Glorious NSE Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Yes they do. Click under HO. £1.60 a pair is reasonable really. Probably a decade or so I used to figure on it costing £2.50 per car, £1 for metal wheels, £1.50 for couplers, so yeah, £1.60 per car is pretty good (probably some of that value is the bulk packs versus me using small packs back then)... Wheelsets are more expensive, but then most cars now come with metal wheelsets! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Regularity Posted November 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2017 but then most cars now come with metal wheelsets! When modellers bemoan “finescale”, they overlook things like this: finescale modellers did this as a matter of routine, and wrote about how it improved the running. As manufacturers started to realise that model railways is a hobby for serious adults, and no longer about train sets on the carpet, they started to pay more attention to fidelity and quality. This is true across the hobby, in all popular scales, not just American outline H0. (Look at the Lionheart pannier tanks, the latest Grafar offerings, Hornby’s re-tooledFlying Scotsman, etc...) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2017 The bulk packs are the way to go. Luckily although sadly I have many years supply of Kadees after our late friend Graham’s collection of Kadees came our way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Just a few days until Millarville's final scheduled Freemo meet. Some minor repairs to do this week. Mostly replacing the signage on the 7-Eleven that got a bit wet & streaky when it was unloaded in a "blizzard" last Dec. This time next week it'll be on its way to a temporary home in our storage lockup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewC Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Help. I'm suffering withdrawal. The modules and Essex are still sitting in storage while my man cave shed is filled to the gunwales with tiles, flooring, construction materials, tools, and a whole kitchen. I can't even get to my modelling bench to do any work. The builders are also about 2 weeks behind, so I won't have any trains to play with until the middle of June now.

AndrewC Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Andrew calm down, it will be all right, use the time wisely, go to all those pubs you've always wanted to visit!!!!! I wish. My beer tokens have been spent on solid oak flooring. Although 4 weeks today I'll be sitting at Jopen in Amsterdam Haarlem going end to end on their tap list. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Shaking off the cobwebs. After nearly a year in storage the module is set up and running in the shed to prepare for Freemo South V in March. Just doing a few cosmetic repairs and finally moving the stationary decoders into a stand alone Loconet. That makes things easier when setting up as I don't need to hive them off from the main network bus anymore if the meet is using Digitrax. The Lenz throttle panel will be removed and flogged off as it is no longer usable. A few repeat snaps including the new nodding donkey which just needs a bit of scenery blending to bed it into the scene.

Coombe Barton Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Just found myself going outside for a break and up to the back gate and peering through, just like the dogs used to. I did not, however, use the lawn for what the dogs used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
