    James. The class 31 and 33 are Ok . your mk3's coaches are not correct as these are the HST type. No buffers is one thing so will not be used with a inter city loco.

    Going off topic sort of. When i worked for maidstone & district bus co. They used 2 or 3 different paint makers one was Parsons carn't remember the rest but the shade of green was not the same . Now did BR use different paint makers as well . If so this might explain the problem with southern green.

    going off topic . i would like know if there was a 2bil converted to a sandite, if so this will give me a good reason to have one, as i model in the mid 70's. thanks in advance .

    i have used dot 3 and 4 to remove paint . it is very flammable more so then petrol. when i worked in a garage a few time's car's that had been in a big shunt went up in flames as the brake fluid leaked on the hot exhaust . i get rid of my used fluid with my old engine oil at the tip. best thing to do if useing brake fluid is to use it outside.

    my local model shop only stocks humbrol now. so it's a round trip of 40 miles to get railmatch. now that the post office will not except paint there is no choice. the problem i have is when i need cherry paint for my model buses .

    clive are you going to change the bogies on your deltic ,as the lima one's are HO scale just like there class 50 was. with all that work you have done on the deltic body it would be a shame to have underscale bogies fitted.

  23. crompton 33
