Great to finally see the layout in person. Absolutely fabulous...it was the best in show for me by far.

Thanks Dave!

Absolutely stunning modelling and so inspiring. I'm just starting out on a small layout based in Edwardian times-what a great period to model!

Fabulous modelling. I also love Italian trains. I was lucky enough to ride the Settebello in the early 1980s-so stylish!

Hi Marc - that's good to know! Thanks.

Hmmmm. The thing is that not all of us can or want to build rolling stock/passenger coaches from brass kits! I certainly do not. It didn't stop Dapol bringing out a Terrier or an 08, given that both are available in kit form . I think there is a market for both kits and r-t-r and I would be more inclined to buy a kit or two from Furness and 'have a go' if I had some r-t-r trucks, knowing that if I made a mess of things, I would still have something to go back to! I hope Dapol are not bowing to any sort of pressure and will think this one through very carefully. There are a lot of LBSCR Terriers out there with not a lot to pull, and with a Marsh liveried one planned for next year that will be even more the case. I am hoping this will signal a renaissance for pre-grouping, given the relatively small amount of space it needs. Guess we will have to wait and see!

Oh yes, one wish granted. Marsh Umber due in round two. Further to my earlier post, Waddon was £165.00 including the one year club membership-and the rods are correct too. The guy who I dealt with was really charming and helpful.

Morning all! If anyone is visiting Telford they have Waddon on sale-simply join their collector's club and it's yours! Also, ask about any chance of some Stroudley coaches and suitable pre group freight stock in the near future too!!!! I was told ' it is on the radar'! The more of us that tell them or write to them saying 'go for it', the sooner we will get them! Great news. Despite problems, I think Dapol should be commended for what they have done and are doing! The stand was heaving at Telford....and there were examples of the terrier in BR liveries, which look superb plus first metal test shot of the 08. Well done, Dapol. Now, about that D1! Lol.

Crumbs - that is not good! Come on Dapol - everyone has waited long enough for this loco and it is this sort of poor packing/QC issue that will get a lot of people hot under the collar (and rightly so) very quickly. I couldn't see Lenz letting something like this happen with their rolling stock. I've seen a post on the GOG website that Tower are telling people to go and see Dapol at Telford to complain..........hmmmmmmm.

..and then there is LBSCR umber........................

Hi Steve, who runs the little loco company www.littleloco.co.uk , is looking at costings for a J67 and J69, hoping to have them out in 2016. His blog on his website says to 'stay tuned'.

Hi Confused. Not sure if you have seen this thread on the GOG forum - it looks like your wait for something LNER may not be so long? http://www.gauge0guild.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5617&whichpage=3 (It's in the RTR section in case the link fails!) Steve (GOG 21075)

Hi Eric. Many thanks for this info - at least it wasn't me going mad! Yes - that would be great if possible. Just as a by-note, does anybody make carriage transfers in 7mm? The 'Circle' website shows MSC as providing a lot of items, but they seem to have moved out of LBSCR products.Thanks.

Hi Folks. Is edition '0' of the digest still available to see/read somewhere please? I gather there was a really good layout article amongst many other gems, but I can't find it online. Thanks.

Does anyone know if LBSCR Carriage transfers (crest, class numbers etc) are available from anywhere please?

I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks the colour is wrong.I totally agree that it IS too light. Grrrrrrr.

Anyone else have any views re the improved engine green colour? Whilst in NO WAY wishing to 'Dapol bash', the reproductions I have seen look on the light side and not quite 'orange' enough, but I know that reproducing photos can change colour enormously. Any thoughts, folks? It won't stop me from buying one!

Hi. Does anyone have any info on the AnD products Stroudleys or has anyone built any please? Hoping to see some you tube vids of the Terrier running before too long! (And wouldn't it be great to think this may kick off an interest in late Victorian or Edwardian locos and stock.....D1, E class.....rtr wagons and coaches......sigh!)

Gosh - I'm enjoying this thread Peter! I've always loved the 'Brighton line' (and late Victorian/Edwardian trains) and find this all very inspiring. Your comment regarding the colour of the D1 is interesting. I wonder if that is why some of the pictures of the anticipated Dapol terrier look 'wrong' and too yellow? Maybe the 'improved engine green' is a tricky colour to register? Looking forward to seeing the passenger stock. I hope someone is going to produce some RTR passenger stock, given the interest Dapol has - and will - create.

Fabulous and inspiring modelling Mikkel. I look forward to every posting you make here!

Absolutely fabulous modelling and great to see something Edwardian too!
