  1. I think that photo is slightly overexposed though, which is another source of inaccurate colour representation. Another photo of the same loco at the same event shows a clear difference in colour between the lower band and the thin upper band and large BR logo.
  2. That's a pain. I might end up having to follow your example and use something else within the set, although I was hoping to museum them more flexibly- 1 or 2 coaches in light railway scenarios and all 4 at other times.
  3. My set of Southern livery carriages arrived today. Payment was taken late Thursday evening, dispatched yesterday and arrived today. Just need to fit some kadee couplings now.
  4. Has anyone had trouble with poor running? Mine arrived on Friday and I got round to test running today. Slow speed is particuarly bad (reminds me of something Lima made) - should i perseere with running in or should I simply return it (hopefully in exchange for another)?
  5. I have to say I find the Rails Of Sheffield website pretty flakey - it looks pretty but doesn't seem to work very well. I have agreed to the new price, but now there is no record anywhere on my account of the preorder. I seem to remember similar things with other orders. It's not a good customer experience which means that Rails are a retailer of second choice for me.
  6. This video gives a flavour of Newcourt during WW2 - I'm not sure the non-rail scenes are Newcourt (possibly nearby), but I'm pretty sure the rail and wagon unloading part is.
  7. A really delayed reply but the remaining sections of jointed rail are: Eastern approach to Crediton; Copplestone - Morchard Road; Middle third between Lapford and Eggesford (around Chenson); 3/4 mile west of Chapelton to Barnstaple.
  8. Mine might be on the way from Cambourne. Got a cryptic email saying they've sent me something - just declined to say what it was!
  9. Sadly it looks like another piece of our railway heritage is to be lost. A planning application has been approved to demlish the C&W shed, formerly part of Newton Abbot works, to build an Aldi supermarket. Whilst you have to be realtistic that not everything can be saved, it does seem a bit uneccessary in this case. https://www.devonlive.com/whats-on/shopping/aldi-plans-new-newton-abbot-1238756 There does seem to be an online petition going (for what it's worth). https://www.change.org/p/save-our-shed-save-our-historic-gwr-shed-from-demolition
  10. It'd be nice if Hornby gave some kind of explanation. The near silence at such late notice doesn't inspire confidence.
  11. Are they going to put in a magnet for the down stop Signal at Baldu?
  12. Always think the line down to Coombe Junction looks like a train set with its tight curves and the elevated view you get from Liskaerd Viaduct. Got to go for a ride down there sometime.
  13. I feel your pain. I'm waiting too - Southern livery Birdcages and H Class seems to have been a bad choice in terms of waiting for their arrival. Be nice to know where they are and when they're coming.
