  1. Eveleigh Creations has some Wisbech coaches, may be of interest: http://eveleighcreations.com/great-eastern-rly-tram-coaches/ With best wishes, Carlos
  2. Hi David, I'd have a little Sharpie, and probably a T26 (still thinking). In the meantime, I did some homework and found that Alan Gibson has some appropriate wheels for the Little Sharpie, I think: driving wheels (5'7" original, 5'8" 1889-1893) 18 spokes (?) -> 4868 front and tender (3'8") 10 spokes (?) -> 4844
  3. Sure it has to be like that, we Spaniards are quite prone to do the reverse of what we are told. If no one is telling you to put your tents orderly, of course you do. I do not know why two lines and not one or three... Carlos
  4. You can also download it from here http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/download/e4983c4a00a7f9ae86247b0ed0462656.cms/Catalogue-2018.pdf
  5. Actually I meant I agree with you being proud... I'm not very good using "emojis" and all that stuff but I think you are right to be proud! Carlos
  6. I'm looking forward to get mine! Do someone know if diagram 401 (4 wheels third class 5 compartments) is to this drawing from HMRS? https://hmrs.org.uk/drawings/third-class-5-compartments-15ft-3ins-w-b-26ft-ins-o-b.html I'm specially thinking on the interior detail, and this drawing could help. Apparently they only sell a physical copy in different paper sizes, which is a bit sad. As per the W-irons, could any of Masokits offers do? Carlos
  7. Thanks Edwardian and Bucoops, that is most useful. And I also appreciate the pictures, hoarding info until the day I'll assemble them!
  8. Good! I've already preordered one third (diagram 401)! Buffers and lamps from Guy Rixon can be used, but what about axleboxes and springs for the 4-wheelers, what are the possibilities? Carlos
  9. Oh, I just got one shot... that detailed data on train compositions are from the book of Peter Paye "the Ely & St Ives train" (only in the second edition, which more than doubles the content of the first one). I wish to have such data for other lines, as the Cambridge to St Ives branch... That coaches from Peter K's range were available on 2015 (I went for the vans...), I'd check again soon... and yes, the dinning car set I think it is that one! Carlos
  10. I'm slowly modelling GER around Cambridge, and so these coach kits are of interest to me. The dates are more in the 1905-1910 range, so I probably should be more interested on the 6-wheeled carriages. Not sure if you are aware of Peter K's range (now Kemilway https://www.kemilway.com/) has a few coaches in his range (and a few wagons and vans). Here are my notes PK41/88: Diagram 216, Built 1875. PK39/88: Diagram 501, Built 1872-1874. PK40/88: Diagram 502, Built 1872-1874(probably) I was thinking to create the following composition, that ran from the 1880's to shortly after the change of century on the Ely & St Ives railway (operated by GER) Diagram 216 + Diagram 401 (1 or 2) + Diagram 502 As you see, I could use Diagram 216 and 502 from Peter K's and Diagram 401 from Eveleigh As a caution note, Eveleigh is proposing Diagram 501, that is being already offered by Peter K's So I may contact Eveleigh for 1 or 2 401's And for the 6 wheelers, I'd really like to build a train for the Cambridge to St Ives branch (the loop), but not sure which ones where used (any idea welcome). The Ely & St Ives railway used the following train early in the 1900's Diagram 200+ Diagram 403(1 or 2)+ Diagram 511 or Diagram 514 or Diagram 505 so Diagram 514 from Eveleigh would be handy. Thanks for your work to increase the market offer in GER rolling stock Carlos
  11. Some has ropes tying them, so they may be full? One hasn't, it looks a posed one to show the name.
