I am, of course, waiting for one in carmine or maroon... (and possibly may wait until I can find a second-hand example at a lower price that the current retail). 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted October 14, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 14, 2023 Evening all. Apologies yet again. A question about renaming Castles if that's OK? I used some Fox Plates today and they are OK , but they didn't really fit neatly on the existing plates (Steel and not easy to cut shorter or remove entirely as [art of a larger Steel Plate that forms the face of the Wheel arch front, as you probably know ). I may be cack handed, but they were very flimsy too. It was 5043 Earl of Mount Edgecumbe and is now 5049 Earl of Plymouth. (I have another Edgecumbe). Thus my question is, to those that may have done it, which Plates are bets for Hornby Castles and any tips for when I do a couple of others? I should ask if there are any detail differences I need to be aware of for Plymuff, compared to the original Edgecumbe...but that's a second question! I have painted over the OHL Warning Stickers; not appropriate for the dates I'm running it/them. Many thanks. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I'd had the nowse to ask first and seen that earlier Brian. I shall have a look at the choice of Plates at Fox as they do different mounting versions I think? However, Weathering will cover the lack of lining etc. (says he hopefully). Many thanks for your time. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that it was 2021. Who knows? Anyway I do know I went through Swindon today. Still feeling quite ill but I'm hoping seeing the LSWR T3 running tomorrow at Swanage will sort that out.

Im surprised to see that Chris Price from the NYMR is moving to the tank museum at Bovington. Certainly a loss for the NYMR. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil I usually remove the Hornby plate completely by continually scoring with a sharp Stanley blade. I then fit three mounting brackets into the splasher not the front plate and then put it all together. Note some of the Earl plates radii do not match up with the Castle splasher as they came from the smaller wheeled 4-4-0 locos. Look at the full size 5043.

I let Avanti take me yesterday, apart from a cancelled Edinburgh service (I was on the Manchesters) all the other trains including LNWR seemed to be running to time, a bit like the railway before Covid, perhaps it is getting there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Northampton is nothing but trouble. When I worked for Silverlink, we were hoping for a joint project with South West Trains to merge Northampton and Southampton, and produce one enormous Hampton. Sadly Connex South Central objected, on behalf of the residents of Littlehampton (where Sherry's ex was born). 1 2 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
