RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted November 9, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2010 Photo attached of Charlie and Arran coming back from Manchester Airport, Arrans new car is excellent for this!

Glorious NSE Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thanks Dave - the connected brake pipes for the inner ends are quite a funky feature. B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted November 15, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thanks Dave - the connected brake pipes for the inner ends are quite a funky feature. B) Sure are - my only comment is I think they will be limited to 18" radius curves, which is not a problem for most but might be for some, and I think the box should advise of that. I've not compared to the prototype yet but they do look very good indeed - a nice job by Charlie and Arran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested the wagon on 1st Rad track and it went round OK, now whether it will go round with an FEA reliably is open to question, as it did work but i wouldn't do it as it looks wrong anyway. And you will be glad to here that the empty wagons are here, so you this week end "with money i hope" Regards Arran Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I've already been debited Arran so hopefully my empties are somewhere near the post. Have a good show at Warley and hope you sell loads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigwelsh Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The wheels look like something in N gauge when you get 00 tyres of such small diameter. Far too modern for me but it looks nice and the box is certainly better quality than the usual plastic. I look forward to the Pacer as I might get one just to feel glad I don't have to get on a real one . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious NSE Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Is it right that you have Evergreen as part of run 2? If so I'm definately up for that. Also Evergreen "family" names like Lloyd Triestino, Italia Marittima (ITALIA) Then MOL, Hyundai...although probably by that point i'll have enough 45G1s for the train i'm doing!
