RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted January 17 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17 (edited) I would definitely be interested in one. Had I managed to get any of the TSOs before Radley sadly closed, I would have got a couple of DMSOs to make up a full set.

pete_mcfarlane Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'd also be interested in some 4mm W&C stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I would be interested in some of these, likely for hauling, but I guess a Tenshodo might fit the bill to motor one. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Be aware that Black Beetles ARE still available - but only directly from the producer in Oz, who is happy to supply to the UK.

Michael Hodgson Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Yes, that's all very well, but what about modelling the layout? Build the Drain in a length of drain pipe? Or maybe model the lift at Waterloo? And perhaps this country's first travelator at the other end ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagonmaster Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I too would like some of this stock. Sadly I was unable to get a TSO, so some some of each, or just something to make up a short train would be great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meld Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Hi Arun, This is welcome news and I would be looking for some DMSO's to go with my TSO's that I bought a while ago. Meld Edited January 17 by meld Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus1 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Sounds interesting. black Beetle bogies are indeed still available as CCTrans says above. I recently bought about 6 of differing sizes for 1959 tube stock, Kitmaster Blue Pullman and Q23 motor coach, and a few to spare. Are you sure different motor bogies were fitted? I thought they were the same as those used in LT Standard Stock. They had one motor bogie in the driving cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Eastleigh bogies built to a similar design to LTs 1956TS were longer WB than the original Bulleid 1940 ones and used Metalstik rubber suspension.

Lord of Narnia Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I was surprised a few years ago to see such a modern bogie on the vehicle at the LTM. See the attached photo taken from the museum’s site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arun Sharma Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Yes, that's the LT design that Eastleigh used when they replaced the original 1940s bogies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
