  1. Well tonight I looked at my Prairie and even took a before photo. On closer inspection it looked like the fit of the plastic cylinders was too tight on the metal frame and was causing some distortion when mounted. I removed a little material with a file on the plastic cylinder assembly until it sat much more cleanly. not sure if you can see much difference in my before/afters
  2. Mine arrived in NZ, looks fantastic and runs superbly. I have however noticed the slide bars have a distinct downward slope. Plan to correct that by trimming a little material off the motion bracket and a little adjustment. Has anybody else done this yet? Its one of those once you notice it, it always catches your eye moments. Easily fixed, I should add
  3. Hi Rob I would be keen to pick this one up once you come to sell it. I’m in Chch
  4. Any news on the snowplow? looking forward to this one
  5. Surprised not to see any new wagons in this announcement given the amazing quality of new wagonery in recent years from Hornby.
  6. Has anybody else fitted a Lenz Next18 chip and has figured out how to get the flickering effect working given Bachmann have hard wired the LED’s to output A and B rather than C and D?
  7. Have always loved the excellent quality of these publications. I hope the new owners can keep up up the standards set by Irwell
  8. Any news on those lovely looking Gunpowder vans?
  9. Hi guys Thanks for all your efforts in collating all our wishes. Could I suggest adding the BR pig iron 4 wheel wagon for next year. It’s one of the very few Early BR wagons not easily available
  10. Lovely work as always Mick. What did you use for those pesky chains? I need to detail my pair
  11. Would be great if the bolsters themselves where available separately for my fleet of bogie bolster C’s
  12. Have always wanted one, really can’t wait now! Lovely views of the relieving bogie connections on your photo Mike. Very impressive.
  13. Hi Dave I made up one of your excellent WD tender chassis kits. It was my first ever CSB chassis and went together well. What maybe surprising is that I modified it for 00 gauge by taking slices out of key components and then soldered the 2 halves back together. It gets round my 36inch minimum curves a treat. Thanks again Dave
  14. Sorry Phil of course it wasn’t the box. Just getting excited about seeing two of my most anticipated items in one photo!
  15. Any photos from Ally Pally anybody? I spied the box on the bottom of Mr Parker’s photos of the excellent 94xx
  16. I did eventually get a refund from PayPal and brought the Comet kit from Wizard.
  17. Any news of the list yet? Been many months since it was expected
  18. Crecy website now showing 30 Nov as a release date
  19. I paid for a Thompson BZ kit via Paypal back in June this year and dispite numerous emails I still haven't seen it. Michael explained via email that he had some medical issues and wanted to resolve it but with no action. Very disappointing as I love the look of this kit
