RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted June 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) To misquote the late great George Best, I spent a lot of money on drink, women, fast cars , Accurascale siphons and I wasted the rest.

Did you completely remove the brake shoes or manage to get them trimmed? Mine arrived yesterday and I spent an hour or so gently probing and fiddling to see how to convert them to EM. Has anyone else managed it and if so, how did you do it? Many thanks in advance for any responses. Douglas Hi Douglas, I removed them, and re-attached them after trimming them down, I had to cut them off and then glue them back in. I can send you some photos if they'd be of any help! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunel276 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Having ordered these upon release and waited patiently from Hattons, I see that they are not available. Does anyone know why Hattons has yet to receive stock and who may have stock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, the factory messed up some barcoding, which meant the orders containing two of the SKUs were delayed while those SKUs were relabelled. Apologies for the mess up, all the shipments were sent Friday. Edited June 4, 2023 by McC 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed that announcement. 😁 That ship was built in 1977 and was still operational a year ago in the Middle East. Recently called the Asarrah, it looks as if she was scrapped in Pakistan at the Gadani yard. Thats quite a long career for a ship that initially was plagued with engine issues. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd only need to open the sliding bridge (the river bridge is upstream of the canal entrance). However, you'd probably be better off heading up to Goole, and then taking the canal from there as it is much deeper and the locks are much bigger. <looks for a siphon pun> Adrian 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45125 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Having just received my Dia. O.62 W1047, I am highly impressed. Rail blue looks spot on for the era. Nice crisp lettering. And the bogies and under frame detail take coach models to whole new level. The MK2s if they are to the level will all be very well received.
