It looks SO good fullstop.

Further to what Martin said, the crossing angle is 8°10'16" (8 degrees, 10 minutes, 16 seconds).

Thanks. What happens about the extra £20 on the subbscription?

What happens to my existing gold membership if I do nothing?

Except you might have read it through a pair of reading glasses, and you might need different glasses when driving, etc.

Yes, and so did I. But it doesn't mean that you can.

Why not call the pub the Lechyd Tavern? I have a superb painting of Glynneath High Street, which shows a chapel surrounded by its graveyard, and the first building next to the graveyard is one of the pubs on the high street. Incidentally, when I visited my grandparents in the 1950s and 1960s, Western Welsh did run a route into Aberdare. Their buses were not as bright red as your one though; that colour was the Red and White colour. And I deffo remember the strange shape of those double windows in the back.

What are those platform lights that work?

You only need to read a nuberplate at whatever distance to pass your test. Once you have passed your test you don't need to take it again unless the judge rules that you must.

I couldn't think of one, but then I saw the picture of the GWR steam railmotor to be released by Kernow, in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future. You could use the power bogie from one of those.

A bit to the north-east of Tonbridge, East Peckham is a bit of a way from Peckham Rye.

Dapol have posted about their OO Gauge O & K Hopper & O Gauge 122 which are on the ship.

Maybe something similar to what was done on Chat Moss?

Question for Hattons: I have pre-ordered a fair number of the SECR coaches, but I would like a reasonable rake of six-wheel thirds in addition, which at the moment with everything else that is being released by all and sundry, and me being a humble pensioner, I can't afford. So, after the first release of these SECR coaches is all sold out, will you be re-issuing them?

No it isn't. As with all new stuff that I have ordered, the question is "will it be delivered before I join the choir celestial?"

How about outside cylinders and Walschaerts valve gear?

I've got a robotic lawn mower. He lives next door.

Perhaps because the ship is longer than the canal is wide.

What was the MRJ show? As I remember them the shows at the Westminster Central Hall were the MRC (Model Railway Club) show.

Sorry I'm so late replying to this: I've been rather sidetracked recently. I you want just a body, have you thought of buying a loco, and selling the chassis to someone else?

Look at the fourth picture.

There seem to be too many wheels not on the rails in these pictures.

So maybe some company that has not been working on it should announce that they are going to produce one. I was thinking of suggesting the Electrostar to them. Me too, for DMUs and EMUs.

My copy of this arrived today. It contains a review of KR Models's GT3, which it notes is already fully sold out and rhetorically asks why it is publishing a review of something that ostensibly can no longer be obtained. Amongst the answers it says that "... KR Models has announced plans for a whole raft of other projects, ... and therefore the specification, performance and finish of the sample ... serves to provide a clear indication of what we might expect from these ... future releases." So, by the same token, why don't they have a review of the ex-GWR 16xx 0-6-0PT being made by Rapido and sold by Kernow on behalf of Model Rail? After all, I would like to know how the ex-GWR 15xx 0-6-0PT which is currently under development by Rapido is likely to perform, which is the reason they used for reviewing the GT3. I know that Railway Modeller and Model Rail are competing publications, but how can Railway Modeller claim to be "at the heart of the hobby" if they deliberately ignore some models like this?

I assume a Kadee No.17 will work just as well.
