AireValley1962 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Does anyone know anything about the free kit in the online PocketMags edition of Hornby Magazine? There's no option to download and I can't print it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If it was like the last one I got, then you normally get a code to enter on the Scalescenes website. https://scalescenes.com/ Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BMS Posted October 12, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hmm, thanks, I will take another look. It might be hidden somewhere. The Signal box kit outer skin layer is printed on A4 pages bound into the magazine itself after page 42 - 4 pages. Needs card behind etc to complete.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Agree.... There isn't a download, so you do actually have to get hold of a copy of the magazine....and extract the printed pages which are not at one end of the magazine.....I have had a look! I wonder if there will be a download code for non-paper subscribers? Edited October 12, 2018 by Sarahagain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there will be a download code for non-paper subscribers? I suppose it might, but then it’s simple enough to print it off the screen, to either paper or a pdf file. On another matter, the competition for a Hornby 67 is not on the magazine website. (https://hornbymagazine.keypublishing.com/competitions/) Any idea when it will be there?

RMweb Premium it's-er Posted October 16, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 16, 2018 I bought the magazine because I was interested in Tim Shackleton's article on altering Hornby's O1 2-8-0, and changing Bachmann's Robinson GCR O4 2-8-0 to a Thompson 04/8 with straight boiler. The latter is fascinating, as Tim Shackleton found a Bachmann B1 boiler and cab was more or less a straight fit on to the O4 (apart from building up (down?) the lower part of the boiler with styrene sheet and filler). I was surprised the B1 boiler is long enough - I'd have assumed it would be necessary to extend the boiler, which would have complicated the conversion substantially.. So a fascinating article but, alas, spoilt by squeezing 19 excellent photographs on to 2 pages - the photographs of the conversion process are all much too small. I hope the editorial team note this for future articles. Please don't spoil a good article, especially a' show you how'', by squeezing good photographs down to tiny size.

John Storey That means I'll have to buy it then. I've already got most of the bits to do this conversion. Unfortunately it seems that Replica is out of B1 bodies for those that need them.

stewartingram Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The Free kit is a Scalescenes production....so yes, you will need card backing.... Scan it then print onto A4 sticky labels (or download it if it is on the website?). Then stick the labels to plasticard. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I bought the magazine mainly because of the kit. I was looking for something that size to help me design an ARP signal box for my own layout(not OO and I am actually not that keen on card kits). It is a nice looking design(considering its brutish austerity look), but it is not an LMS design, more a mixture of LMS and GWR. The windows are wrong, the roof is wrong for starters, but I still could use it to help me with my own design. Most of the LMS ARP signal boxes were bigger, a least 5 front windows, but I have found one, not actually installed untill1949, at Town Green station on the Ormskirk to Liverpool line. This is about same size as the kit one, so maybe there were others. Pity, especially as Ratio are bringing out a proper LMS ARP signal box(5 window), but I do now have my own design for a smaller version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
