    Feel free Luis Ask any questions you like - and I'll probably fail miserably to answer them - I'm not up to speed on N gauge but the design does rely on effective couplers if you want to get the most out of if Olá Chris

    Pixash Lane has made it into Railway Modeller - words have been played with a bit and not all the photos made it in but I'm pleased how it came across - the article also has a small plug for Exmoor Rail on 1 August Chris

    Looking forward to seeing this again at Stow Simon I shall be demoing some narrow gauge - but the 16mm WW1 variety! Chris

    I hard wired mine with a micro plug to allow separation of body and chassis - along with other changes which finally ended up wit the fitting of a capacitor... Chris

    Slightly off-topic but any news on the Prestwin kits? Chris

    There appear to be versions with ladders both in line with the manhole cover and off-set. We were chatting about this (in the context of weathering my new Heljan 7mm version)- while operating at a show last week and a quick web search showed both configurations. Chris

    Shot by one of the crew - doesn't a video highlight all the gaps and glitches....

    Thanks Captain - Wantage was a small but very high quality show put on by Alan Postlethwaite in a nice venue - we well looked after by the Scout Group who will benefit from the fund raising and the associated Mums - the flow of delivered coffee was endless, the cakes were excellent, as were the bacon rolls and burgers....I could go on... Next stop Exmoor Rail in August....

    Just bumping this for tomorrow Chris

    Mine was certainly based on photos of the real thing mainly around Herefordshire/Gloucestershire and even when "clean" they were quite grubby. Chris

    I've just seem Tim Shackleton's version in Hornby Mag - I think I can probably add a few more small improvements. Chris

    Now with added Dogfish - there's quite a difference in size:

    I plan to weather mine based on various photos I have of 64xx panniers in Gloucestershire including the Forest of Dean. I couldn't work out what was not quite right - then it dawned on me that in virtualy all the photos(both in day to day use and on SLS specials) the safety valve is metal rather than body colour - I've done a bit of painting.

    A couple of photos of a normal Herring - completed but for white handrails and weathering (plus load). Its not visible but I managed to get some lead sheet across the wagon behind the buffer beams so it should run empty. One more to build plus 4 more on order. Definitely not a "shake the box" kit to quote our Americam cousins but a nice result. I meant to photo the completed model next to an enormous Dogfish but that will have to wait until tomorrow - these really are quite small... Chris

    Modelmania Bristol is usually not far off Hatton's prices - and I'd buy there anyway to ensure they ARE there
