For those that don't go on Western Thunder I thought you may like to see my G1 Python P14 model. I also have another one that is around 85% complete as well. They both are mixture of LW casting HIPS detail on the side and ends and 3D printed Brake parts. Any questions just ask. The build is on WT. DaveB

I have just added two articles by John Lewis (with his permission) to my blog site. These are 'Working of Stores Vans in Goods Trains' GWRJ No.58 The GWR Wooden-bodied Covered Goods Wagons. GWRJ Nos, 62/3/6-8 (5) There are 48 pages in total spread over 5 magazines. DaveB https://djb-model-rly-articles.blogspot.com/

Hi all, thank you fro all your comments. I have now been in touch with Brian and have asked for his permission to post some of his RM articles on my blog page. This I'm pleased to say he has said yes. This will be at a later date when I have more time to be at my computer and process the articles. DaveB

Here is a link to my Blog page which has RosiesBoss first ref. MRC November 1964 by R.W.Rush. It is at the bottom of the link. https://djb-model-rly-articles.blogspot.com/2022/11/ DaveB

Hi All, I've recently updated the T.L. Jones articles on GWR 40ft Passenger Stock. The diagram numbers have now been added these are E6 & E7. Clerestory types both Composites & all Thirds. John Lewis has kindly sent me an excel SS covering all the details for these 12 coaches. A PDF is available to download on the Blog page. DaveB

Does anyone have any contact details for Brian Huxley please. He was the author of several articles in the Railway Modeller in the late 70's mainly on GWR wagons and Mink Vans. DaveB

Michael I have a selling and buying accounts and you are correct in that you have have different email addresses for buying and selling. I have 3MRJ’s that aren’t listed so I shall to scan the front covers and upload them with their contents lists. Dave

There is an easy way to look at mine or other peoples magazine lists as follows. 2nd paragraph. I now have it off to a fine art and can list mags at a rate of one every 15secs. I did have problems to start with my password and rang and spoke the the owner of MagEx and he sorted it out very quickly. He did tell me that this is not their main business and are not dependent on selling magazines. Which would explain why he doesn’t always pick up on the phone. Use the link I posted which takes you to all the types of Railway magazines. For mine select model Railway journal and go to issue 6 (this is my first listing) this should be only mine so click on my initials DJB in blue and this will load up all of my magazines I have for sale. The same should also work on anyone’s name. I now have up to issue 135 listed but with gaps. Dave

Hi All A very useful resource for modelling information is in the title above for those who may not have heard of it. I have recently listed over a 100 MRJ magazines ranging from £1.49 to £2.49. At the moment I've only listed issues from 6 to 139, but still have up to issue 235 to add shortly. Here's the Link https://www.magazineexchange.co.uk/cw/model-railway Dave

Maybe I should have said they are Lists only. All the ones underlined are from my magazines, they are not available to others. Sorry about any confusion. Dave

Hi All I've recently added new model railway magazine articles of the big four regions prior to 1948 These are free to download and use for your own purpose. So here's the link. https://djb-model-rly-articles.blogspot.com/

Further to my photos above, the following page from the GWSG Pannier 22 may be of interest. Dave

Hi all, having found out that the ‘Followers’ option is no longer supported I have amended the introduction menu at the top of my Blog page. This now says that anyone who wishes to follow the Bog then email me to the address at the top right of the first page. Dave

I had already gone down that path previously but have sent a further email to see if there is any new developments with getting approval. Thanks anyway😃 Dave

I have added T.L Jones's 'Railways of South Wales - Passenger & Goods Rolling Stock' There are 7 articles with notes and drawings of Passenger Stock and 8 articles also with notes and drawings of Passenger Stock. I have made ever effort to contact T.L Jones’s dependence’s to seek permission to post his articles, this is still being pursued.

For those that would like to view the V2 that Miss Prism refers to is on page 51 of Russell's Coaches part 1. There is an outline drawing with measurements, front, plan & both ends. The brake rodding looks very similar to my post of clasp brakes that I have produced in G1. The N6 is on page 149 but there is no drawing of the underneath of the vehicle. Dave

For anyone who would like to view / download the John Lewis MT Siphon Story you can find it here at the bottom of page 1 and a lot more besides. https://djb-model-rly-articles.blogspot.com/ Dave

Have you got a copy of the Model Trains mag. from January 1982. This has Pt 1 of an article of The Siphon Story by John Lewis and covers all the details of the early 4 wheel Milk trucks. If not PM me for a copy. Dave.
