  1. Hornby have definitely got the good start on the shunters truck as the Bachmann model won't be out till December at the earliest. Hattons email. We thought you may like to know that an item you have on order with us, has had some information about its release date added or updated. Bachmann Branchline 38-676 GWR Shunters Truck GWR Grey 'Newton Abbott' £10.58 Our latest information from the supplier suggests this item will arrive with us between December 2013 & January 2014 Whilst we are hopeful this information is accurate, manufacturer lead times are frequently prone to be delayed. This information is to be used as a guide only.
  2. I think they're called signal boxes.Yes,the GWR always takes priority. Did you sort the window etches out you wanted.
  3. That will be a beautiful coach when its finished Chris.Watching with interest.
  4. Feeling peckish this afternoon I popped in to Joseph Auld's corner store to treat myself to some saffron cake.I was astonished to find a new line of cake he's now stocking. Plenty to go round if anyone else wants some........
  5. Not my idea,I took inspiration from Mikkel's Farthing blog and he uses characters names from Dickens novels.The skill is remembering who's who when mentioning them on here.
  6. Just been having a pint in the Packhorse Inn and spotted this old photo on the wall of two old dears sat on the up platform from years ago....
  7. I'm surprised Hornby haven't brought out a limited edition wagon to celebrate the birth of Prince George of Cambridge

      Will it be ERm gauge?

  8. I converted a few of my layout photos like you and like yours they convey some character in them and remind me of the old Railway Modeller pictures before the advent of colour.Good work Al.
  9. A few b&w conversions of Sunday's offerings.The Finching sisters wish to thank everyone for their support. Hopefully my anomalies will get well watered later.
  10. I'm impressed by that brickwork on the facade of the Lindo Wing.

      Hah we'll know we have a classless society when the news is read by a bloke in a string vest who announces "she's sprogged"

  12. As I'm technically the Finching sisters guardian I would like to put on record the sisters although they've been depressed of late are not in need of a stay in an asylum.Obviously having just returned from Eastern pastures might ascertain that this might be the case.In the words of Griff Rhys Jones,I am convinced they are of sound mind.I am convinced... They also would like to point out there's other anomalies on this layout that are more important than their sanity. As for the crabs they enjoyed them on a sandwich with a bit of Devonshire salad.More healthier than Mr Aulds pasties.
  13. Yes the Bachmann pannier has stood the test of time well and it bodes well for the new 64xx coming soon.Meanwhile a final few of 3796 coming into the station.I need to get some Churchward style lamp irons for my siphon g hence no tail lamp.Dart are out of stock.
  14. Now wouldn't it be nice to have an Englishman win the open to go with the cricket and Tour de France.

      It would of been nice instead we have an american who was complaining on Thursday the coarse was unfair.

  15. Ah I'm with you all now.I thought it was a nice friendly gesture,something you might not get on the Eastern.
  16. It was a particularly large catch and as its Kingsbridge fair week there was a surplus siphon going spare as nothing else was available. I don't follow.
  17. As you can imagine Alan they meet with my approval beautiful modelling all round and the coach destination is a nice touch.
  18. Its a quiet overcast morning in the South Hams but the silence is shattered by the bark of 8750 class pannier tank 3796 of Newton with its B set and siphon arriving at Brent.One wonders whats in the siphon as there might have been some choice crabs landed at Beesands this morning.The driver was hoping to cheer Minnie Finching up by giving her some.
  19. RIP Mel Smith , a very funny man and with Griff a comedy legend.
