  1. Hi all, Can someone direct me to a good thread on here regarding wooden sleepers please, I have looked but can not find much, I am painting my track sleepers , before i ballast it, but i can not get the wood colour quite right , so looking to see what others have used. Thanks Garry
  2. Regarding the boxes on the bottom of the firebox, I am pretty sure they are just metal covers that cover the boiler expansion brackets.
  3. The oily wheels look just right on this. Lovely
  4. Thankyou both, That has answered my question ,just the job.
  5. Hi all, I have a question about point, turnout motors . My latest E M gauge layout will be set in the late 1950s it will be southern region. I know nothing of the southern , i have always modelled the GWR in the past, so i am learning whilst i go along. I want to put as much detail as possible on the trackwork , so do points in this period have point motors visible, or just rods and locking mechanism's, I can not find much on the subject, I see that oo gauge suppliers do different types of point motors but have no idea what type to use if any. Thanks Garry
  6. I have edited my question as no it did not cover well at all. Not what Humbrol paint used to do.
  7. Hi all, I have used a new tin of Humbol paint today on a plastic model kit, The paint was rubbish, a lot more watery than the older paint and did not cover well, so i this normal now for Humbrol paints and if so can anyone recommend another brand . As i am not Happy, i have nearly scrapped my model signal box just because of the paint finish. Thanks Garry
  8. Thanks Rob, ill give them a try, They are for a class 44.
  9. Hi all, I am in need of some loco body screw, I have a Bachmann diesel loco that is missing its body screws, They look like they should be quite long. but i can not find any anywhere, I have tried peters spares and e bay but to no avail. Does anywhere know where i can try and get some. Thanks Garry
  10. Hi all, I have asked a question before , ref changing E M gauge turnouts, and the majority of answers were servo control. So my next question please, Where is the best place to buy all the components that i need for servo point operation, As i have no idea what i am doing in this , so it would be better to get all the parts from one suppler. Any help on this most welcome. Thanks Garry
  11. Thought i would post this for interest, it was on a facebook page, Credited to J spencer-gilkes. The coach has the crest on the side. and as someone above said, The southern never had them, not sure if it is a mk 1 though, but someone on here will know.
  12. Hi All, Can anyone tell me did rail over road bridges in the 1950s have warning height signs on them, as todays do, I have been online but can only find a picture of a 1950s road sign approaching a bridge, any info welcome. Thanks Garry
  13. Hi All, Can anyone tell me a Humbrol or Tamilya paint that is a close match for malachite green and B R cream, I have looked online and it did give me the info, but when i went to my local model shop they told me that these are no longer made. I know i can get phoenix paints, But i can only get Humbrol or Tamilya in my local model shop. The paint is for a B R southern region signal box. Thanks Garry
