As it’s a Hattons exclusive commission they hold the rights to the product not DJM

The 02 was a Kernow exclusive. I bought my second from Dave last year at Warley from his returns pile.

Whether he is there this year doing something similar I don't know, last year was about promoting the APT I think.

General N class question, when did they first get allocated into Cornwall?

Why not cut the wedge as a concave curve, I think aesthetically it would look better than a straight edge.

Is that blatant free advertising in those images I see - "Layouts by Andy Peters"

So a good morning so far before I have to take the good Lady to the Dentist.

 

The Oil Depot / Canal board is almost done, just the Backscene board to cut and fit later or tomorrow.

 

Not really sure if the Canal is deep enough or wide enough, if not it will be a mucky stream.

 

If it was N gauge then there is lots of space for a canal, but in O it looks like space for a stream to me.

LMS wagons are fine on a Southern railway - many LMS wagons were pooled, there is a term for it which someone will come along with (please).

IIRC Oxford was a place that GW, Southern, LMS and LNER mixed for inter regional services but not as a branchline - maybe something cross London would but again not really a branch line scenario.

Locos - I have a Bachmann C, it's from the wrong part of the Southern for me and my LSWR penchant but I like it and it is a good runner.  My 700 class is also quite a nice runner, T9s run like a dream on a rolling road but get the shudders on track at low speed.

secondhand pre-owned

Pre-loved is the term sellers use now

Does a 32-153A have the amended tender chassis to stop the derailments?

Forget restructuring, AGM's, Discounts etc.

 

Humbrol Matt Black Acrylic Number 33 is back in stock after nearly two years.

 

Maximum of one per customer, no Ebay speculators, orderly queue.

Any discount on RRP if I am mates with someone who knows the chap that cleans the windows at the MMRS.

Gutted, missed the last £11 seat on Cross Country - now had to pay a whopping £14.70 for my trip home.

Will have to eat the pasty without chips this year to recoup my extra expense - I had the seat too but left it too many seconds and some comicon motorbike riding dating person with a toddler got it.

£88 for a sound fitted Radial tank is excellent value or £46 for the ordinary one

We’re all forgetting these trains are almost twice as big and the trains on Kings Moreton.

Are they really laminated paper signs I am seeing there?

Are you on dial up?

10 minutes????

 

I must be using the wrong settings or the wrong coal in the boiler.

 

EDIT = 11.48, and still only 50% done so I have cancelled it and given up.

 

Normally it 5 hours max for a 10 minute Video but it's now been running for 10 Hours so far for only 50% is ridicules.

Are you on dial up?  Actually dial up is faster than this, have you sent it my mail to Silicon Valley 

The only time I look to pay less than the ticket price is at a Toy and Train fair which is effectively a car boot sale to me, oh and the Bachmann stand at Warley.

Other than that i pay what is on the label, if I don't like the price I seek out a cheaper one or don't buy.

The only time perhaps where it might be acceptable is at an exhibition where you have two retailers selling the same item at the show but different prices, you are known to the seller at the higher price and you might ask to price match (within reason) and/or maybe your buying other stuff too.

But to walk into a shop and just ask for discount, I wouldn't be comfortable doing that.

Well a HO gauge 47 would guarantee a market to themselves.

What needs to be considered is the impact of Accurscale on Rapido's UK outline ambitions.

We don't know what their first loco is going to be, the wagons so far suggest something that doesn't burn coal.

They could always do a 25, everyone else has.

Only problem with kettles is that it blows your rationale for Dore End.

It would be unlikely to be a cut back single line terminus on a once through station and your oil siding wouldn't be on its last legs.

I also thought about it. The distance between the fiddle yard and the main baseboard is 70 cm. I tried that with two tables and the space is very convenient to work and operate.

You need to remember that like investments our body size is subject to fluctuation, have you allowed for winter clothes and winter girth.

I love that we're debating the lighting of a ramp that will have very little light when complete and which no one will use or see.

But for what it is worth, if the prototype only had one and it added to the gloom of the station then it needs only one on the model.

Sorry to put a spanner in the works, didn't one release of the SR Olive green have a dodgy tender that was couldn't navigate curves very well without surgery?

Edit, yep http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/19752-Bachmann-n-class-tender-derailing/

I think the Hornby Class 91 and Mk IV’s have sold quite well considering there very basic and to some degree not much improvement over “toy trains” against true models.

With the introduction of the 800’s on the ECML and rundown of the fleet, the Mk IV’s are going to be spread about over the country (awaiting confirmation that they will be used on the Holyhead-Cardiff’s as there disabled compliant) and the rumour of the stock and 91’s on the WCML on the slower Euston-Manchester and Blackpool’s, a modern model of these still might be worth considering.

What are the slower Euston-Manchester services 2 hours 10 rather than 2 hours 8??

It's a premier route on the WCML, why would Virgin drop the Pendolino for a 91 and mk4s

"Network Rail apologise for the late running GBRF special, this is due to it being the wrong kind of electric."

A while ago, Hornby did ask for comments about what people might like to hear from the Van.

I did suggest 'Let me out', is that one of the 29 sounds?

if you start with a shed then you don't get to your long term aim of flowing trains.

Why not start with a large loop plus your passing loops and that has some point work in for later extensions like the yard and shed plus a partial fiddleyard, again with thoughts given to later expansion.

This way you can run the trains and use that as your basis and then add the extra elements as you build your stock.
