I had a similar response like Tortuga in stock but then 3 weeks later well have to order from Japan

I think theres one out there showing his progress on a layout he's building, still an oval of track and 1 siding. For me this is something I'm looking forward to I'll still model OO and N Scale (US & Swiss) and now have a go at BR[E]

John thank you very much for the swift respot SW

Hi all, hope this is in the right place. I am trying to find out which particular issue Hornby magazine that an article I believe based on Bradford was published it. Its a bit of a long shot but I was unable to bring my collection of magazines and books back to the UK with me. SW

Yes Ive fond memories when I was stationed at High Wycombe, I'd often drive down the A40 to pick something up rather than mail order. Very helpful on a few occasions I wanted a dummy or a powered Athearn loco and if they didnt have it they'd just swap another chassis for me.

Hi can anyone help me with the name of I believe an O gauge layout that was the same scene that rotated through 4 seasons and time periods? Andy

Calne is somewhere Ive always I have fancied modelling, after I was given the excellent book by G Tanner

It was right next to the line and I believe the buildings are still there but no longer a school.

My school playground looked up to Ferrybridge Station

Also check out the Middleton press book Branch Lines Of West London by Mitchell and Smith Andy

Bill Bryson’s book “Made in America” is a great read on how the English language evolved in the USA. as for Arizona I preferred the climat there to where I lived in Florida any day. Andy

I'm loving it I spent 12 years in FL initially for a year in DeFuniak Springs then been a photographer I was working the beach so we moved to Santa Rosa/ Miramar Beach. The rail scene has changed quite a lot but the modelling scene is amazing. I came over back in February with a view to buying a house but got stuck here. The weather is very different but im enjoying it, I remember Christmas in FL I think it was 2015 we sat outside in shorts and T Shirts it was so hot and I dont miss that at all. Having to work for a living lol has come as a shock I had got so used to living on the beach and had become 1 step up from a beach bum. Andy

I’ve heard about the guy in Baker I think I was over Baghdad way with a friend and ff I remember correctly we’d were talking to an old boy at a museum/model railroad layout in Milton.

I was allowed the use of my fathers 2 trainsets at holiday times only.They were both Triang Rovex sets one was a Black Princess Victoria set with some MK1 coaches and the other was a green EE Type 3 with pullman coaches set. Sadly both were stolen years ago. Been searching the internet to replace them since moving back to the UK recently.. Andy

Martino Just moved back from the USA this year from Santa Rosa Beach after many many years in NW Florida. Were looking at Ideas for both an indoor and garden railway.

Thanks guys

Try the books by RA Cooke GWR track diagrams they’re detailed and show revision dates etc

Hi can anyone recommend anywhere that I can get a loco repaired. Sadly I sent away a new Hornby GW 288 to be chipped and weathered to a place in the USA and it came back to me because the guy couldn’t do it. when I got it back it more resembled another Hornby product an Airfix kit. Andy

and thanks for the link to the SRS as soon as they re open Ill be getting the Pryer books

do they still use that tag line in their commercials? they used that when I lived in the UK

Ordered the publications you all mentioned except the book by prior as I cant seem to find a copy online so if you knowof any oood bookshops that may have it please let me know.

thank you very much for those replies and advise. Andy

thank you

Thanks guys Ill order Vol2, the east end towards taunton is not important as the routeIm working on is from Norton Fitzwarren to Barnstaple Victoria. Andy

Hi all, I am trying to locate a track diagram of Norton Fitzwarren during GWR days for a TS2020 project I'm working on. I have a copy of the great book Historical survey of selected GWR track diagrams by RH Clark (Vol 1), sadly this doesn't contain a diagram however there are 3 more books in the series and I was hoping someone could tell me if any of the other books had a diagram in. I cant afford to randomly buy the books and have shipped to the USA on the off chance it will contain the diagram many thanks Andy
