Hi Keith, many thanks for your interest. Yes, Tuesday and Thursday evenings 19.00 - 21.30 and Wednesday afternoons 14,00 - 16,30 are the Club times, but I would point out that Thursday 25th April is our AGM so best avoided. kind regards Mike Cole

I noticed on the EWS version there is now what could be construed as a droplight in the centre window at the end, I wonder if they appear in other versions as well? End views have not been posted for all versions. will the ventilators be included in the 'Add-ons' pack? One that I built some time ago from a Sidelines kit. regards Mike

Hi all, our next Open Day is being held on Sunday 7th April at the Clubroom, Corporation Road, Birkenhead, CH41 1HB from 11.00 - 16.00 Free parking and light refreshments available. Bring your 2 rail DC & DCC locos and give them a run. regards Mike

I also asked the same question and received the same answer but I was also told that they were going to announce TWO new locomotives this summer! regards Mike

The first decorated examples are on the Rails and Tower websites today. Reading through the 'Specification' on the Rails site, they are being fitted with three link couplings! I will ponder the other details and see if and which way I might jump. regards Mike

I received mine last week but only just got round to playing with it, mainly due to the Club DCC layout being temporarily out of commission due to trackwork alterations. So mostly been on the rolling road and just sorted out the sound conundrum and the 'cyclic toggle' When delivered it comes with ready to run on Peco radius two trackwork so there is a bit of work in putting in the 'scale' options pieces which I have now completed, making a really lovely model. regards Mike

Hi Chris-ECT Is there any chance of a lined, un-numbered livery but with BRITISH RAILWAYS on the tender, or alternatively, with nothing on the tender for application of our own transfers? regards Mike

Herewith details of our next Open Day I hope to see some of you there. regards Mike Open Day poster 10.12.23.pdf

Hi Keith, If you are that close, then why not pay us a mid week visit - Tuesday or Thursday evenings 19.00 to 21.00 or Wednesday afternoon 14.00 to 16.30, we would be only to pleased to see you. Here are some views of our Wirral Parkway layout to tempt you. regards Mike Cole

Our next Open Day is Sunday 29th October 2023 as details below hope to see some of you there. regards Mike

Mine arrived yesterday afternoon - No 91, in LSWR lined green, excellent finish and really looks the part. Took it to the Club last night and it ran sweetly at all speeds and in both directions for over an hour - MS440 decoder and speakers ordered today. Must finish the Vulcan kit now!!! regards Mike

Both Hattons and Rails have posted that the B4 DC version arrived today. Cheers Mike

saw this painted example on the Heljan stand at MIOG yesterday quite looks the business, the main 'error' is having the three end windows identical rather than the droplight in the ends to match the 'window/door/window' configuration that they have produced, bu.t a simple matter of adding the droplight later. The roof is held on by a series of magnets along the length of the body to allow population of the various areas. All in all looking very good. cheers Mike

my two Dapol 08s, both sound fitted and now weathered. the InterCity version with additional roofline white stripe and Swallows, names and numbers by Precision Decals cheers Mike

Hi 70E The latest Lionheart 45xx model only covers locos 4540 - 4574 so check what differences there might be between this group and 4539. regards Mike
