RMweb Premium MrSimon Posted March 15, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hello everybody I finally ordered some Ivorex and have started to track my progress here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/33433-mrsimons-7mm-workbench/ First tram: A Beeston Airbrake (in Yellow and Brown livery) Next Tram: A Horsfield (in Red) Then I'll think about some sort of track Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 In 1976 Oxford Publishing Hi Ted, Likeminded, yes. Would love to get involved but to date is only "armchair" interest. Resaon being I can't find any sources or other info. I would love to dabble in UK trams, (Manchester, Stockport, etc) but NOT modern ones. Have a couple of books on the real thing as well as a couple of softbacks on tramway modelling, but that is mainly 4mm 00 scale. gresley A book of 7mm scale drawings called British Electric Tramcar Design by R.W.Rush was published by Oxford Publishing Co back in 1976. No doubt it is now long out of print but well worth looking out for on second-hand book stalls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book arrived and I'm very impressed with the contents. I would recommend it to anyone interested in 7mm electric trams. Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi Mac, Glad to hear it is still possible to get the book. I think most people interested in tramway modelling in any scale would find it of interest (I bought my own copy 30-odd years ago). HSB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some of the drawings are not accurate; and the Terry Russell ones are far better reference material. However: I think the book is a great find to browse through and full of ideas for modelling a variety of trams. It doesn't worry me if some of the drawings are questionable as I'm the only one who's going to see the finished models. Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
