Edwardian Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Maybe, like omnibuses, all these will turn up at the same time! You mean as in "you wait years for an RTR Peckett, and then 3 turn up at once"? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 You mean as in "you wait years for an RTR Peckett, and then 3 turn up at once"? I'd never even thought of having a Peckett of any sort until it was announced. A fireless Bagnall on the other hand, is something I'd have liked at any time since I drove the H&P one! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted September 12, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2016 Ok we now have most of a page of omnibuses, while more amusing than paranoia about sold out models getting too far off topic One thing is I wonder why they've not announced some MSC and H&P wagons to match? A case of splitting horsehairs,I fear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 A quick Google search shows that Bachmann have made a Huntley & Palmers wagon and Dapol have made a Manchester Ship Canal wagon. Powsides also have a kit and transfers for a Huntley & Palmers wagon. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I wish now I hadn't mentioned they were selling quickly...... Yes, entirely your fault. We should have had a sensible, dignified, pause, now that everything actually Peckett-related has been discussed, pending arrival of the actual models in our lily white hands. Upon which, the topic should experience a new lease of life with posts: (1) Displaying our proud-owner pictures of the gorgeous little fellas, which allow us all to go "ooh, ah" like women with other people's babies (I am not sexist;I've been there for Helen Tichner through it all!); and, (2) Complaining that "my new Peckett derails every time I run it over the points at 150 mph round my radius one curved track nailed upside down on the ceiling. Is anyone else having this problem?" Edited September 12, 2016 by Edwardian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone else having this problem?" Dear Edwardian, I think you your friend has probably put a nail through a pipe, and the pressure of escaping water is forcing your Peckett off the track. If so, you need to call a plumber. If there isn't a wet patch on the ceiling, I would advise leaving the house as quickly as possible, and calling the fire brigade, as a spark from the loco pickups may trigger a gas explosion.

Dear Peckett Derailer, Believe me, here at BG John's Agony Column, we have a lot of readers who write to us with similar problems. You are not alone! So buck up, there's a dear. Now then, the most common cause of ceiling derailments is modellers laying their track on Artex. So, if you have an Artex ceiling, you need either to strip it back to a smooth plasterboard surface, or, rebuild all your stock with fully compensated chassis. Dear me, I don't know which would be worse. Personally, Dear, I'd be tempted to burn my house down and start again! If you are still having problems, try power base under-track strip and super strength magnets! If you are still having problems, try moving to Australia, where your ceiling would be the right way up! If you are still having problems, try not being such an utter [enough - Ed.] Edited September 12, 2016 by Edwardian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I think quite a few companies are still officially called Omnibus Company. This one is part of Stagecoach. https://companycheck.co.uk/company/01713578/CHELTENHAM-AND-GLOUCESTER-OMNIBUS-COMPANY-LIMITED/companies-house-data Also there are some heritage groups that run commercial services such as Wyvern. http://www.wyvern-omnibus.co.uk/ Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant -- in daily speech, not in the official names of the bus companies. And as for high court judges, the least said, the better.

Phew, there was me thinking that putting my Eddie Stobart collection on the bridge would cause a diplomatic incident! ah, but that bus is going to Clapham Jct, which is in Battersea, it's not actually going to Clapham! Neil It's not going anywhere. It is on the stand right outside Clapham Junction BR station at the end of its route The southern entrance of the station is on the left/other side of the road if we could see it. If anyone fancies a cheeky little diorama you can replicate this bridge on Latchmere Road, a bit further along along the line from CJ towards town. Ideal for the new Bachmann 450's and a foreign registered Oxford diecast artic wedged underneath. Satnavs send lost truckers along this road on a regular basis and they don't notice the low bridge. Regularly blocked, and no.6 in NR's Bridge Strike Top 10 http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/3563.aspx Or use a bit of Realistic Water for this scenario - same location Back to Pecketts now....

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted September 13, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2016 If I miss out on a H&P Peckett due to increased pre-ordering, I don't mind. I think this is one model that Hornby will make more of, and as I'm hopeful that with a colour photo of 'George Jennings' existing Hornby will do that particular one, I can wait. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted September 14, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2016 George Jennings would be an excellent subject. As you say Ian, the livery is well documented and would sit well with Hornby's recent ex L&SWR subjects. Here's looking forward to it's release........ Rob.
