davefrk Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 The good old Tunnocks caramel wafer, ye canna beat them. Every now and again the local shops have bags of broken ones for a quid, lovely. We can smell the caramel sometimes as the Tunnocks factory is just over the River Clyde from us. Plenty of ideas on the list for the future but I'm afraid Paul the Tunny wagon isn't one of them. Dave Franks. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we did that at a show a few years ago after a string of humorous posts regarding Tunny bars. Sorry but the offer finished when stocks ran out.... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Dave for getting the natives all excited, I thought (correctly) that I had posted "have" as in the past tense, obviously I'm losing track of the English language, I wonder what I should of put?!!!

Popular Post davefrk Posted March 18, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Hi all, just had a call from the Asthma nurse that oversees my COPD condition and I've been advised to stay at home for the duration so not really a change there then as I work from home anyway. Occasional visits to the post office would be okay with care so orders can be posted but, only once a week instead of most days..... Good stocks of everything as I was re-stocking for Scalefour North so no problem there. Anyway, everyone keep safe and WASH YER HANDS.

davefrk Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi all, just to say thanks to all the customers and I hope you're all keeping busy and not just staring out the window. Later today I'll be posting a pile of orders so if you're needing something and we've got the stuff it can be posted otherwise it will be next week before I'm allowed out again.... All the best and keep safe. Dave Franks 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2020 Dave can't you find a reliable gopher to do the PO trips for you? I'd hate to think of you exposing yourself to risk simply to get stuff out although I realise you need to keep the business running. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted September 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Are we allowed to wishlist?

Hold on before we get off the subject of coach buffers. We’re still waiting for 4 types of GWR coach buffers and the associated wagon buffer versions. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy's Law (or Porcy's rule of wishlists and telling the manufactures what they should have produced analogies): Laws are made to be broken so in for a penny, in for a punt. How about some 20" 3 rib buffers with textured top flat (step)? For 12 ton box vans and some brake vans. And while I'm on some coupling rods for a J27 please? The bosses unusually have oiling flanges cast at both the twelve o clock and six o clock positions. Crockford Rail doesn't look to have modelled it on their up and coming. Punt over.

Quite similar to rods on Great Central locomotives. Extract from ROD 8K (O4) coupling rod drawing below... I wonder how often the bottom plugs were taken off to drain oil and inspect for the level of metallic contamination in the oil? Changing the subject. Dave? Are the Stanier 2-6-2T castings now available for general purchase please? cheers...Morgan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J27 rods would be useful as long as they can replace them on Alexander Models version as there are 2 waiting to be built. What Stanier 2-6-2 castings?
