I have an old MTK white metal EM1 but that’s probably not going to be much help to you.

Thank you all for your replies, very helpful.

Hi all, were any of the T-stock ever painted red or were they always brown? Thanks, Lee

Now sold out but still some available from Leopold Halling in Austria.

Still in use on the Ebbw Vale branch.

It does indeed. Here’s one I made earlier.

Can anyone suggest a shade of white for LNER coach roofs in 4mm scale, please? Ordinary white looks a bit too bright and clean so I would like something slightly dulled down. I might give it a very light coat of weathering too. I’m putting together a set of Coronation coaches that I’ve had for at least 20 years.

I would certainly be interested in this model.

Thanks, Clive. It appears that Keen Systems have Gresley bogies so I might try them.

Good work, Clive. I’m thinking of doing a similar project. What bogies did you use?

The glazing for the mk1 suburbans is now available. I was there a couple of weeks ago and bought some.

The 0-8-0 Sentinel - is it one of these locos? Photographed at Ebbw Vale Steel Works.

I’ve had no problem with storage in the loft over many years so long as everything is boxed up and kept at floor level. As others have said, temperatures range from freezing to heatwave so don’t be tempted to pile it up as the temperature at head height is considerably higher than at floor level.

I’m very tempted by CC1 in grey and 20001 in blue. They will make a nice addition to my collection of 20003 models (one still under construction).

No. Clearly I’m late to the party…!
