    This is some extreme thread drift 🤣
  2. Fair Oak Junction
    Well, I think the bloaters look good.

    Beautiful spinner, but also I love the mogul in the background! 👌
  4. Fair Oak Junction
    Wow, that is looking marvellous! 👌
  5. Fair Oak Junction
    Wonderful shots!
  6. Fair Oak Junction
    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.
  8. Fair Oak Junction
    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.

    A fantastic initiative, well done once again Accurascale!
  15. Fair Oak Junction
    That's excellent news, so pleased to know the range will live on.
  16. Fair Oak Junction
    That's great, really shows off so many of the wonderful details. And the various bits of vegetation are so effective!
  17. Fair Oak Junction
    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/
  23. Fair Oak Junction
    Yep, although not until about 1837 so for the early part of the L&MR chains are still more correct AFAIK.
  24. Fair Oak Junction
    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.

    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! 👍
