I've gone ahead and taken the chance that the ex-Midlands version in LMS will be corrrect for the late '20s. Placed a pre-order earlier this week. Now for the wait....

Kindest Regards,

Greetings,

Dumb question number...(let's see now)...17...

When planning to do British outline, I didn't expect that I would pick a place (Welshpool) that had joint GWR/LMS service in 1930. (In fact, I didn't even know that until several days ago). I've done a bit of GWR research, but am behind on many of the specifics on the LMS.

Am I correct in saying that the version of the announced Bachmann 4f in LMS livery with Johnson/Deeley tender would be correct for the 1930 date? (I'm aware that the other two announced versions are not correct--by several decades or so).

(I;m sitting here with my credit card in my hand in hopes that the answer is a "yes").

Kindest Regards,

Carl

A very sizeable effort, even by American standards. Nice design and excellent construction. Your attention to detail is obvious and enviable.

Best Wishes--Carl

Hello--I've had great success ordering directly through Walther's. They have a "hobby shop" associated with their site. Microscale (also direct) is great for decals (transfers). On a more local level, I almost exclusively deal with Riverdale Hobbies (Bob Brannen), a merchant with over 30 years of experience operating a "brick and mortar" in this very difficult Atlanta, Georgia market. His contact information is found in the dealer section of both Model Railroader and Railroad Model Craftsman, two magazines which every modeler of North American (USA & Canada) railways should have close at hand.

Best wishes--Carl
