Oh lookey here, it would appear that you've posted a photo of 3820, Zane...

T'would be a shame if I, posted one myself! 

HA!

Do you think you would consider selling your R1 in the future?

G'day Rob,

If I'm ever in the area one year I must make sure to check out the exhibition, looks like a lovely day out.

There was another video of his that showed your motorised Stirling single plus it's rake of coaches. If I recall correctly, it was on the layout that had the live steam Hornby locos.

If the modern Trams were N gauge, they must be either Kato or Tomica trams? Would you happen to have an R class tram at all in your extensive collection?

Regards,

Aaron

I don't know if you know this, but I think your Trams have become Youtube hits thanks to Australian user Leokimvideo!

Video's here is you want to see your trams.

My first K's kit was a 1361, bought for around $110, it wasn't a massive failure, although the "mint" chassis was far from that. My second K's kit is currently being built, the famous GWR 14xx Auto Tank. 

If anyone here is interested, my thread is here:http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/79878-ks-gwr-14xx-auto-tank/. 

Any help is massively appreciated, espicially help concerning mounting the motor, and setting up the pony truck. 

Thanks!

Aaron

Calm down it's just a hobby.

If it is just a hobby, then why do people feel the need to complain when I don't agree with their opinion? 

Would one of these motors:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Susumotor-Lima-motor-replacement-motor-for-the-Pancake-motor-/261312226670?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3cd76c256e fit inside a Lima C38?

Lets keep things civil. There's enough bad stuff going on.

I was being perfectly civil here. If someone is going to make such a big fuss about me disagreeing with their precious opinion, why can't I label it as being/acting childish? 

Looking nice so far, although I do have one suggestion. Rather than using the body of the Hornby 4 wheel coach, perhaps try to hunt down a coach from Bachmann USA's Prussia set. I know they were sold separately, and the body on it would be a much better match for the one in the film.

The Triang Rocket coach body (R621?) is a much better choice, as the coach body in the film looked to be ex LMR.

And did you really have to make such a big fuss about me disagreeing with your opinion? Seems childish to me in all honesty.

Hurrah. I've got my first "Disagree" courtsey of new poster Aarron14xx. (see post No 4). 

 

Perhaps I am wrong when I say that a lot of people have heard good things about the Flying Scotsman but the definition of "Famous" is just that.

So, people or locomotives are famous because people have heard only good things about them? Hmm.

So therefore, people like Adolf Hitler, Stalin etc are good people, because they are "famous"

That may be taking it to the extreme, but it relates to your "definition" well, that a lot of people hear good things about people and that makes them famous.

And BTW,

It's spelt "aaron14xx"

Thanks very much for the kits, they look VERY nice. Can they be upscaled to 00 gauge, as well as N gauge? 

 

I have today received a reply from Hornby, (who also apologised for the delay in replying).

 

They advise that there are no plans at the moment to release a Great Western castle with a Collett tender.

 

I guess this might change with the 2013 and 2014 release schedule(?)

So Hornby aren't releaseing a GWR Castle with the Collett tender, even though thats the tender that most recognised with the Class? Why is this??? They might as well not bother with the Castle!
