  1. This is how it was when I was a kid. A 2-NOL in those days (1950's). The Driver having to change ends via the 6ft.
  2. This occurred Tuesday. 01/02/22. My thoughts and condolences go out to all involved, especially family and colleagues. https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/train-driver-confirmed-dead-after-incident-at-west-worthing-station-3552565?itm_source=parsely-api
  3. Bachmann appear to be persisting with the battle-ship sized "Rivets" around the main-lights' sliding vents, both 10 1/4" and 15" types. Prototypically these are, in fact, 1/4"Dia. dome / round headed screws, barely discernible in model form. Regards, Rivet Counters Anonymous Inc.
  4. Not only did the cable recesses feature a subtle curved outer edge, the front cab widows did also, tapering in from bottom (1'-6"/457mm. wide) to top (1'-5"/432mm. wide). In plan view (Looking down) the cab ends were one continuous curve from rounded corner to rounded corner, not made up of three flat panels. Regards.
  5. Hi , This pic may help. I note that your illustrations, so far, show rather small radii applied to the corners of the door droplights and to the compartment quarterlights. These were quite generous prototypically, and different. The photo also shows the cornice convergence between bodyside and roof, Regards
  6. Also a slightly smaller one within the Branksome triangle. Mostly domestic coal distribution.

  8. I would like to suggest this thread be merged with this list. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/123769-zinc-pest-mazak-rot-the-affected-models-list/&tab=comments#comment-2757031
  9. Already considered, eleven years ago. Now, which name would you prefer ?, as pictured ? or something more classy ?, say 'Porcia' ?

  11. Hello 34017, You may remember the sorely missed, master modeller Colin Parks (RIP) producing a series of topics, during which he described his standard setting, exquisite. scratch-built 4mm./1ft. S.Region Emus. In doing so he amassed a wealth of information. A considerable amount being contributed by members of RMweb. For anyone with an interest in modelling SR / BR(S) 3rd. rail, Colin's models must be recognised as the best*. Links to the two unit types of interest here, are :- Tin HAL. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/62883-tin-hal/ 4-SUB. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/75582-4-sub-unit-4377-bulleid-2-hap-upgrade-plus-all-matters-third-rail/ *Now, if anyone is up to producing kits (or RtR he says, hopefully) to this high standard, I, for one would, certainly, be interested. All the best. Frank.

    My guess ? Hmmm.. Let's see.. A 2-NOL Emu, based on their re-built L&SWR stock.
