Last time I remember seeing one was in 2003 RWC final

A5, I remember reading about them years ago and thought they were nice looking locos.

You probably remember my thoughts on some RTR notably the Heljan 02. They are more yours than a kit made and painted by someone else. When you are involved with the design and prototype testing you partly made it. If I was in your position I would be proud of it.

Soft pencil on the rubbing edges should help, or as mentioned here a graphite lubricant.

You just put that in and reposted them didn't you?

Just had a look. That was the thing the windows are still full depth. Are they getting shrunk soon? Looks like a job for multiple RMBs.

What is that?

I have heard about a stalled 66 on a bank being rescued by a following 60 with its own train.

We used to call him Mark, was a year older than me. Was also in the school railway club and was a school friend.

That site is run by the son of my old woodwork teacher. I have a pile of photos and............... a pile of photobucket errors.

Steam freights I do like the following 9F especially, have a print done by the late owner of one, but my favourite was in green. 28xx, just a good early design I knew a few owners of an early one. 8F, an improved 28xx like the Black 5 is an improved Hall. I live not too far from SVR so have had numerous trips behind 2857 and 8233/48773. Diesel wise 56s are my favourites but 60s are best.

Unless only one of type. Hence my assertion about 28xx as there were no other 2-8-0s at the time

Mine is Swindon built as well, 9F.

Not in 1903-5 though when the first 28xx was built

I think it will bomb. Why would a PC "master race" gamer want one? Why would someone with PS XBox or Nintendo want one? I see no market.

I do like the Airfix ones, I have a lot of them.

When first built the 28xx was the best freight engine in the country. However it never really changed.

They look good as well

My main DMU routes were from Gloucester to Worcester & Birmingham or Swindon. The fast run was to Swindon and the needle was well past 70. Done a few South Wales routes, AFAIR all 116 with corridors, rode on a last year of 116 with 2 power cars and they were power shifting it rather than the 4 second change 3 second rule. I also remember being on a Tyseley 116 and getting annoyed at the long bench at the end of the car. And also the extra seats in the middle of the trailer. Definately prefered 117 and 118. Very sad how little 116 118 119 120 preserved.

I have seen the rev counter of a DMU buried in the red and the speedo was nearing 90, it felt like it too. Not sure on class, but would have to be 101, 117, 118, 119, or 120

Interesting. My DMU recognition is not bad at all. Seen pictures of GWR 33 38 and GRCW single cars on that branch

Thanks all I know about 123s (the B4 ones),. I found a picture of the "similar to 126 sets" on the line now the GWR. Since I am planning a small layout of around 1960 and that general area to supplement my under contruction blue era, it took my interest. I actually have a 119 and just started collecting info for a 120. May ask Worsely for sides (120 and pre 126), but they may get the windows wrong, Brian did suggest also original Mainline mark 1s. Or would it be worth working out my own etches?

I found a picture a few days ago. Any information which vehicles this were? All I know is first batch Thanks Martin

No more Greencycle then

Same so I skipped it.
