  1. Yeah I’m local so I think it’s the same fare from my station to anywhere in Central Glasgow . £4.70 normally but £2.70 to me as I’m now an old geezer . I got caught out by the Hydro parking before . Is it £2 for the first hour and £11 thereafter . Of course who goes to a show that’s less than one hour ………rip off
  2. That’s why I take the train . Exhibition centre seems to cost the same as if I’m going to Glasgow Central
  3. Often the case , I quite fancy a loco long after it’s been out of production ! I’d hope the 28 makes an appearance . With the demise of Hattons presumably someone has bought the tooling or it has reverted to Heljan . Maybe an EFE release like the Hymek , although I’ve never really understood why Heljan just didn’t launch the Hymek itself , do Bachmann have such a bigger reach than Heljan ?
  4. At one time weren’t there a lot of GWR branch terminals on the go at the same time ? Ashburton springs to mind . I think as long as you enjoy it build whatever you want . I’ve certainly taken inspiration from other layouts in the past .
  5. isn’t the announcement likely to be the 0-6-0T that they really should have released at the beginning . I can’t remember what it is now . The obvious one to release would be a Jinty but is it a Pannier or J94? Given that this is supposed to be opening new markets I would have thought a train set featuring the 66 and some container wagons would be ideal . You could do it in Red DB , Blue GBRf or Green Freightliner ( I suppose orange now!) liveries . It’s what people see on the real railway
  6. Glasgow Central- Bishopton about 14.5 miles £4.70 return
  7. Ravenser you’re wrong here . Dapol are heavily invested in OO you only need to look at GWR Mogul . Prairie and I think there’s a forthcoming 28xx for that. . Their class 68 I still rank as one of the best diesel models produced and price wise these tend to be more reasonable than most suppliers . There’s also the 52 Western . For coaches there are the top lights but these are fairly high spec for £55. Wagons is where they really do score though , with lots of ex Hornby Dublo wagons at very reasonable prices possibly even lower than Railroad . So while Dapol do have a wide ranging remit covering O , OO and N to say they are not very interested in OO is clearly wrong .
  8. Yes the few times I was on one they did seem lively performers . It was a shame we couldn’t have kept a few as I understand they are currently out of use
  9. You could even run them in Scotland as they did Edinburgh - Glasgow before the 385s arrived . Still looking forward to the 320 though
  10. You probably need a steam generator belching out smoke from the tunnel mouths ,not forgetting smoke rising up from the low level pre 1961 . It is looking good . I don’t remember the signal box it must be before my time . I think Queen St had been remodelled by the time I took an interest . It was certainly dieselised
  11. ahh cheers Phil you are exactly right . Didn’t realise the wand was supposed to have a handle . Looks ok as is, but checking the other ones you are correct . Not an issue .
  12. Received my first class 2bs tonight , following on from the second class ones last week . They are all superb looking coaches . Very happy . Howevet,, at the bottom of the box of the BFK as well as the usual accessories was this . There is nothing obvious missing from the coach . It’s a bit big for an air reservoir . It was at the bottom of the box not in the plastic casing , so I don’t think it’s fallen off the coach . Any idea?
  13. Yeah I got excited too ………but it was playtrains !
  14. A bit concerned as he had medical issues , before disappearing . He has taken his channel off air a few times , so hopefully if all ok , he will be back
  15. I would have said that was unnecessary duplication until I received the 2bs . Absolutely agree . A 2d to this standard and not Bachmann prices would be superb . This elevates coaching stock to a new level . Mind you think of what they could do with Staniers or Gresley stock !
