    Are you building this for yourself? If you are, I seem to remember you run EM. Would you have space at OO?

    Can I hazard we go back to discussing the model at hand? There's enough issue taken with Bellerophon so far without keening on KR as a whole. I imagine there's a thread for that already. I'd also not want to see the thread locked, as happened with DJ Models.

    Looks like it will move quite a bit of stock, what with that massive motor.
  4. AlfaZagato
    At least there's the option of changing it now. This isn't the APT.

    I don't think it's so much a problem of clearance for moving parts on the loco. I think it's more an issue with lineside obstacles.

    I hadn't taken a close look this morning when I received my newsletter. Shame to see the update seems a dud. I also now approach this thread with a bag of popcorn.

    Can't make out the name from the pic. The lined green option on the lower left, though, looks to be a very similar lined green to that offered on both the LRS Victory and Rapido's Hunslet.

    Great to hear. I suppose not uncommon. How many people started with a GWR 101, after all?
  9. AlfaZagato
    Could add some rivets to the chassis block in the cab. Not unheard of for a loco to have massive intrusions into a cab.

    I'm happy your pic loaded for me quick. If I had read that without the pic, I may have thought you had named a Toyota!

    I think UK jackshaft drive favored drive to one end or the other, not in the middle. The LMS example above being a noted exception. May want to see if you can swap the last drive axle with the jackshaft?

    Lots of red, then?

    If you take Awdry's other writings, James is supposed to be a L&Y 28 with a stretched frame to accommodate the pilot. That's probably intention, though.
  14. AlfaZagato
    Significantly more complete than Jidenco/FB.
  15. AlfaZagato
    There's a laser-cut kit in N, as well. We're spoilt, now, for CC vans. Though I imagine the Jidenco/FB kit is a bit hard to come by.
  16. AlfaZagato
    You know he'd try...

    I've been spoilt in N with Dapol's B-set. I wish they'd re-run the Prairies; right now I have to justify questions by saying Earl of Dunraven is on the 'running-in' turn with the B-set. Loving the play with the Prairies.

    Didn't someone pick up Cooper Craft again? Might want to keep an eye out.
  19. AlfaZagato
    Regarding the 'Mites,' they look straightforward enough to bash. Underframe kit, scribed basswood, and balsa and nails or pins for the bolsters themselves.
  20. AlfaZagato
    They're such curious beasts. I may seek out a kit for myself, once the backlog is depleted a bit. There will be RTR by then, at the current rates...

    I was going to call this a Monster of a wagon. Then I remembered this is a GWR thread. Didn't realize the bogie coal wagons got so large.
  22. AlfaZagato
    Trix, but yes, the same tooling. I don't need any of that silly third rail. Also, an addendum, I think I had my Dean Goods on the T-Trak in that shot, not the 5600.
  23. AlfaZagato
    Have you made the .stl available? I wouldn't think they would haul much in real life. Only one cylinder. I think the thread we have on such odd locos has some good shots of these in service.

    Personal experience has led me to desire mechanical & chemical bonds for couplings. Heljan's Garrett has a way of showing any weakness in your work! You're the better experience in that, Neil. Just thought I'd share what I've seen.

    Nice cap, @Wickham Green too. I had similar ideas for my continental stock, where our club layout bears catenary. Lima's old Schnabel will get around that layout without issue.
