Chap thrust this into my arms ( well placed it on the doorstep). Was a tad disappointed Heljan have boo booed on 50036 and not produced enough and will have to wait till January 22 now. So as a comfort Roger at Tower supplied Ramilies…. How kind. just noted the red buffer beam. Ramillies never had red bufferbeams, they should be black!

Baggies1961 Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 An unusual and rare find on the tinterweb from a shop a couple of Heljan OAA’s. Thought they were to good to miss so snapped them up. They will of course be weathered in time. In the absence of rtr modern stock these will do for the time being. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Spoke to Roger at Tower late this afternoon, the Dapol 122’s when they arrive hopefully the 24 th July are all going to be checked individually due to them being in a container for so long and the temperatures they may have been put through might have affected various parts on them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Ah Im presuming Dapol Paul as it will obviously add to the delay, especially if faults are found. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it very much depends on where in the ship the container was. Hopefully on the inside away from the glare of the sun. If they are significantly damaged then I predict a shortfall and a number of unfulfilled orders! Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Yes thats my fear as no more will be produced until they know the potential damage.

Will go nice with your cargowaggons and some HEA and VEA’s. However you will need a longer layout 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he did a pack not so long back, but I can't find it either. He has definitely done them as I've got a set on 26024, but at that time he didn't do a pack.

Baggies1961 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Thanks Al, much appreciated. On another matter great to see a tractor on the Hull-Bridlington line today I saw 37403 light engine, cross Wansford Road level crossing in the town and yesterday from the car and across the fields near Arram another large logo 37 ( may well have been 403). Any loco on this line is sadly a rare event nowadays. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
