    Pete, I think I still have that drawing. I will find it out and send it unless someone else also obliges. Regards Pete

    The coking plant near Rotherham may well have been "Manvers" which is just North of Swinton on the Midland main line from Cudworth. Long gone of course , now a nature reserve i believe.

    Nick, I have been in contact with Iain with regards to the same subject and even asked him the same question. He obligingly replied with the answer page 2911 Regards Pete

    Without wanting to dwell on the subject , here are 2 photos of my old trainspotting days in the early to middle 60s and recently. For information it is Clay Cross South Jct. Lines to the left go down the Erewash Valley ( Toton, Nottingham and Trent ) lines to the right go to Derby. They are not my photos and therefore I do not know who has the copyrights, if necessary please delete

    Tony, If I remember correctly Mousa Models do a number of 04 variants. Pete

    Superb modelling Iain but the comment with regards to 30 degrees was below the belt at this present time in the uk. Regards Pete

    Horns Bridge, which is approx 1/4 -1/2 mile south of Chesterfield Station.

    Just a general question with regards to 3d printing. No doubt it depends on the plastic used in the process, but how resilient/brittle is the plastic in the finished model ? I'm sure Tony built a 3D loco some time back and parts broke off before he had basically started ? Pete

    Clay Cross never had flashing yellows although I agree it was a perfect example of a situation that should have. If you remember they relocated the signal to the north side of the station bridge thereby giving the Dvr an earlier view of the aspect displayed.

    Tony, The short circuit has been sorted. one of the brake shoes was too close to the wheel tread. No doubt due to a Royal Mail rough shunt as a rear guard iron had come adrift too and was laying loose in the box. No problem, just a quick in and out with the soldering iron. Still well pleased with my purchase. Regards Pete

    Tony, Think the 2-4-2t could be a Sutherland/Cotswold kit. Pete

    Chas, I stand corrected (I knew I would) however your photo is of a round bunkered/tank C12 as opposed to your model which is squarebunker/ tank. That's my excuse.
  19. cb900f
    Chas , The buffers on the c12 look parallel to me . I'm no expert on eastern motive power but I think they were fitted with tapered buffers when built. Greater experts than I will confirm or deny. Pete

    On my Black 5s I have them underneath but if you want confirmation google LMS Duchess tenders (images) there are some pics on there that clearly show the support plates underneath. Pete

    A number of other pets ? Do you infer children ? Pete

    Nothing to add, just to repeat the member's thoughts and comments above . Like many others I only knew Gordon through RmWeb. During one of his change of plans I purchased a large number of handmade points that were redundant. They arrived in 2 large plywood boxes perfectly built , so good in fact, that a couple of hinges and a handle fitted and they would be ideal for carrying O gauge locos. A number of Gordon's points are now in place on my baseboards. RIP Gordon Pete

    A goodly number of loco kits on the Rails e bay site at the moment. All are "buy it now". They include Finney, DJH, Gibson. Pete

    Nice models Iain another dozen should see you right. Pete

    The small round plates are also missing both sides from the motion bracket. On the model it hides the spindle that secures the expansion link. To be fair these could have gone walkies before Tony purchased the loco. The tender is a Mainline/Bachmann donor. Pete
