RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted December 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2017 As the late, great Cyril Freezer might have said, a pink with yellow spots prairie is better than no prairie at all.

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted December 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) Have you got a prairie in pink with yellow spots? I have an Airfix one, a totally sh@gged Airfix one but one all the same... it's black and green (where the factory applied black paint has come off). Do I win a prize? Please .

Quite right. CJF's original comment was in response to those who were complaining that BR had repainted the Vale of Rheidol locos in rail blue with white double arrows.

Trouble is that despite the democratic selection of the "Irish Pete" name, somebody got all strait-laced when the loco finally was ready for naming - it is now known as "Tom Rolt".

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted December 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 14, 2017 Insixfish? Has anyone built a 4 mm scale Insixfish, or perhaps generated a 3D-printed model? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2017 Has anyone built a 4 mm scale Insixfish, or perhaps generated a 3D-printed model? Oddly as far as I can the various available models (all kits), including a 3-D printed body, are not in 4mm scale. Which is a bit odd when you consider the popularity of certain parts of the Western where these would have run among 4mm scale, various gauges, modellers.
