6892 Oakhill Grange

Plagiarist

Real wood?

What harder than building a Mitchell one? Story of course - filling the recess on the cab sides and then accurately cutting one on the tanks is quite a challenge!!!

I am not cancelling my order. Will I get tarred and feathered for this?

Just been reading on the Beeb about the GCR's replacement bridge to join the railway back together. The GCR was described as Britain's only mainline railway! I am disgusted! I think all the residents of Torbay and Dartmouth areas should be writing to their MP to have the BBC's licence revoked so that nice Mr Murdoch can tell us the truth instead. Oakhill Sorry there is a preserved missing from the title and the content.

Hurrah it finally looks like something I could build.

Why has that Hall got lime green wheels? My head is hurting with fear of a duck takeover. PS: I think I am the oldest follower in the Middle East. Any challengers?

The leave campaigner who accosted me in the street two weeks ago promised me a new motion bracket if we were liberated from the tyranny of Brussels. Imagine my disappointment when Nigel Farage announced on TV that pledge was an unfortunate mistake. I feel betrayed

Unfortunately all that made in China stuff just got more expensive as well.

There is NO correct shade of red for a loco. Although Indian red may be considered for small parts of it.

Perhaps on the in side?

I think you are all voting next week on whether to graciously let English possessions across the channel go their own way. Me and the wife have decided to stand aside cos she is a frenchie sympathiser from Scotland. Oakhill

Not by me.

Just as beaut as the prairie

The prairie is beaut in black but the emblem and smokebox plate deffo offend me. Oakhill

Steeper gradients + smaller tank + useless water closet Pacific = Ilfracombe (I'll grant the small prairie a 150 ton stock advantage) Oakhill

Is that number 6892?

Look to the top left of this post. Good name there!

Or the Southwark Bridge Models one.

I do quite like them, but would never own one. Might catch something.

One is an original superheated, long travel valve, taper boilered Swindon marvel and the other is a cheap copy knocked up by a cash strapped factory in the Far East (Kent for those of you whose geography ends at Somerset). Like Hornby at their design clever best they missed a pair of small wheels off at the front but they did add a nice pair of (lack of) outside steam pipe camouflage plates next to the smokebox. At least the impecunious men of Kent did see the light a decade before Donny/Darlo and who knows how long the Midlands may have taken left to themselves. Oak

AA7 please.

Nice but where is the tender.

No it's the one that doesn't have an oil bath or steam reverser.
