RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted July 15, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2016 Well, I've been tinkering with Mr Frank's latest products and lovely they are too. Unfortunately, I can never leave anything as manufactured. LMS-RIVbufferLmp-005-Edit-Sm.jpg Modified LP04 LNER/BR lamp mounted on a Hornby K1 smokebox door and BO38 RIV buffer prepared for springing. LMS-RIVbufferLmp-009-Edit-Sm.jpg Lamp on K1 Smokebox. Shame about Hornbys chronically poor interpretation and application of weathering. LMS-RIVbufferLmp-006-Edit-Sm.jpg BO38 assembled. Finally a boring vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwRcj9-tZUY Porcy [unusual Disclaimer: I know Mr Franks of LMS models quite well & think the sun shines out of his orifice.] I don't reckon much to the solebar you've fitted that buffer to.

Norton961 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Dave, I have tried logging onto the Lanarkshire Models web site and it appears corrupted. All I can see is a page of buffers. The "real" pages can just be seen behind the buffers but is unreadable! Anyone else having the same problem with the website? I have tried to access via both an IPad and a desktop PC.

davknigh Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) FWIW the LMS website comes in fine with Safari but a bit of a mess with Firefox 47.0 using OSX 10.11.5. To show what I mean by "a bit of a mess" I attach a screen shot from Firefox Cheers, David Edited July 17, 2016 by davknigh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Working OK here - Firefox, W10 and a very slow Inmarsat internet connection... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hi all, seems to be working fine on our Firefox and Chrome so I don't really want to start mucking about with settings. Had this problem a good while ago and it seemed to sort itself out. Hopefully the new up to date website package we are working on will help. Clicking on the photos should also take you to the indexes or relevant pages. If you are having problems ordering please email and we'll be happy to help. Dave Franks.

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted July 17, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 17, 2016 I sometimes have this problem on my laptop and find that if I hit the maxmise button in the top right, between the X close down and - minimise buttons, it seems to sort itself out.

Stuart Birks Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 This problem occurs in Firefox if you increase the font size. This can be shown by pressing the Alt key to bring up the old menu. Click on View > Zoom > Zoom text only. Then hold down Ctrl and press the + key a few times. Pressing Ctrl and - a few times reduces the font size and it all looks ok.

davefrk Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hopefully out next week, North British loco buffer, used from about the turn of the 19th century till NB locos were withdrawn in the 60s, J35,J36,J37,N15,D30,D34, etc,etc. LMS wagon buffer 1'6'' self contained with 18'' head, suitable for various bogie vehicles eg, LMS Bogie brakevans, LMS bogie hoppers, some bogie bolsters and the 12 wheel Trestrol we all had as kids from Tri-ang, a few people have been rebuilding these Trestrols by cutting and shutting two together to make the correct length so we'll now have the correct buffer for it. And the smaller RIV buffer as fitted to some of the French type mineral wagons as running on BR. Will post pictures of the castings next week.

davefrk Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Hi all, new items on the website now. LB14 - Standard loco buffer for North British locos, eg. J83, J35, J36, J37, D34, C16, etc. B050 - LMS buffer 1'6'' 18 head for bogie guards vans, bogie hopper wagons, some bogie bolsters and 12 wheel Trestrol well wagon (old Tri-ang model). B039 - RIV buffer 2'01/2'' 14'' head seen on some mineral wagons that were sent to France for the war effort and later returned to the UK. And next, an apology, I wondered why we hadn't sold many of the latest guards van side lamp, the link on the website was broken at some time so you couldn't see the page. All now fixed, I hope. LG04 - LMS/BR roll top side lamp. Thanks Dave Franks. Edited for missing code numbers. Edited August 3, 2016 by davefrk 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefrk Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Apologises again, something went wrong with the upload yesterday leading to a problem with a couple of pages, not noticed till this morning, all sorted now, I hope.

Porcy Mane Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 How about some of these Dave? 20" version was common on fitted vans and the 24" on Brake some brake vans. http://www.traintesting.com/images/Workington41.jpg http://www.traintesting.com/images/Workington31.jpg http://www.traintesting.com/images/Workington11.jpg Despite digging, I've never managed to find out who manufactured them?

P I've always heard them described as 'BR Self-contained'- B013 looks very similar. I think they were based on a GWR design that had been used on clay tipplers and the 'Pole' 20t minerals.
