I love the beautifully signwritten "Condemned Wagon  on loan to the Civil Engineers  dept"

 

Did whoever lent the wagons really want them back in then state tat some of them were in?

I wondered that - I can only guess they may have wanted wheelsets, couplings etc. back?

I suspect it was more to stop someone putting it back into traffic in between setting it aside and the day of filming. Either that or it's the posh version of "COND X" because they were going to be immortalised on celluloid.

Our new Bufferstop LSWR BS27 has been cast and trial built so here are some quick photos.

 

 

 

Detail was difficult to see on some photos then I got a copy of an 1894 LSWR drawing so I was able to add the correct details of the fixings..

 

Also available as an option is the stop with buffers fitted as per the drawing.

 

I could also supply a later replacement plain bufferbeam with square ends or different loco buffers on request.

Hooray.... NEW LSWR bufferstops are up on the website at last, took a wee while to get the website to load up, an update we didn't know about apparently.

 

Link to BS27 page:-

Also check out the 'CLEARANCE' items, there may be a bargain you've been looking for.

 

If you have us in favourites you may need to update our address:- http://www.lanarkshiremodels.com

 

Cheers all,

 

Dave.

Hi, have had a mad rush for the clearance items on the website this morning so some items are already sold out, must have been too cheap....  I'll keep monitoring sales to keep it up to date.
Also forgot to say we now have oil of the type used on Portescap motor/gearbox units, yes the red stuff, works well with Highlevel gearboxes too been using it myself and it seems to quieten down gears.

[davefrk]

Well, the new LSWR bufferstop has gone down very well, I had to do a second batch on Friday so thank you people, not bad for a bufferstop I had a few doubts about.

 

Also, only a few clearance items left now so thanks again.

 

Dave.

[davefrk]

New  loco buffer available now.

 

LB19 - GWR Collett Parallel Loco buffer. 1’81/2” 16” head
Typical Modern GWR Loco Buffer. Also used as a replacement on older locomotives.

 

A very cruel picture but it shows the detail of the eight bolts on the flange.

 

Also more stuff added to the Clearance lines

 

Cheers,

Dave Franks.

[davefrk]

I've added handrail wire to the clearance items, it is hard brass pin wire 0.45mm so perfect for the usual 4mm scale knobs, I've used it for years myself and it is used in the chassis kits too.

Also, piercing saw blades have been added, high quality Swiss ones and also standard ones, various sizes but not many left and 22mm cutting discs with and without mandrel.

 

As we are no longer attending shows we are selling off the items we had on the display table that were never on the website.

 

Cheers,

Dave.

As many people seem to be cutting back on Christmas cards this year, we've received maybe half the number as last year I thought Lanarkshire Models could send all our customers and readers a sort of 'e'card so here it is.

 

 

And a good New Year to one and all.

Didn't realise it's been so long since I posted something here, nothing much has happened really just been very busy. So now for the bad news:- 

Prices have been increased! Sorry but it had to come eventually. Yes, as of late last night the website was updated with the latest prices reflecting the increases in metals, mould rubber, energy, postage etc. etc. As some of you may have guessed prices have been kept stable for many years due to improved methods and increased productivity but now things have had to change hopefully you will still see our products as value for money.

 

Regards to all,

Anyone else having trouble getting on to the website? Antivirus warns about certificate, and when I continue I get 404 error notice.

I am sorry but I know so little and I have forgotten so much that I cannot help beyond suggesting a rotten cookie.

I get a security warning but Google insists on sites being encrypted these days. Fine for sites that take payment details but LM&S diverts to paypal for that so not a big issue. 

[BroadLeaves]

Nothing to do with cookies. The site appears to be using the SSL cert for the hosting provider (arvixe.com) , rather than their own.

As @Bucoops says, it's not really an issue as all payment information is via PayPal.

Problem solved firefox is a nicer browser, not insisting on googles own invented rules.

Perhaps it is another google fund raiser?

Google wants sites to be encrypted for security reasons, they don't levy any charges, it is the website hosts that charge.

 

If an unsecured website refers to PayPal or any other external payment provider, it leaves itself open to cloning and fraud.  

 

Encrypted sites can obviously still be cloned, an SSL gives the business owner and customer financial protection if that happens.

These are Superb Kits; I had around 8 of those on release. Five are in place. 

 

Dave, any chance of doing the Standard B R Loco Lamps?

Your Lamps are really 'fine' compared to existing cast ones. I like the Modelue ones, but they are so fragile.

I don't particularly mind them forcing encryption, it's Google forcing certificate valididty to be a max of 12 momnths and soon less. Used to be able to do multiple years.

Just been told about these posts, could be that Daddyman was originally using an out of date link which effectively didn't go anywhere, we have had one or two people who have had similar problems and asked them to use the website address instead of their stored link just in case the link is old or corrupted. Use the   http://lanarkshiremodels.com/  address and save it but renew it occasionally and that should do the trick.

TC01 Track cleaning kits. These were out of stock for a while but the etches did finally arrive just when the computer had a core meltdown.... We lost some stuff but most stuff was saved elsewhere, we lost the current saved website and access to it for updates though the website does function on it's own.

We now have access but need to rebuild the website on the computer complete with all the photos stored on the hard drive so that we can update the website, it is taking some time.

So a few items that are shown out of stock are actually back in stock, TC01 Track cleaner kit can be bought by ordering TC02 and emailing that you want TC01, a few have been sold this month that way after an enquiry.

Also the CR21 universal coupling rods for inside cylinder 0-6-0 locos can be purchased in this manner, just remember to email with your enquiry.

 

Hope that all helps,

 

Dave Franks.
