Just get some random brickpaper. The bond fanatics are even more picky than rivet-counters.

But nobody is telling me that it's wrong, and now I know what's right, I won't be happy if the finished model is obviously (to me) wrong!

I'm in for one, I've resisted getting it a "friend"...

I was resisting until I saw the video posted today, good marketing Hatton's! Still, I think industrials look right as a pair :-)

Did you use a Barclaycard for doing so?

For all you insomniacs just 10 more sleeps until Xmas

I initially read that as a 'sleeperless evening', so I assumed you hadn't been doing track work.

Yes and I think someone does 1/8th to 2mm stepped axles, I'll look it up after lunch out.

That's very helpful, thanks to both of you!

Glad to help

Are they somewhere near Brighton?

5&9 Models? They do LBSCR models, but actually based in Shropshire!

NER Darlington Green?

It's the lining I'm having trouble with - all the photos of Es (J71s) are lined differently and in obviously different colours from the pictures of E1s (J72s) which have what I would call standard NER lining. But all the photos are in black and white!

Mine was in Warrington sorting office yesterday so hopefully arriving today, looking forward to it.

I am very happy for all of you expecting these lovely models.

I totally agree, quality is excellent and the service outstanding.

Just about all of Talyllyn's station signage has been done by them.

There is a lot of work to do to the Bachmann E4 to back date into IEG condition!!

Even from the LBSC umber version? Darn, I was hoping I could get away with just removing some lamp irons...

You're looking at changing the smokebox to a built-up one, plus a tapered chimney and new safety valves (I think), at least. The bunker probably needs the coal rails taken off as well.

Yup, a Piko Saxonia. What a beautiful model!

I remember when we still had the DDR. I was surprised to find that it produced cheap model locos compared to other HO manufacturers of the day. A Br.03 "Reko" was only about £35 to £40 back in 1988...

You are right they are very very nice!! I am getting the H Class from my local model shop for that price! But even with the discounts he would be able to give me I can't justify it Perhaps I will get some second hand in the future. Until then, I have managed SECR loco lining before so the coaches should be easy!!

I'm envious of your abilities at lining then! Even with the S E Finecast SECR transfers I'm not particularly happy with mine... They seem rather over-scale.

Thanks, but before you get to envious why don't you judge for yourself. After all just because I'm happy with it doesn't mean someone else would be. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/107470-oak-hill-lbscr-secr-1905ish/page-38#entry2767340

They are very nice kits.

Maybe try and find a southern modeller with the LSWR half to trade with?

PM me the sheet number, I might have some spare ...

I can't see LBSC loco insignia though, just freight stock, others may know though. Glad to help!

I am similarly fustrated. Did chat to HMRS about LBSC and they do have something in the pipeline - so worth feedback to them what you are after ... but probably a year away. However do look at EBM models at http://www.mjwsjw.co.uk/

I make my own! (LBSCR & SECR)Commission orders are available

Halifax.

Apparently I have one sat in the sorting office!

Mines flying over from Cornwall

if it works in 2mm 4mm plus is a doddle

Interesting, thanks!
