That's a really impressive cab! It has been such a long time, has anyone else forgotten which two they ordered?

I've looked at Winslow a few times, it certainly has appeal, from a modelling standpoint. If you haven't been here, click the link, and there are more station photos at the link at the bottom: http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/w/winslow/index.shtml

Cav's photos are smashing! I traded my DP2 preorder for an 85 in original livery and now can't wait for it to arrive. What a fine model it has turned out to be...
-
This is a Heljan #5205 WESTERN LORD. The body colored valences were in a baggy with body colored buffer beams...
-
There was a shipment a few years back where the factory glued black valences onto the models, an error they caught before delivery. More than one livery in the shipment had this issue. The correctly coloured parts that matched the body were included in the box, but you had to remove the black valences yourself, since the factory left these glued in place. Are the black valences already glued to the model? Check under the foam in the box, hopefully you have just overlooked the body coloured spares...

You really just need to tear it down and give it a good work over, see how the motor runs once you have the gear towers sorted. I didn't care for the motor in my copy, it was noisy...

Thanks, I was trying to use the code, will try harder! By the way your mailbox is full, tried to send you a PM.

Bachmann retooled Modified Hall 2012 - What can we expect?
TheEngineShed replied to 6959's topic in Bachmann
and it is not as if Bachmann hasn't thrown some of the money into new steam models... -
D5512 has the problem. Better separate the body from the chassis while you still can. As the Mazak expands and cracks the body, it can get quite hard to separate the two...

It's hard to see those details at night!

I must have misinterpreted discussions about the general decline of cattle shipped in wagons during the 60s as the end, without considering the exceptions. Thanks for clearing that up. Maybe I will put some cattle in a few of the Bachy wagons...
-
Don't believe BR was still transporting cattle at this late date, the photo is from 1967.
-
So what do you suppose is inside these three cattle wagons? That's a lot of beer, or broccoli for that matter... http://www.flickr.com/photos/52467480@N08/6996894119/in/set-72157629255295712

You are too kind! There are probably a certain percentage of buyers who won't differentiate?

Never got around to an Airfix brake van, was into N scale early on... That said, I have a number of the later Bachy and Hornby vans and I don't fancy trying to cut a door out and reuse it. The glazing is integral forming the wall and door, suitably painted. An etch would make an open door easy, especially if it is open against wall as pictured above on John's Flickr site. You'd only have to paint the door's inside, no color matching of the exterior... I should stay on topic.
-
I do like the brake van with the open door! A useful etch I think, or does someone already produce one in 4mm?
-
How do you tell the difference? All the Bachmann windscreens look thick and reinforced to me...
-
I thought so, if you were to scribe some lines... The last 16T that Bachmann rusted out had different rust patterns on each side, lets hope these follow suit.
-
Not long now, these should prove interesting starting points... http://www.ehattons.com/42787/Bachmann_UK_37_235_Triple_pack_16_Ton_steel_mineral_wagon_BR_grey_weathered_Due_into_stock_betwee/StockDetail.aspx

Post #468 I believe the Swindon Museum will offering D1000 in delivery desert sand.

I've since just found a shot of non cab end of D8408 with HHY, dated April 1967. And I bothered to take a closer look at the shot with the yellow doors, it looks like earlier than the FY era. Probably not off a FY locomotive...
-
I believe that is the theory but I haven't seen any photos of a FY with green doors...
