RMweb Gold Russ (mines a pint) Posted December 17, 2009 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks Chris, that was wonderfully put and you appear to have nailed my own perspective to the right spot as an unintended consequence! I could smell the sun-warmed oil and creosote while I read that little scenario through... Dave. Yep Cheers ChrisB that has sort of fixed things, you are quite right about the transient passing of a train. I think the hangups of correct couplings/pipes etc become far more important, whilst exhibiting with 3 links I have heard stuff like 'he should be coupling the loco to the wagons' not 'the wagons to the loco' Use 3links 'cos they look good - the Heljan ones are quite fine and sub-bufferbeam, so fairly difficult to catch even with an 'implement' - its always easier to catch a coarse-ish Smiths link and fasten it to the loco. I suppose that each thing I do to my layout or stock to make things look more 'real' increases the potential for someone who is a trainspotter to say I'm doing something incorrectly?

RMweb Gold Russ (mines a pint) Posted December 17, 2009 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2009 Elsewhere often been the south end of Donny station Exactly I used to like Donny when it was full of Deltics , but its much overated these days - I can still remember which 'BR blue' classes had round or oval buffers, but not the exact detail of where the bufferbeam pipes should be! Deltics had oval yes? late 26 & 27 had round but the early 26's had oval and different grilles but I wouldnt expect someone who wasnt a BRCW fan to know that?

59004 ( was Shedcombe....) Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi there, Chipping in late, but can I advocate 00-sf ? 16.2 mm gauge, with EM tolerances, sometimes referred to as EM -2 ( minus 2 ). Can look realy great, and no need to re-wheel. I've chosen this route, but have yet to start construction. A great sample in Pensnett, here : Pensnett on the old RMweb Forum Regards, Michel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
