  1. Thanks for posting the German version likewise.
  2. Spot the 16T mineral! https://www.flickr.com/photos/dodger5450/30478248300/
  3. Ullapool, the terminus, as well as Inverlael, the junction, did get sold. So virtually all parts of the Garve and Ullapool railway survive, just separated from now on. Felix
  4. DMU cars in parcels trains were always unpowered trailer cars, that's because the motor cars could propel themselves to the works. For moving unpowered trailer cars parcels trains would have been the most handy thing.
  5. Sad story but will definitively celebrate the farewell with you at the session. I hope the story continues at your new place.

  7. Today I got a mail from Hattons stating that 4D-009-HAT07W is cancelled. That's Original NSE livery with weathering: http://www.hattons.co.uk/stockdetail.aspx?SID=60388 No reason is mentioned.
  8. Excuse me, are these the ICI hoppers or the similar Summers hoppers? I can't tell from a distance and doesn't really know how t distinguish them. Thirty Seven Heaven (Michael McNicholas) by neilh156, auf Flickr According to the description the photo was taken on 30/06/1993 08:50.

  12. Generally warning flashes came first in 1959 on the Great Eastern and spread in 1960 on the whole network. Not sure if this is applicable to each type of wagon though.

  14. Sorry for going Off-Topic but did the number range really only incorporate 5 digit numbers? Of the 16T minerals there have been 600000 as far as I know and to me it seems unlikely that until the early 70s 50000 had been withdrawn, most being only 20 years old by then. I look forward to the Heljan tankers as they conveniently fill a gap. 14T RCH tanks 20s to 40s with examples lasting until early 60s, Bachmann unfitted anchor mounted 40s to early 60s, Heljan vac-fitted anchor mounted early 60s until ? ( I guess mid-80s), Bachmann air-fitted 45t TTA and 100t TEA late 60s until the new millenium, Revolution trains Greenbrier 102t TEA from 2006.
  15. I have seen the Hornby Sentinel handling 10 Bachmann MBAs, a train of over 7ft length, with ease on a dead flat track, so would expect that like always haulage capacity is more dependant of the layout than the loco.
  16. So once again we came together and built a layout out of our British modules. The venue was in a church in Wustermark near Berlin, the capital of Germany. You're welcome! by – FelixM –, auf Flickr Union Jack. Train. Telephone. by – FelixM –, auf Flickr Short on locos by – FelixM –, auf Flickr More photos can be found here including two short videos and even more made by my mate Markus can be found here. There are lots of development plans for the future as well as some anglo-german cooperation in preparation. Regards Felix
  17. Hi, Canadian FREMO member Pierre Oliver has been on this side of the great pond last week and did take part at a FREMO meeting. He wrote down his experiences in his Blog, enjoy: http://elgincarshops.blogspot.de/
  18. May I add the air braked MDW variant to your list – really needed. Your photos are fantastic as always.

    Peco & Piko

    More about German place names in case you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WThm2GSAkh0
  20. FelixM

    Peco & Piko

    Completely agree. The place name where PIKO manufactures is Sonneberg though. "Berg" means hill / mountain, whereas "Burg" means castle / fortress. Both can feature in German place names.

    Peco & Piko

    The German pronounciation of Piko is like the English one of Peco. That sometimes causes confusion, but usually only once. I've heard Englishman pronounciating Piko like pie-ko. In contrast, Germans pronounce Peco like Peh-ko.
  22. That's not completely true. There is one Fremo soul in Ireland, in Kildare.
  23. Somewhere in Southern London by – FelixM –, auf Flickr I am proud to have taken this shot on a fortunately slowly moving train in Southern London last November. I cannot remember where exactly it was but it must have been somewhere in the southeast. I am looking forward for contemorary liveried models of the London area and will buy multiple liveries if offered. Felix
