brianusa Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I have a problem with uploading pictures to the internet. Used to be no trouble so I'm afraid these aren't the best. This was intended to be a SR T9 or similar and has been upgraded over time with more realistic spoked drivers. etc. Sorry about that! Brian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2021 This afternoon I went out to get some fruit and veg. I asked the man in The Village Shop if he had any kale. 'No', he said, 'but we do have ale'. So I bought some. 5 1 2 1 3 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted April 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2021 Evening all. Quick question, to be deleted if it is discussed elsewhere. Accurascale Manor: what a choice of detail differences. Thoughts on it compared to the probable alternative from Dapol? Asking for my only friend. P P.S. The Greens are crap, but not going down. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted April 25, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thanks for the Manor suggestions chaps. Like the idea of the cast body on the Accy one. I don't actually need one, buuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttt. The Dapol 63XX is ok in mists respects. Wait and see is probably the way to go. Oh yes, best wishes to you all by the way. Still here but what a waste of a year in my case. P 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be adding an extra GWR compo and all third to my Cardiff-Brighton GWR/Southern set, for the next three days. (only as I do not have spare Southern coaches and I do not think passengers would like travelling in the SR luggage van that has just gone on the layout).
