    That’s a shame. Hopefully we’ll hear something from them soon!

    Indeed, £87 in the current market is a steal. I have the sound version on order from Rails for £170. That’s not much more than some manufacturers charge for standard releases.

    Was there any news about this at Ally Pally? Having seen an EP not long ago we should be seeing some decorated versions soon shouldn’t we? Not a nag, just genuinely excited to get mine!
  4. I'm thinking of selling on my OO Gauge NSE era SR/3rd rail stuff if the price is right. PM me if you want to know what might be available.

  5. I'm getting sorely tempted now. If SWMBO asks, what's O Gauge?

      The appeal of O gauge is inversely proportionate to one's eyesight focusing ability.

      O gauge, the best there is.....

      Just keep repeating over and over: "I don't need it, I can't house it, I can't afford it anyway."

      Then it becomes "Its ME or the O gauge..."

  7. I'm probably late to the party, but if the 4-wheelers sell, then I would definitely be interested in a couple of Holden 6-wheelers.
  8. What a long week. Looking forward to having some time to myself tonight. Need to flick through RMWeb and get my modelling mojo back!

      Same here, looking forward to a bit of a break over Easter

  9. I want a Bachman Warship all of a sudden, despite them not falling into either of my main modelling interests. Must stop looking at photos of them in grotty BR blue...

      18th March 2018 minus 20 years = 1st June 1967? Gosh, I'm younger than I thought.

      So are they in style or out of style at the mo'?

  11. More snow! Very pleased.

      Only going to be a light dusting down here.

  12. Damn that DIY list... luckily for me I tend to get out of doing DIY, I'm usually saddled with a good proportion of the household chores instead! Case in point being tonight, only just sat down... And only one child for me. At the moment... Thanks for the kind comment.
  13. Martyn, Big shame that Pott Row is going to the big engine shed in the sky, it's one of my favourite layouts on here and of a subject not usually modelled to boot. If you can find somewhere to dismantle it and store it, do, it's too good a layout to go to the tip! It's been a big inspiration for me to have a crack at something, and to try new techniques and ways of modelling. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
  14. Hi Scott and Steve, Thanks for your interest. Scott, I'm sure I mentioned fiddle yards above, but I'm thinking cassettes. I have devised a crude way of joining them electrically, I just need to build them now! Steve, thanks for the kind comments. As you can probably see, I haven't made any progress recently, and that's down to a few things - things are tight financially, work is busy and I've lost my mojo a little bit, however seeing more interest in Docking Road Junction definitely encourages me to make some more progress on it. Lets see!
  15. Why have I only just discovered Railway Bylines?

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      Perhaps it was hidden under some "Wonderful Flying Scotsman" bookazines? They do tend to get a bit rampant and need culling....

      I've a soft spot for Railway Bylines, but went yesterday to buy this month's copy from the local newsagents and was put off by too many pictures of bridges and signals! Sometimes it's just too eclectic, so I bought Steam Railway instead.

  16. Cracking choice, and they will be doing 67322 to boot! I'll be having one.
  17. I've said it elsewhere on the forum, I'll say it again. A J69? Small, cute, and they wore some colourful liveries in GER Blue both original and BR versions, BR/LNER Apple green, and of course the obligatory LNER/BR Black. And some made it to Scotland too!

    Hornby D16/3

    Thank you Roger, it's very obvious now you've pointed it out.

    Hornby D16/3

    Agreed Tod, I guess you could argue that the differences if restricted to a remembering only job wouldn't be that noticeable. I knew of different valve arrangements on D16/3's, but I can't say I'd noticed concave and convex frames until now. But then the purist in me says that it should be an accurate representation where possible. Decisions decisions!

    Hornby D16/3

    Thanks Gents, sounds like 62614 is off unfortunately. What was the difference in reversing rod, Gilwell?
  21. NXEA!

    Hornby D16/3

    Me again, I have another detailing question for anyone who can advise me. I'm rather taken with Hornby's release of 8900 in Apple Green, however it is out of my time period. Thoughts turned to remembering as either 2614 in post-war condition and Gill Sans font, which it carried into BR days up until November 1949, or as 62614 which stayed in green until 1952. My question is, in BR condition as both 2614/62614, was the lining out on the boiler, tender and frames the same as depicted on 8900? And were there any other differences such as valves which would preclude renumbering? I'd be grateful for an answer if anyone knows.

    Cor, that looks lovely! Can't wait to see decorated samples.

    I might have misunderstood the suggestions in this thread, but I thought the release will be 4-doors in brown? Would be grateful if you could clear this up Charlie!
