels livery in real life. Sadly, because looking at the Hornby model it would have looked rather smart.

I'd expect a slightly clearer description in the title/main photo from such a respected seller. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heljan-OO-4611-CLASS-47-826-SPRINGBURN-INTERCITY-DIESEL-LOCOMOTIVE-/131212504398?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1e8cdfed4e

Tempted to sell some of mine if they're going to go for that much!

A Guide to using the Silhouette Cameo Cutter
Lord Summerisle replied to JCL's topic in Scenery, Structures & Transport
The silver bullet cutter looks like a fantastic bit of kit. Looking through the prices on the UK sellers website though I notice they charge extra for shipping insurance and state; Optional Insurance for Cutters We strongly advise that cutters are insured when shipped. If you choose not to insure then if the cutter is damaged on receipt we will not be able to make a claim ourselves and thus will not be able to replace it. Insurance prices are as follows - http://www.thymegraphics.co.uk/products.asp?cat=102 Is that even legal? It's little things like that which would put me off purchasing one. -
Old Tram Depots still in existence
Lord Summerisle replied to melmerby's topic in Trams & Tramway Modelling
There is the 'tram and social' in tooting, which claims it was once a Tramshed, it's certainly believable. This school in Richmond was once a tram depot, before becoming a fire station, then an arts/community centre; https://www.google.co.uk/maps?q=Richmond&ll=51.465678,-0.298862&spn=0.00913,0.024397&t=m&hnear=Richmond,+Greater+London,+United+Kingdom&z=16&layer=c&cbll=51.465622,-0.298941&panoid=3EtqSrYy5fT1ZDU91a57LA&cbp=12,312.14,,0,-3.26 -
Abandoned Wagons, coaches and rolling stock
Lord Summerisle replied to 18B's topic in UK Prototype Questions
The wagons at Diss have now gone, there was a mineral wagon at Whittlesford for a while. There was also a 4 wheel van at Norwich station for a long time, as well as a departmental 'staff training coach' that was in intercity livery, and I believe was used as a testbed for Anglia livery. I would have thought the wagon at Snape Maltings might hold some sort of record, I believe it was refurbished for the opening of the concert hall by the Queen in 1967! -
DCC flushing toilets?

Knew I should have got more of these at £49.99 delivered when Modelzone were offering them at that last year. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-31-651-Class-47-Titan-47612-Intercity-Livery-Brand-New-/291038239571?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43c33b1b53&nma=true&si=1IUo3C7hEjDrebgsapUxe6nBwr0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

How to wreck a seaplane
Lord Summerisle commented on SouthernRegionSteam's blog entry in Calshot 4mm - SRS's Blog
Have you seen this before? There's a really interesting backstory and plenty of inspiration there; http://www.artificialowl.net/2009/07/abandoned-catalina-seaplane-50-years.html I've got an airfix Catalina up in the loft that I built many years ago that's now in a bit of a sorry state, one day I might have a go at something like this. Thanks for sharing it with us. -
Miniature Diorama for a Bachmann Presflo, now with a coal hopper instead...
Lord Summerisle commented on Lord Summerisle's blog entry in Lord Summerisle's Blog
Thanks for the positive comments guys, I'm hoping to have a simple layout of sorts up and running soon, so 'watch this space' as they say.
