RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted November 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2017 sorry this one.... Gerald Michael Nolan Corbett.jpg Looks rather like the individual concerned. Are those some Bachmann tank wagons on his sideboard in the background? He was once a parishioner of mine. I thought it was Herr Flick for a moment.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 24, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2017 I didn't really appreciate Allo Allo the first time around but I now find it absolutely hilarious. Bloody French! One or two episodes were so funny I actually had to lie down afterwards to relieve the aching laughter bits. There was one that involved a Pissoir but I can't really remember what happened. (Awaits full U Tube link). Lit El Tank 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember there was one episode with no dialogue at all; brilliant and very, very atmospheric. Maybe I have something to learn from that last bit? Well, today I thought my Gates had arrived, but no, it were two Southern Pride Mk1 D25 Kits. One has etched sides and the other has the plassi ones. I have mentioned those before. There were also some useful 'Interiors'. Top notch service from Dave at Southern Pride. Phil 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 25, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2017 Having not felt very 'strong' for several days I have been doing a lot of slobbing around and looking at SR coaches info, mainly Bulleids. Having read some comments on an old thread on the Special Interests section I have become aware of just how 'lacking in detail' the Bachman Bulleid Coaches are. How have I not noticed this before? They look OK from miles away, however when I looked at the UF on the D2123 BK3rd of a Baccy one I acquired that has no interior, there are no V hangers, (so very obvious on the modified brake gear coaches), no footboards and the Dynamo end has a great mould line on the end! Doh! So this means I have yet more fettling to do and, of course, there is also no short-cut to converting a Bachman BK3 to a D2406 BCK other than new sides. Happy times ahead. The looking continues.

Mulgabill Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Please stop causing upset! I,ve got to 2 out of the 3 I need to represent the Bath - Bristol set I travelled in as an 11 year old. Now you're telling me I should have stuck with the old green triang-Hornby MK1s that i had all along! Incidentally you mention footboards. I had a packet of "details" come with the brake, but couldn't fathom out quite where they should fit, especially as there was an odd number. (Surely thats not possible when there are 2 sides to the coach. All the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Streak Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 when one needs about 50 Bulleids then you have to compromise Chris! As I continue to "collect" items for My eventual dream trainset. I have also come to the conclusion that I must accept the shortcomings of Hornby's Gresley Coaches in order to have the required amount that I will need. This is because I CBA to scratch / kitbash the amount I will require, anyway they all look fine from 6 feet and with half a dozen beers under the belt. It's almost like regressing back 30 years, only the 6' and 6 beers rule applied to birds at the pub instead of OO coaches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
