I was thinking of doing 734. but which LBSCR loco should feel the full force of the airbrush? I will have 2 Beattie well tanks to paint at the same time. one is in the goods livery and the other in the passenger livery. Marc

Just managed to pick up a brighton on ebay I now have two in early LBSCR livery unfortunatly one has to be repainted LSWR in the next week which one? Marc

A few more photos Marc

I was driving down the old frog and toad and saw this! Marc

S&D models do a M/W I class loco not built any of their kits so I can't comment on what they are like but I was thinking of getting one for my LSWR layout Marc

I have seen Helston Gas and a sketch of one for Rowe of Camborne but other than that the closest wagons I have found is Gunn of Oakhampton and a square tank from Plymouth. Marc

I'm looking for some infomation on private owner wagons used in Cornwall between 1900 and 1930. There are a few photos of privately owned china clay wagons but I haven't seen any other private owner wagons. does anyone have ant details? MArc

I know he doesn't do many shows these days. but he is doing the GuildEx in Telford next month. Marc

I can understand the HO thing. In my humble opinion the only thing that should 16.5 track at 4mm should be Lake Paden rly which used 4ft track. As your doing HO can I recomend the LNER wagons Vol1 GNR/GCR/GER. lots of drawings of all the goods stock that would have been used on the W&UT. Marc

What scale and period are you looking to do? D&S Models do the coaches in both 4 and 7mm. Connisure kits also do a Y6 in both 4 and 7mm. We do a number of GER wagons in 7mm. Marc

All hale he of the mad hair and stripy jumper Marc

The lack of smoke and steam but short of photoshop you cant do anything about it. Marc

There is a great book one place names which make great railway names. "Rude Britain" by Bob Bailey and Ed Hurst. Top 10 10, Slag lane Haydock Merseyside 9, Shitterton Dorset 8, Back Passage London 7, Fingeringhoe Essex 6, Muff/Magh Northern Ireland 5, Sandy Balls Hampshire 4,Twatt Orkney 3, Bell End West Midlands 2, Minge Lane Upton Severn 1, Cocks Cornwall I choose 24 "Scratchy Bottom" for my LSWR layout Marc

I'm not sure this will stand up in court!

Cant say I have ever seen one. I looked and couldn't find anything other than Iain's book. You might find something on youtube that might help. I have built a number of loco kits and I can see why people are going to "ready to run" that's why we have tried to remove as much brass from our kits. Sorry I can't much more help. Marc

If you want to put wagon variation into an early BR late grouping layout remember that most wagons built by the pre-grouping companies after 1910 would have still been running in in 1950 in a suitably distressed state. Marc

I think I have heard of her does she go by either the name "Anna Bolic" or "Popavalium Anddropov" Marc

Just thought I would add a photo of our latest layout "Scratchy Bottom" with some Furness stock on it.

We took the centre boards of Scratchy Bottom to the LNWR Society's Meeting at the Seven Valley's Museum Kidderminster. We operated with a slight twist as we were asked to run some our Furness Rly stock. Big thanks to Ted and his team for organising the meeting.

Not on a Tuesday as "train don't stop Camborne Tuesday"! Marc

No worries. I presume you would like it at Telford? Marc
