Is there a chemist in the house ? All the best Ray

I suspect that Humbrol thinners is not the same formula as Precision. They smell different for a start. I would always use the brand from the maker of the paint. I have been told and believe it to be true that white spirit thins paint by breaking it down. It is not a thinners. A proper thinners is the same solution as the liquid element of the paint in which the pigment is suspended. Don't forget that there were old formula and new formula Humbrol paints and you should not use old formula thinners with new formula paint or vice versa. All the best Ray

I think that Roxey Mouldings do or did a kit for the little steeple cab loco. Ray -
EFE Rail - Winter 2023 Announcements inc. Southern 'Booster'

I recall that Phil Parker modelled that. All the best Ray -
When you say that the paint is not fully dry, did it eventually dry properly ? From experience with Phoenix paints, they can take quite a while to mix properly, maybe twenty minutes or more. Perhaps try mixing the paint again and test it on a piece of primed material and see if the colour changes to that on your wagon. The large tins are the worst, you can end up with arm ache by the time it is fully mixed and dries correctly. All the best Ray

SE&CR Cast bunker/cabside plates
wainwright1 replied to NHY 581's topic in Pre-Grouping - Modelling & Prototype
Bill Bedford does/did etched versions of the ones for the cabsides. Not sure if he did the ones that went on the bunkers or tenders which seem to recall on the Bachmann C class were square shaped. All the best Ray -
Kit Kat van to go with it ....

With all the other Rapido announcements I forgot about these. Have there been any updates ? All the best Ray -
Rails announce SE&CR 16' Covered Goods Wagon
wainwright1 replied to Oliver Rails's topic in Rails of Sheffield
Don't suppose they will run these again. I missed the one in the original Wainwright lead finish, but got the special door and Maunsell versions. All the best Ray -
Don't forget that the code of the rail on the old steel rail will be coarser that the newer nickel silver. Ray

I recall that back in the 1980's there was a shoe repairers in Jamaica Road, Bermondsey called R Soles !!!! By the way, a shoe maker is a cordwainer. (Reminds me of a character in Round the Horne with a similar activity). -
What an excellent range it was. Ray

I wonder if that is the same type of motor that was fitted to the H class. I have three of them and two had to go back to Hornby as the motor was overheating, one of which damaged the loco body. I think that it was due to poor construction of the motor. All the best Ray

Interesting that my observations have not generated any comments. I am sure that if this had been a Hornby model the experts would have been queuing up to tear strips off them. It looks like Dapol have got the black wrong on some of the other versions ? Sounds like the original class 73 livery issues all over again.

I had been contemplating the ROD liveried version of this in khaki livery but disliked the very light 'sand' livery they showed on the pre-production model. I saw somewhere that it was said that the error in the livery had been noted and would be corrected to Khaki for the production model. However, when I saw the model yesterday, it would appear that nothing has been corrected.

I am hoping that they might also do the New Cross Locomotive Depot one as well.

Locomotion & Rails of Sheffield announce SE&CR D Class
wainwright1 replied to AY Mod's topic in Rails of Sheffield
I have a similar problem with the Bachmann/EFE booster loco. I have the one in Southern green. The first one had buffers missing at one end, so went back to the retailer. The second one would run for about four feet, then stop. After a few seconds it would restart, then stop again after another four feet. This happened in both directions and I physically reversed the loco on the track to no avail. I am now on the third one which seems to run ok, but have not had the chance to run it over a wide range of points to see if the bogie slack issues will cause a problem. -
These night scenes are very impressive. Keep up the good work. Ray

Brixton Hill tram depot and its Trams
wainwright1 replied to thirty2a's topic in Trams & Tramway Modelling
Hi Tony. Is that shunter a Fleischmann loco or something similar ? I seem to recall that Blackpool had a shunter like this, now preserved at Crich I think. See you tomorrow. All the best Ray
