    Testing is good.

    I would honestly wait on the Oxford model at that point. Save the cab.

    Good to see it can handle more than a prototype with Rapido wagons. I hope they can manage with my gaggle of $5 PO wagons.

    Shouldn't the herring be red? I kid, I kid...
  5. AlfaZagato
    That's an informative concept. How wild is the variety?
  6. AlfaZagato
    Keilkraft, I'd think. @fulton Is it motorized? I was going to try to motor mine.

    I've recently picked up an Oxford road locomotive with intention to make something in line with Blue Circle. No chance to handle the model beforehand since 'Murica, so the solid casting may give me issue.

    Been a minutes since I updated this. Workbench has been almost exclusively Gundams for almost two years. I picked up too many too fast. That, and the fact that I don't paint them means I can rattle them off fairly quick. Current one is called the Gundam Astray Turn Red; From here, it's arms and two frankly ridiculous swords. Should finish in the next couple of days. No work last night, as I had to check my new Booster.

    Mine finally arrived! So far, twelve square and shuffles to-and-fro on a meter of Maerklin K. (Chicago USPS was struggling with consecutive winter storms and sub-0 deg F temps.)

    I live in the US. Still about $6 for two pair of NEM Kadees.
  11. AlfaZagato
    I do not have this issue with Kadees on close coupling stock, which is why I suggested Kadees.
  12. AlfaZagato
    They called those Lombard Haulers. I think there's one restored, either out west or up in Canada.
  13. AlfaZagato
    Kadees will do the trick, too.

    2.3mm/ft is awfully close to English N.
  15. AlfaZagato
    Should fit those psuedo-Lombards with RC gear.

    Long story short on Boxpok vs. BFB; Boxpok were fabricated from individual hollow box spokes, hence the name. Bulleid-Firth-Brown wheels were a disc wheel made from a single flat piece of metal wrapped around the spindle. The inside of the metal was smoothly wrinkled to both accommodate the additional material, and add strength. Lotus 'wobbly web' wheels from the 60's are the same concept.

    Belpaire A1?

    7 mil again?
  20. AlfaZagato
    Now that looks a hefty beast in 7 mil. I sometimes regret not grabbing a Hornby one when those were around. I have been considering grabbing the N scale etches from Worsley. Problem there is getting the chassis.
  21. AlfaZagato
    Not an option for me, being outside Chicago and all.

    In re parcel carriers, I've had luck with DHL of late. Which was my disappointment Hatton's didn't list these, as they're my go-to with having DHL. My bigger issue is when whomever grabs it in the UK hands off to USPS for final delivery. Last package I ordered sat with USPS for a week before finally delivering. Though that was over Christmas... I've not had a lot of issue with Royal Mail other than the inconsistent timeframes in regards to the overseas leg.
  23. AlfaZagato
    Just received shipping notification from KMRC. Let's see how long Royal Mail takes to jump the pond.

    I've always understood GWR to have painted it's freight stock gray down to the solebars. Vans had lead white roofs, that are considered to have faded to gray or black anyways.
  25. AlfaZagato
    Go for it. Would be cool. Especially with Rapido doing an 'I'
