      OO gauge safety valves doms whistles all the bits you would like brass I think never got round to ordering yet. But I have a pro scale star which needs some bits

      I think you're referring to Springside, possibly. They do have a website, and do own the ProScale range (although that seems to have died).

      Possibly 247 Developments? They do a lot of GWR castings - but are on the web, so maybe not the one you're after.

  4. Do Holford's sell car paints which are a good match for BR Blue & Green found on ex LMS loco's

      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

      which part? the tender behind?

    3. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Nah, it was that incomplete loco section. Farren will need cylinders, valve gear, wheels, and a good deal else besides. And that's before you start on the tender. I did look at that, and thought about it, but if I wanted a 7mm "Duchess", Martin Finney produces a flawless kit for one. Just add wheels/motor/gears.

      Hi Horsetan I may be reading more into it but do you think I may have dropped a clanger

  15. Is Wondering if it's worth painting my Bachmann BR Blue 08 green or just swapping it for a green on if anyone wants one

      I have a green one I'd be willing to swap for blue, PM if interested?

       

  16. Wondering if any modern BO-BO model has the same pivet point and wheel base as a blue pullman. Not counting the Bachmann blue pullman

      Plenty 'Compare' sites on the tinternet surely one would do model railways...

      Cheers for that Horsetan. Had a look on your site its not going to be a straight exchange. Maybe a built to order motor bogie might be a simpler way to go.

       

      At first I didn't think you were being serious with the compare site. Thanks to both of you for your suggestions

      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.
