I hope a good few pints of the good stuff have been consumed today (at home). I have always planned to visit Dublin for St.Patrick's Day one year, the Guiness tastes so much better there than here.

cheesysmith Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Having purchased several of your sprung buffers for upgrading kits, can I suggest a improvement. Model the buffer head and shaft in the colour needed instead of black. The spindle or self contained need to be rusty brown, and the oleo`s need to be silver. I am cautious to paint these myself in case I jam up the spring action. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Coal sector symbol having diamonds being my logic, or not - we’ll see I guess!) Little diamond implies to me that it might well be a black diamond. Which in turn suggests it could possibly refer to a livery or equally it might refer to the type of traffic so it could possibly not include a diamond in the livery. And 'little' suggests that it might be a wagon. On the other hand it might be the label design for an Accurascale limited edition bottle of Guinness. No doubt we'll find out if we tune in at the appropriate time on Saturday. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
