    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

    Volume 2 is supposed to be out by Warley 2015 - includes Forest of Dean apparently..... Chris

    That I like

    Great stuff - when will they be available? Chris

    Hattons have said this to me: I have checked the similar B tanks we have in stock and unfortunately all of them are unnumbered and do not come with number sheets or transfers. It is to my understanding that for whatever reason Heljan have not included them on any of these models.
  12. Gilbert
    No transfers in mine - I think Railtec are looking into suitable sheets but if they weremeant to be supplied it would be nice to have them

    Thanks - the over-riding impression I'm getting from that plus side-on shots is that unless the loco is spotless the top of the boiler and tanks is very similar (if a little more subtle) in appearance to the roof of the cab! Chris

    Has anyone found any decent prototype phots of the green version showing the top of the boiler and panniers as I'd like to weather mine and i can't find anything to show how the greeen top weathered in use Chris
  15. Gilbert
    Thanks Steve The 40 is too big for my spray booth so will be along later...

    A few photos from this morning following a weekend away "weathering" at Missenden.

    Have you not heard of the O'Heljans from Donegal...oh dear...
  18. Gilbert
    What transfers are people using to add Helljan Esso Tank numbers? I don't want to splash out on anything costly just for one wagon! Chris

    Heljan new 7mm Esso Tank orderd Saturday; email to say picked Sunday afternoon, delivered by Yodel Monday morning - I can't complain...

    I've just got mine and I have to say at first glance I'm not disappointed - springing is prolific - a bit odd but it all seems to run and I'm not sure where I'm going to fit my Spratt & Winkle couplings due to all the detail but that's my problem. I'm taking mine to Missenden for weathering under supervision! Chris

    It was Adrian who inspired my post...am I banned?
  22. Gilbert
    It's the Dapol version apparently....

    Expensive but worthwhile are the Parkwood Arts RUB inserts - I use their OO inserts for both 4mm and 3.5mm stock in both 2 layer and 4 layer boxes - the inserts are slightly longer for the 2 layer version- and they will sell the inserts separately if you already own the boxes. http://www.parkwood-arts.co.uk/html/oo___ho_gauge_.html Chris

    I really would stick with genuine Kadees if you require reliability and resilience - they do a smaller HO "scale" head if you prefer something smaller Chris

    Where are people buying their kits - directly from Cambrian? Chris
