Baggies1961 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 When I turned layout around I packed the tug away and forgot about it. So out it came tonight, wheels cleaned and back on the rails. The driver hands over the single line token to the signalman and stops again at the platform. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brossard Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I should tell you that I think your layout is superb. Going back to your first post, I think your worries were unfounded. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Thanks John, but if it had not been for this forum I would be no where, I have begged stole and borrowed ideas from the experts such as yourself by asking how do you do that? You like many others on the RM Web respond pdq with help guidance and advice, as you did when I took the plunge and built my first kit! Without that I think, me especially, would be snookered! My biggest mistake I think, is what most people do before they start, is by not planning properly. Electrics still confuse me a tad but Im determined Il crack it one day . Due to my eyes deteriorating this my first O Gauge layout, Iv thoroughly enjoyed building it and love the diverse range of superb layouts here on the web which gave me the inspiration to have a go in the first place. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 One turbot has now had slaters lamp brackets fitted in place of the moulded ones. Still puzzled as to the level of detail on the wagon, particularly underneath it and out of sight and they mould the lamp brackets! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these spares off the vacuum pipe sprue or do they sell them separately? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hi Hal, They are sold as a pack of 6. It was easier to go photo it than go to their site. Regards Julian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Damn these retailers reducing the price of the 50’s. Meet the new 50 which will become 50035 Ark Royal. Have asked Steve at Railtec for transfers and plates from Shawplan hopefully. Annoyingly I will have to try and amend incorrect lining on the front ends and weather. This one has Legomanbiffo sound fitted and is not as noisy as 50049 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Has anyone heard from Steve Bell at realtec lately? Just been trying for over a week now to hear from him regarding ordering some transfers. I guess he maybe on his holidays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been trying for over a week now to hear from him regarding ordering some transfers. I guess he maybe on his holidays. As usual he's mega busy. He's made contact with me over some bits I ordered the other week so I am sure he'll get to you. If its off the shelf stuff then you'll usually get a response straight away and despatched with in a day or so. If its bespoke (even if its just a number set) it can take a bit longer as he doesn't just send you a 'set of numbers' he'll check them against the actual loco to get the spacing and weight etc right. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Many thanks for that part of the enquiry is indeed for a bespoke set of numbers for a loco. Edited September 28, 2020 by Baggies1961 Repetition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
