    You'd think the workmen could have filled in that pot hole while they were resurfacing.

    Sierd has been around longer than we think. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-38856438

    Perhaps Killybegs can confirm? Will jute twine work or is that too fine? http://www.wilko.com/search?q=jute

    Jeff, that's outstanding work. Some of the best model scenery I've seen. If you are unhappy with anything is it that you are looking too closely, i.e. as closely as you would when applying the materials rather than viewing everything as a whole from normal operating distance? (Not that I can see any flaws, even in the close-up shots!)

    Turkey, surely?

    The narrower one looks a little better but there's not that much in it. What if you introduced some vertical pillars or other 3D element to the support walls? That would narrow the gap without necessarily reducing the girder span. Perhaps the wider span is needed to accommodate some additional infrastructure (railway or non-railway) like piping and/or a water main, or a footpath (with a fence?) ?

    Indeed. Or, by 1905, 'Buffalo Bill' Cody's Wild West Show? A set each of Airfix Cowboys and Indians and you're sorted for figures.

    When I think of the Edwardian railways I think of a time when manpower was more plentiful and thus less expensive. This allowed more time to be devoted to keeping everything clean and polished. So locomotive and rolling stock liveries were more ornate and included more shiny bits. With this in mind it seems a pity not to fabricate an excuse for the local yeomanry to turn out in full ceremonial kit and some kind of royal connection sounds like an ideal excuse.

    Food for thought there Edwardian and Nearholmer. Thank you. I shall continue with my occasional pondering of this topic. (Inevitably, I have some thoughts and opinions but it is likely that they all stray outside of the RMweb rules (of which I am supportive), so it's probably best I leave the topic alone.)

    I hope you don't mind me asking, and thereby risking wandering off topic, but is it possible for a republican to serve in the armed forces, i.e. can one volunteer (or indeed be conscripted) to fight for one's country and wish to see the back of the monarchy? I am seeing parallels here with courts and so on and religion where there is a process in place for people to swear without the bible being involved.

    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Either a very naughty boy or a previous prophet now supplanted by Dave.

    Yes but they don't seem to come in rabbit-only packs. http://www.langleymodels.co.uk/shop/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2elangleymodels%2eco%2euk%2f&WD=rabbits&PN=Online_Catalogue_OO_Scale_Accessories_F77_to_F171f_14%2ehtml%23aF145#aF145 Although there are some TT scale ones: http://www.langleymodels.co.uk/shop/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2elangleymodels%2eco%2euk%2f&WD=rabbits&PN=Online_Catalogue_TT_scale__3mm__Kits_NEW_Kits_57%2ehtml%23aTT13#aTT13

    Oxford N7

    teaky replied to 45568's topic in Oxford Rail

    The following three out of the original GER N7s received round-top firboxes after nationalisation (confirming Downer's post): 69602 (June 1949), 69609 (August 1948) and 69618 (July 1948). This was so soon after nationalisation that, as you say, they probably didn't get BR livery before being rebuilt.

    Oxford N7

    teaky replied to 45568's topic in Oxford Rail

    69689 and 69695 withdrawn in 1957 and 1958 respectively were the only ones still with Belpaire fireboxes at withdrawal, but there were plenty of others that only received the round top firebox after nationalisationand quite a few not until the '50s.

    Morning Tony. MRJ 252 has just dropped through the door and features a very attractive ECML layout.

    Whatever you do Stubby, don't take advice on this subject from Dave. His avatar should be sufficient warning!

    Two tone red and white with anchovy interior and black olive trim?

    In the July 1978 Railway Modeller there was an article on converting the Ratio Midland suburban coaches into a representation of some GCR stock.

    Good to see you back Allan. 7mm SR?
  23. teaky
    A fine piece of work. It captures the original perfectly with the right over all look, restrained colouring and some excellent detailing. I bet you're pleased with that. More please.

    That last picture is still recognisable today. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3482191,-2.0949187,3a,30y,102.43h,88.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sscorwOgjUUHmLtYT2NuxAA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

    Hornby LNER Teak Coaches

    teaky replied to DWS's topic in Hornby

    I thought K stood for "Korridor" too (with the exception of RK and RKB where it meant "kitchen") and K was used because C denoted "Composite". So that matches what 31A says above. I am not aware there is anything to specifically indicate gangwayed coaches though. There were, for example, RC, CK, CO and SLC all with gangways.
