The Van is now avalable as a print from shapeways on our shop. I have to add the bench/seat. Marc

The brake looks like either Furness or LNWR. Marc

It would be interesting to find out the origin of the dumb buffered wagon! Marc

With all the music flying around I'm forced to use the Fab Four Filp and head for Abbey Road

from the heart of banking to heart of Government ​Westminster

Which version of the Elan Valley Railway book would you recommend? Mar

So from that they would be great for a industrial/light railway circ 1890-1900 and at a push Cambrian 1888-1900? our Cambrian era is 1900ish Marc

Where did you get your drawings from? Marc

Not sure on original numbers one was used on the Kerry branch for some time. its unusual as it's dumb buffered. There is an other photo of it on the Kerry branch in the first volume of Cambrian Railways Album. If the numbers are low I'm thinking of having them 3D printed as a one piece rather than parts then casting them, so doing one in 4mm won't be difficult. Marc

I think the were sold off to railway contractors about 1900. the photo is of one that had been sold off. They possibly survived in that use for some years. As a kit they will probably come in some where around the £50-£60 mark depending on how many people want them. Marc

I'm building a few of these built for our layout in its Cambrian guise. If there is enough demand I would produce them as either ready to run or as a kit. Is anyone interested? Marc

​using the Rayners Lane reversal should allow Acton Town

We are having a few website issues. It's a PICNIC issue problem in chair not in computer. Marc

Not sure how long the LBSCR ones ran for but both the LMS and GWR gained some at the grouping from both the Furness and the Cambrian respectively. The Furness ones were photographed in 1926, by accident, when the LMS photographed the Furness loco in their new LMS liveries Marc Not sure how long the LBSCR ones ran for but both the LMS and GWR gained some at the grouping from both the Furness and the Cambrian respectively.

Interesting bit about the WCER coach. We do that coach in 7mm. They were an off the shelf design sold by Wright and Son (Metro Cammell) from 1865 to 1880. These coaches were bought by a number of companies. These include LSWR, LBSCR, Furness, Cambrian, LNWR, Manchester and Midford, North British and WCER. Marc

Only having found out the Hornby 00 GWR 101 tank that I had as a child was a real loco. I fancy building one in O gauge. I have done the usual web search an come up with 2 photos, some basic dimensions and a bit of history. So my questions where can I get my hands on some Drawings and some photos? Marc

Beautiful plumage! it looks like its sleeping Marc

Just had a thought I have a drawing of a James Cropper PO wagon I will dig it out If my memory is correct its a 5plk side door only, painted black with white lettering. Marc

Looks like a good plan. The simplex loco still exsists its at Haverthwaite. Marc

I found the diagnosis answered alot of questions that I had been asking myself for some time but I had never managed to find an answer. Good luck Marc

I took these photos this morning at workington show where we won "The Cumberland Bowl" for "Best Model with local interest". Thanks to Phil and his team for a great show and for the prize. Marc

I had my assessment last month. Hard work but eye opening. I was told initially they didn't think I has Asperger's. However when the professionals interviews my wife and my parents the came to the conclusion that I actually had Asperger's. Good luck for Wednesday. Marc
