    Moving day! The new house has a garage with decent modelling space & the potential for a garden railway!

  2. RateTheFreight

    So the Schynige Platte railway is pretty awesome. Already thinking of G Scale garden modelling potential!

      Were the alphorns playing to welcome visitors?

      I blew a horn when we were up there a couple of years back (careful!)

      The cablecar and railway to Murren is a delight and the Brienz-Rothorn simply stunning (on a nice day). Spoilt for choice in that neck of the woods!

    Thinks with all the politics & nuclear threats now has never been a better time to create a model layout based on an idyllic vision of an England of yesteryear.

      Yes, a layout set in the 1980s - er perhaps not...

      If anyone really wanted to base a layout on an idyllic vision - or a fictitious location - they could always try basing it on a place where trains always turn up, possibly even on time.

       

      Well they could ...

      I agree. I'm building a fictious campaign train

    Anyone got a Farish GWR liveried 50007 they'd be willing to part with?

      Put a request in the wanted section, it will get seen longer than on the status updates

    Amateur hour @ Hornby. How basic can it be to ensure the stock you have matches what you've not only sold but taken money for too.

  6. RateTheFreight

    Making a start in 'N'. Looking for guidance; all assistance gratefully recieved.

      Wouldn't you be better off starting a forum topic rather than status updates?

    Finally has his coarse scale, tin plate O gauge up and running!

  8. RateTheFreight

    Has rediscovered his love of coarse scale O gauge!

  9. RateTheFreight

    Finally has his hands on a Hornby 'Imperial Airways' pack. Bostin!

    Project 'retro streamline City of Birmingham' commence! First effort at anything like this, so here's hoping.

      Did you get permission from the museum to alter it from 'final BR form'?

    2. RateTheFreight

      RateTheFreight

      Ha! I sometimes question whether the museum remembers it's even there! A travesty that it's stuck in the corner looking so shabby. A far cry from its glory years.

  11. RateTheFreight

    Following the impulse purchase of a 2BIL, now craves a 1934 5BEL. Anyone know of any associated bargains out there?

  12. RateTheFreight

    (Kenrow's) 2BIL or not 2BIL. That is the question. Decisions decisions.

    1. Stevelewis

      at that low price well worth it! check out the 'new' prices on Hattons list for example!

    2. RateTheFreight

      RateTheFreight

      Wonder why Kenrow have lowered the price? Either way I' m not complaining.

      Rude not to, at that price?!
