    Has anyone built the LRM, BARTON WRIGHT 0-6-0? I’ve sent a email to pay by PayPal, just wondering how others got on with the kit

      There have been a couple of threads on the class 23

       

      Some drawings appeared on this thread

      There is then a building thread from about half way down page 33 here

       

      There are loads of pictures on the web of this class. 

       

      Look forward to seeing your progress.

      my first big boys bike was a CBF600S, similar motor to the CBR but with a heavier steel frame, great in traffic but dull on the open road. I always fancied the 900cc Hornet with the twin exhausts but instead moved on to the VFR750 which was a great all rounder

      The VFR engine is possible the most stupendous power unit ever put in a motorcycle. Ubfortunately, the one I had was an early model with a single-headlight that was so bad the bike was unrideable at night.

      The vicious rumour about students spending their lives in the pub is just that - a vicious rumour.

       

      That is, unless they're working there 25 hours every day - how else can they afford the fees?

       

      Anyway, best of luck with your studies and your future career.

    Who's seen the new part work. Back to the future car. It states "its" the most famous time machine! Here's my question which is more famous. The Back to the Future, Delorean or Dr who's tardis?

      Probably more satisfying to have a full-size De Lorean.

    Wondering why no matter what topic I open at a set page the 1st page opens even high numbered page the screen resets and opens on page 1to3.

      Click on the dot or the star to the left of the title rather than the title.

      I normally zoom in on the page number probably last. BBt just takes me to page 1.

      Thought the Comet ones were for the Caprotti Loco's though so I could be wrong? Were the tender bearings the same?

    3. cb900f

      Some non caprotti locos were fitted with roller bearings on the tenders

      Pic of 44766 in Stanier locos by A J Powell clearly showing roller bearing tender axle boxes.

    Is really starting to think IF buying a cheap lms Bachmann compound and re line to BR was such a good idea after all!
