    Hi Rob I always recommend diagonal bracing - it will enormously increase the torsional rigidity of the board. (It can always be added after you have decided point motor location)
  2. MPR started following 6880 Betton Grange in steam.

    6880 at Watchet on the West Somerset Railway

    Torbay Airshow 2024
  5. MPR started following Dapol Class 22 conversion to P4 - a new approach

    Thanks, Tim. That looks a good deal easier than the split axles method - I've got one of these to do for Torre - and I'll definitely do it this way!
  7. MPR started following Kernow GWR steam rail motor , Paignton - (Abandoned) Plan for Five-Platform Station (1930s) , New Transport Treasury Publishing Titles and 4 others

    The plan is in the first edition too. It’s on p133.

    I've got it too - and I haven't complained about any errors. I think this is an excellent move to encourage engagement from their customer base (and of course to improve the quality of books published). I would volunteer, but I fear most of the railway data in my head is from secondary sources too!

    Given the volume and weight, it can only be cast aluminium - and therefore a replica. (Nice, though!)

    A few from the early 1990s in Devon and of course positioning moves for railtours

    I've been scanning some old negatives - from IAT Fairford 1989

    There are handrail knobs on the side of the smokebox, so not a 57xx (could be 97xx/94xx/15xx. But looks more like a std 1 to me.

    I used a little tacky wax to hold the chimney in place.

    I'm starting to scan old negatives - I have some way to go with learning the software, but here is an early effort - a photograph taken on 7th July 1985 next to the Teign estuary.

    A few more...

    Starting to scan some of my old BW negatives - from mid-1980s - I'll update the details later when I've found my notes.
