Ropley Station between 2010 - 2012 as preserved

Good luck in finding out about the wagons, I know when I was doing something similar wagon hunting, I would use past rolling stock books the railway did and chat to c&w lads who normally had a list. -

Thank you for all the help and I have bitten the bullet and bought a pack of couplings and hopefully will fit. As for fitting the chassis I took off the back sand boxes 1st,as there was no front ones on my mainline body. Then I cut off the plastic plank I will call it where you could fit the crew. I left the brake leaver and gear leaver in placed but did filed the bits of plastic around them a bit for them to fit. On the mainline body there are two screw holes for the chassis which I cut and filed to make them flush so the chassis could fit but it is a bit of a tight fit despite a bit more filling. The chassis would stay in place without needing to secure it but I did look at the back to drill a hole into the coal bunker but found the metal weight was under the coal bunker floor and despite drilling the screw would not tighten. So I drilled a small hole in the front chassis screw hole into part of front under the smoke box running plate floor, not a big one and used the screw from the mainline chassis which also hold the coupling in and used that to secure it. There is still a bit of a gap between the body and chassis, so going to put some black tac to hold it. The only other thing to do is put in a new cab floor.

Hi All I bought off Ebay a Bachmann 56xx chassis as a replacement for mainline chassis which has burnt out. The only problem is to find couplings to fit in the chassis as Bachmann has stopped selling the one that should fit the chassis for a new ones but I am unable to find any info on which ones they should be. Can anyone help me please?

Help with ratio lms signal kits
kingfisher9147 replied to kingfisher9147's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
The part I'm having trouble with is the part where the two brass wire is join through the signals to the signals. I can't make out the parts clearly and which part of the kit they are from. As they are not numbered. If someone could highlight them on the photo of the parts. -
Hi all, I wonder if someone could help me with building ratio Lms signal kits. The one I am trying to build is the junction signal fig 3. I have done a Google search but unable to find a picture to help. Thanks mike

Hi all, I have got a a Hornby mk2 D Bso brake coach R4464 in swallow /executive livery. One thing I have notice and I think it a error on Hornby part as I have been unable to find a real photo of the coach. What I think is wrong with the coach is on two of the doors is emergency only and the other guard on one side of the coach but on the other side there is nothing also I think the door which say emergency only is supposed to be the guards door. Does anyone know if this just a error or was like it in real life? Thanks mike

Swansea traffic types. (not coal)
kingfisher9147 replied to Richard_A's topic in UK Prototype Questions
I know when I was helping out with a project of Swansea south docks. I know a fair bit of military items went through the docks, road transport like car etc as imports and exports, metals from ImI which was part of IcI, lew of the L&B left Swansea for Brazil, a funnel for TR was dropped off when their no4 trying out the Gisele funnels. Swansea did have some railway builders and might have sent stuff through the docks. Meat, flour, animal's, clothing items and materials, beer, wine spirits. Mike
