    Very clever. I could just about justify a Lion with such a rig.

    Dapol N Gauge 63xx

    New artwork posted to the traders. Looks like expected Q4 next year.

    I'd have wagered on GBP199, with probably about GBP179 for subscribers early on.

    I'm just happy when disparate makers release strikingly similar liveries. Minimizes the potential for repainting.

    Graphite gradings is probably in line with pencil grading. 'H' grades are harder than 'B' grades. Higher number 'H' is harder, higher number 'B' softer. A regular pencil is usually HB, or right in the middle. I'd probably start there for convenience, then work my way 'up' the 'B' grades. I used a lot of apostrophes there.

    The Temple Meads B-set is how I justify Earl of Dunraven on a minimal T-Trak oval. Wrong road looking good. I'd say right road for me, but I've lived on the former CN&W my whole life, so it's still wrong road!

    That's a big oof right there. I suppose I'll wait for next month, when I'll actually get this month's issue.

    The panto work looks good.

    If you want to see some steam in Blue, some of the younger makes have proposed or actually done so. I think KR did?

    That's what keeps me here! Did you consider trying to cut the existing rods?

    If you need oil stains, mix a bit of black and brown with some gloss, then thin the hell out of it.

    Providential. I know that's a limited connection, but a family connection none-the-less.

    Just what I need, another industrial...

    As someone who is not particularly well-versed in DCC, the few times I've looked into 'chipping' a loco, I've usually seen ESU LokSound chips recommended. Contrarily, I have seen very recent reports (from the Rapido N scale Class 28 thread) that current production chips are suffering from quality-control issues.

    I'd imagine, to some extent. that export locos built to larger loading gauges would have been shipped KD. Then, erected in local shops. Also, ports would have to accommodate the given cargo ships. Admittedly, Liberty ships were designed for versatility. I'd imagine they'd be able to berth and disembark anywhere that took any quantity of international shipping. On the S.160s, what livery options are there? USATC black, then preservation?

    Probably a good match for Rapido. Now, if only I could get Rapido UK shipped direct to me in the US, instead of bouncing through the UK.

    That thing is adorable. All print, or is the chassis a donor?

    Also, a 'dead' driver affects ride and TE differently than an intentional trailing axle. I can't personally say to how, exactly.
  19. AlfaZagato
    Yeah, that sounds right. Sorry for the diversion @checkrail. Any more comings and goings over the weekend?

    Available in N from two different sources, though I don't know if the 3d-printer still does theirs. I forge the name of the outfit. They wouldn't ship to the USA, and that was some 10 years ago!. Other is Osborn's Models own range. @chuffinghell might be coaxed into modeling it...

    https://www.svrwiki.com/GWR_1399_Milk_Brake Decided to look it up. Four ex-Ambulance vans apparently used on milk trains.
  22. AlfaZagato
    Speaking of milk traffic. How about the milk brake? I've seen kits of it a couple of times. I just know nothing about it.
  23. AlfaZagato
    Probably for the best, if that's the case.
  24. AlfaZagato
    What would feasibility on alternate materials to keep inside tons/ft? I mean, aluminum was already a thing, and wooden half- or three-quarters cabs are a possibility.
  25. AlfaZagato
    You have a printer that does white? Lucky man.
