      coach is on my list of conversions I plan to do this year from a Hornby mk2. if I can work out where they are emitting from could possibly replicate something similar on DCC.

    Well tomorrow is Hornby release day. Heres hoping for LNER IC blue power cars, GBRF 50/60. To be honest after Airfix announced the new tooled 1/72 Vulcan bomber I think there web site will be first port of call tomorrow morning. A re run of the super puma

      I would be really surprised if the class 390 and class 800s did not appear in more liverys but then again who knows. all will become clear tomorrow

    Are Oxford rails still planning to release the triple pack of warwells? mind there being talk of them being cancelled but hattons still show them as available for order. Either way I have at least 8 trumpeter warrior kits on pre order now so trying to find a use for them could prove interesting if the wagons are no longer coming

    1. virginhst539

      virginhst539

      I know the livery is off when compared to the Hattons ones so with a repaint being a must, sticking extras on was not really too much of an issue. Especially when you compared the price of 3 wagons compared to one of the Hattons ones which have now sold out and probably going for a bit more than originally asked. hopefully if they do appear in the future the running issues will have been resolved

    the thought process behind putting mk2 TSO interiors in the Hornby northern belle coaches is still one that confuses me to this day

    Best way to strip paint of a model?

    1. virginhst539

      virginhst539

      Last time I used superstrip was on a Bachmann 20 doing it to DRS 20/3 which revealed a lot of cracks. Not sure if it was from working the body and it was hid under paint or if it was the paint stripper. Have seen a couple of other horror story's along those lines. Needless to say the body was replaced with a PH designs one

      White lightning cider would do it well. I know it stripped me and my mates stomachs in our late teens. Don't think buckfast would clear a body shell with out leaving some form of residue/hangover either!

      Lambrini might well do it. No point wasting something nice like vodka on it

    email from hat tons to say Hornby have canceled the NR 31. fantastic

    1. virginhst539

      virginhst539

      to quote the email "the following item has been canceled from production" and "we are unsure of the specific reason for the cancellation" yet a quick look on the Hornby site for product code R3344 shows estimated delivery dates as 21/07/2015 with the option to pre order

    Don't let the bottom fall out of your world. Try eating a whole bar of sugar free chocolate like me and let the world fall out of your bottom.

      want a good one. read some of the reviews for the 5LB bag of sugar free haribo gummy bears on amazon. seemingly eating 2can have a almost "explosive" effect!
