Baggies1961 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hi Nick, Thanks for that. Did you hear a penny drop where you are? Just spent an hour over breakfast going through your excellent thread then saw your dyserth road mention. I still remember the excellent feature in Model rail supplement I think it was then many years ago. Best wishes Julian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian, yes Dyserth Road was me back in 2003 and it featured in Rail Express Magazine. Back then it was Lima locos with Express Models lighting kits and the odd class 37 sound from South West Digital. After Dyserth Road I built Holland Park container terminal. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hi Nick, Remember the terminal too, apologies Id forgotten it was in Rail Express. Who would have thought back then, us British modellers would eventually get American style mechanisms and detail as standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Yes, I too have been looking for a forklift. I'll get right on that. John OK, assume this is the site: https://www.rustyrail.com/oscaleindex.html I have been through every category but don't see the fork lift. No doubt I have missed something. All American with little crossover for us. Very nice stuff though. Edited October 16, 2022 by brossard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the wrong end of the stick as usual. Thanks for the links. John Order placed. I'm a bit miffed that postage is more than the product and normally this would be a deal breaker. However, I don't know of another fork lift model so it's this or nothing. Edited October 16, 2022 by brossard 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I only noticed the other day the brake levers are on the wrong way round so wouldn't work as would both turn the crank the wrong way for the brakes. The plain lever should be on the side with the controls. As that photo shows, you cant really see though! Does anyone know when grey came in? I thought it was TOPS but have seen a grey rake behind a Hall. I'm now wondering if those are actually yellow but completely caked in cement...

Assembled and painted its a great little model, just a bit of weathering to do on on now. Hi Nick, Just painting my FLT which arrived yesterday, have you added straps to the cylinder, if so what did you use? Cheers Julian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
