    Well done to the winner. A fantastic layout. My own Circle street will continue and is currently awaiting a Baby Deltic! Paul

    Whilst it seems to run ok, they could have got a bit closer with the camera!! Paul

    Great pictures! I have had haulage behind 25109 from Hull in the mid 80's! Paul

    A modern style large supermarket or DIY store - maybe in low relief would be nice. Paul

    Thats it Dave! Get it in 'How realistic are your models' thread! And the winner is....!!!!! Paul

    Agreed! Just crop out that brute on the left and thats it! Amazing. Paul

    Looks promising, and a nice model to build a small layout around! Paul

    A blue one and a green one for me. Amazing! Heljan will be VERY busy over the next year or so. In production is Lion, Class 23, Various rail buses, class 76, Blue Pullman and now the class 28. Ambitious to say the least! Paul

    If it is the chassis problem you are not the first to have it on a class 50. I reported on the previous version of RM web that one of my 50's had a cracked body along with a 60. I informed Hornby who replied & asked for details around a year ago. I have emailed them again but await a reply. The marker lights look good bt the way! Paul

    Iam 99% certain that the model is 1/50th scale. Paul

    what a super layout MM. Love the shed with the sheet iron. By the way it's not just another TMD layout. It's a layout in in it's own right. There are just as many branch line terminus layouts! I love TMD layouts ( mine is Four Feet lane) especially everyones different interpretations of them. Keep us posted with pics. Paul

    I have just had a look at mine. I apologise - as a closer inspection revealed that with the angle of the bogie one sandbox is away from the body whilst the other is under the buffer beam. This has caused the rear wheel on the bogie to lift just slightly off the railhead. This give the impression to me that all was ok - since i had no derailments. Once again apologies for getting anyone excited! Looks like i will be taking a file to it. Paul

    Yes. I attached them without removing the body. Since the loco will be used on my circle street layout (Second radius) and the bogies are at a constant angle i have not had any problems. The only thing i cannot attach are the ladders next to the bogies as due to the track radius they get knocked off. Paul

    Thanks for that Stewart. I will have to look out for the Bachmann Suburban MK1's - amongst others. Paul

    Which RTR coaching stock would be suitable for the class 23's? Also were they known to haul freight too? Paul

    Just got my SYP class 15. It runs great, however it would be nice to have a diagram to explain were all the extra bits go. Whilst i can find out by looking at images in books & the net, is it really that difficult to produce this extra piece of paper? Paul

    Not re soldering anything here! i know i should not say it as it's tempting fate but my Clayton is one of the original releases and after lots of running has not gone up in smoke yet! (Don't you just know it will shortly?!!!!) Out of interest how may other people are running first release Claytons that have the original chassis with no ill effects? Paul

    Once fitted you may well be wise turning off the headcode light if running on DCC. - You'll see why! Mine is running on my DC layout circle st and looks terrible. I may well have to remove the bulb. Paul

    Not sure of the actual working i think its scottish, but i have seen pictures of the green BP TEA tanks with TTA's at the front/rear. Paul

    Found this picture of the Class 14's at Dairycoates. http://www.flickr.com/photos/johngreyturner/3937507755/in/pool-hullhistory Paul

    With this one, If anyone does a sound chip at least we will know what it sounds like due to the sole surviving engine at Barrow Hill!! Paul

    The ridges onthe light clusters are an anti climb device to prevent the wagons riding up and onto the loco in the event of a collision. However for them to work surely the wagons too must be fitted with anti climb devices? Must admit i am not keen ont look - they look like characters from 'underground ernie' - but it will grow on me.
