RMweb Premium TrevorP1 Posted October 23, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2021 Pleased to see your 18000 is working well Rob, as is mine. There's been a lot of grumbling on another thread but we won't talk about that here. It's an ugly beast though isn't it - and I still think it looks like Sarah Siddons. I have my Warships of various kinds, D63s and a Whizzo. All work very well but for the sheer satisfaction of watching something move, you can't beat a steam engine. 5 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sell the Heljan Railcar on you are stronger willed than I ! The furthest North they got was Stourport in the Midlands** but it really is a fine model…..lots of fun to operate so, not for the first time, Rule 1 has been invoked at Granby. ** Actually thats not quite true …..apparently, during the war, two of the railcars were loaned to the LNER and operated in the Newcastle area! 2 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2750Papyrus Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Is there a specific reason why the railcars did not work on the South Devon branches? Or just lack of consideration for modellers! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
