The Skarloey Railway 1942-1960: Scaca Fell Forestry Crossing
Fair Oak Junction replied to Tom F's topic in Layout topics
That is great news! It'll be the first mag I've bought in years but worth it just for that. -
It was in use yes. I watched Erlestoke breeze down Eardington Bank with the set on Saturday, which was nice to see.
-
Quite possibly yes, plus some earlier liveries require incredibly intricate details that would likely require specialists to do. But if it can be done, I feel it should.
-
Oh I agree 100%, I'm not a fan of the rebuilt light pacific being in SR livery. But there are many many MANY locos in preservation currently in BR livery that could accurately be in earlier liveries. The new build Brighton Atlantic is a good example. The condition it's been done in means it can't accurately carry LBSCR livery sadly, but it could carry SR livery which would be preferable over the BR lined black they've chosen to do it in. Thankfully the Patriot Project members voted for LMS Crimson as the first livery.
-
Yes, it's shame that BR livery still has such a strangle hold in the preservation world. I understand people who grew up with it wanting it, but for many of us born long after the steam era it represents the dark times. I'd take grouping and pre-grouping liveries any day over BR.

Oh that's a marvellous shot! I've just got back from Eardington where I managed to spot Erlestoke Manor, Hagley Hall, Fenchurch, and the Mogul. The Mogul was the highlight and the main reason I went, although she was pulling the LNER Teak set that Hagley had taken up just previously.
-
Watchet, definitely. Very nicely situated station right by the harbour, boat museum right next to it, lovely walk along the harbour front, and just along there is the Watchet Museum which has lots of nice stuff including a model of the West Somerset Mineral Railway.

Accurascale – Your Climate Hero
Fair Oak Junction replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
A fantastic initiative, well done once again Accurascale! -
That's excellent news, so pleased to know the range will live on.
-
That's great, really shows off so many of the wonderful details. And the various bits of vegetation are so effective!
-
Marvellous, and always nice to see a bit of Hymek action 👍
-
Nice to see the Malachite Nelson finally break cover FOUR YEARS after being announced!! 🤣 Hornby apparently emulating how Bachmann used to be 😉
-
There is nothing wrong with being proud of what you have achieved. If you can stand back, look at your modelling and think "that looks really good" then you've succeeded! And yes the scenic/background "join" is marvellously done, works perfectly 👌
-
They're in the trees man, they're in the trees! ....sorry, Vietnam flashbacks 😱
-
There's no angle at which this layout doesn't look like a museum quality masterpiece. Genuinely a delight to see each and every photo.
-
There is a photo of it here on Facebook (should be viewable for people without an account): https://www.facebook.com/100064138146122/posts/2990806390988634/
-
Yep, although not until about 1837 so for the early part of the L&MR chains are still more correct AFAIK.
-
I'd say you are better off doing that anyway. The Hornby chain couplings are a nice feature, but don't allow for any play between the stock. A rake feels very rigid. I'm certainly going to be using actual chains between mine so it gives the "pick up" effect as the train moves off.

Class 50, By Accurascale
Fair Oak Junction replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
They look absolutely fantastic, and hopefully will go some way to allaying people's worries about the fit of the removable roof panels. They look perfectly well fitted on these! 👍 -
Michael Edge's workbench
Fair Oak Junction replied to Michael Edge's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
That is going to look fantastic when finished 👍 -
I think it's still a bit early to be worrying about it. We don't know, and we have no way of knowing. Oxford stuff has always been priced very competitively, so until we know for sure I'm certainly going to stay more on the hopeful side. Edit: As proved by the fact the J26s are still at an RRP of £130 (£110 at some retailers) despite global economic factors that have happened since they were first announced.
-
Wow, that moss and puddle area is really effective! Love little details like that 👌
-
Given the popularity of SECR in the hobby, it would be a HUGE missed opportunity if they didn't release one in full lined Wainwright livery which the real ones carried.
