We currently do 5 kits for the Furness Railway. Three metropolitan: 1) All 3rd 2) Lug 3rd 3) brake 3rd with lookout Two Ashbury 1) Brake 3rd 2) Composite. They are available in all scales from 3mm to 7mm. See our website www.pregroupingrailways.com

In that case I have to sit there and wait as I've been waiting over 10 months so far.

We adopted our son who's background would make most people cry. 6 years on we have a 9 year old who growing in all positive ways. If you want some honest answers to any of your questions PM me happy to talk. Marc

The annoying thing is I was down in the duchy a fortnight ago but the boss forbid me to go and have a look even though I was less than 5 miles away.

As part of the Scale Four jubilee challenge I'm looking at doing Menyon on the Liskeard and Caradon railway up on Bodmin moor. I have most of the books on the subject but non of the give a clear picture of how the track work is put together. Running lines were bullhead on 2bolt chairs onto granite blocks. But I have no idea what size the blocks were and if points were layed on timbers or blocks if anyone can shed some light on the subject I would be most interested. This is the best photo I could find of a point I don't know the date. Marc

I do a LBSCR small coal office/Goods shed in my building range. It's modelled on one in use on the bluebell. It's available in scales from 2mm to G1. If you got to Pregroupingrailways.com and go to buildings you should find it. Marc

Presuming that was a big hammer and a steel plate then?

Did you crush the slate yourself or did you buy it in pre crushed?

Website still working but I'm still waiting for the stuff I ordered last October. Marc

I have been reducing the floor thickness on the 4mm kits and following a discussion with @WFPettigrew yesterday I'm looking into printing and updated compensation unit for my wagon range so it's easier to fit the more bulky 4mm axle bearings. Marc

I panicked about this as I drove in but I was told it only applies to commercial vehicles and not domestic cars. Day one was quite busy hoping day two is the same. Marc

Had a look for the book prices start at £125

Which one of cliffs books?

That would match what I have seen in the photos. Dead buffers and no cab in the quarry and can and no dead buffers in the port. Just thought there might be a rogue one out there.

I'm presuming the cab is a later addition? Were any of the Alice class ever fitted with a cab in there working lives?
