  1. Just wondering what you think is needed to turn a trainset into a model railway?
  2. Thanks for your prompt reply. In your earlier post you ere concerned about damage to the pcb plugs - i assumed they survived?
  3. Have read this thread and seen the posts about bogies, but I must admit to having difficulty removing the bogie side frames - just can't see how to do it without risking damage - can anyone help me ouit with some pointers/pics please?
  4. A further drawback being the propagation delay along the Reg Air pipe controlling the throttle on the rear loco. Bet that made for some interesting "seat of the pants" driving experiences ?
  5. Is that true? Blue Star MW does (did?) not provide throttle control for locos operating in multiple, that being done by the white 'Reg(ulator) Air' pipe on the buffer beams of MW equipped locomotives.
  6. D6700 was so fitted from new IIRC, whereas the Brush Type 4's weren't. As an aside, I discovered relatively recently that some of the early build 'Peaks' had blue star MW when new but had it removed quite early in their lives, presumbaly Type 4 power (Class 40s excepted) were deemed not to need MW provision.
  7. Those were the services I had in mind - just the wrong train name 🙃
  8. Weren't they part of the 'Land Cruise' (?) trains operated by BR in the sixties/seventies?
  9. Not Wellington 'Street' but the ersatz Leeds City Wellington - see here for more, modelled in much earlier times:
  10. Clearly a rolling stock expert..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GWR-Southern-Couch-00-gauge/374891885745?hash=item57494c34b1:g:ZNQAAOSwMsBkvTNu&amdata=enc:AQAIAAAA4H6RItc7JI+xmPyTHgkE1VVi3W31l2hR6K5HoiOt5AdS08mtHguag3gOUobWUmBSSxIR5B01onItsWDYh4bfMiD81dM7doeVrsMVZQHsD20J+8n34JN7Mo4kqI7njgIVcWpVhW/AkCo7EJHo8vP8YhIsHV2buSnc32EqTUE1+IDIkBOQ9+xWZrQ6pBzhSRK1BqtOTMcNrVPe+YtZVIySKpU79g3X59nfcL6Mm4seuRMkKwHpUCEsvfSznUoGBb1x3UyrwLY+9A/ZnqR5Q8zgd6YX0JDsk80aQrXtpuI0pVqm|tkp:Bk9SR_Sl4vPGYg&pageci=a7b110f8-a138-41e7-be2d-68e11075a96b&redirect=mobile
  11. Why do I keep buying things that I don't need?

      Because you can my dear old thing!!!

  12. Does anyone have a copy of this book which they would part with please? https://www.westernlocomotiveresearchsociety.com/book-vault-our-titles/d1009-western-invader Thanks in advance, Andy.
  13. Yet another reminder! Please post only details of affected models in the format requested in post #1. All posts not of this type will be hidden.
  14. IIRC, plenty of MCOs, HCOs and even some HCPs around South Yorkshire in the '70s.
  15. Given the date, I could well be one of those oiks sitting on the platform barrow in photo ref C3485 🙂
  16. Hi James, You might find this interesting/useful..... https://highlandmiscellany.com/2015/08/15/dinner-time-a-gresley-buffet-for-portchullin/
  17. Polite reminder; this thread is only for advising people about affected models. See post #1 and several reminders along the way. Other posts will be hidden in due course.
  18. If you're at Stafford on the Saturday....... ......hide 🤣
  19. Sadly it seems to be increasingly acceptable that (some) people are given creednace as a result of being upset/offended on behalf of others. Equally sadly it would also appear that those same people are not at the front of the queue when it comes to supporting others. It's a bit like the 'rights and responsibilities' discussion - everyone 'knows their rights' but few seem to acknowledge the responsibilities which go hand in hand with those rights - ho hum!
  20. Just received from Rails and their eBay store..... Enter code BANK15 at checkout to redeem. Hurry, the voucher expires 18/08/2022 at 11:59pm!
  21. I agree. If there are rules around the 'similarity' of images and it is suspected that processes are being applied to images after they have been uploaded, how can the person uploading the image be held responsible for something they have no knowledge of?
  22. The better solution would have been a single operator railway - no favoured train operators then. #justsayin 😀
  23. Polite reminder; this thread is only for advising people about affected models. See post #1 and several reminders along the way 👍
