  1. 1 x BSK 1 x FK 2 x TSO You will need to replace the toilet and adjacent compartment of each TSO with a driving cab and entrance vestible accordingly There is little underfloor detail required on the TSOs and FK - But, a motor/generator unit is fitted under the guard's office on the BSK. Also the guard's office window is deleted on the BSK Then you will need to fit 3 (jail) bars over each passenger entrance, before applying a teak finish livery to each coach This is just the beginning - So, GOOD LUCK! For more info, please see my article in the March 2012 RM ' Hope this helps! :-) P.S.- Don't forget to remove the buffers in between each vehicle within the set, and remove the louvre bits on the toilet windows in the centre coaches!
  2. Yes, Sundown & Sprawling was an inspiration for me as well - Someone who scratchbuilt Diesel locos when few RTR examples were available - I'm also truly flattered that my old Layout, Fisher Street - Victoria Bridge has been mentioned on these pages! So what has inspired me over the years then? - Well No.3 for me was IRON MOULD LANE, by the Bristol East MRC. This inspired my exhibition layout 'Rhydwyn Fawr Steel' - No.2 was City Road LT, a London Underground layout by Tim Stevens - Finally No.1 for me was the LONDON, BRISTOL, & SOUTH WALES RAILWAY by John Jay (RM Aug 69, Sep 70, Jul 73). A 4mm scale Early BR(WR) railway with a four-track mainline section - A wonderful concept, with such prototypical features as Sonning and High Wycombe Cuttings, Severn Tunnel (English Portal) modelled, with other locations being brought to mind such as Paddington, Kensal Green, Reading, Bristol (Old Brunelian Terminus), Patchway, Cardiff, Fishguard, and Landore MPD being represented - I would really like to know if any further articles on this layout were ever published! :-)
  3. Fisher Street - Victoria Bridge! - My old layout from way back in 1985, I'm truly flattered that you chose it as your favourite :-)
  4. 'Afraid not - I lent it someone on the railway who wanted to use it for demonstration purposes. I never got it back. >:-( :-)
  5. ''All done with careful measurements and tight radii (18in) :-)
  6. What on earth did you use for glue? - BTW Have you still got the mag? :-)
  7. Yes, it was never finished in 0 scale - I built the track, pointwork, and signalling in a purpose-built out-building. I also built 2 EM1s, 1 EM2, and 'TOMMY'. The building was soon commandeered for a photographic studio in connection with my then new photographic business, and at the same time my interest in the British Scene 'got up and went' - The next 25 years were spent modelling HAMERSLEY IRON and MOUNT NEWMAN in the garden
  8. Correct - It is indeed me - RHYDWYN FAWR follows the same concept as FISHER STREET/VICTORIA BRIDGE - I rebuilt that layout in 0 scale, complete with a working interlocking signal lever frame (RM Dec1988), before emigrating my modelling to the North-West Australian Iron-Ore scene in the garden - This returned to more obscure British Scenes, such as the London Underground in 00 scale, and now the Steel Industry in 0 scale - I am also starting a permanent indoor 0 scale indoor layout depicting the Bournemouth Electrification in 1967 :-)
  9. I've bashed both a 4 REP and a 3TC in 7mm scale out of Easybuild Kits - You might like to see my article in March 2012 Railway Modeller - If you want to see what I've done in more detail, please let me know :-)
  10. No - But I've built the 1955 E68000 Tyneside Motor Parcels Van in '0' scale! - BTW, is that 'Modern Image'? :-D
  11. Brilliant idea - Just the period then the subject - e.g. '1960s Woodhead' or 'Present Day North-West Australia' - 'Says it all! Just get rid of that misleading and condescending term 'Modern Image' :-)
