  1. Apologies. I do not mean to cause offence. Your comment is quite sincere, no need to remove. Just having a h-angry moment where blood sugar levels need restoring. All your advice + biscuit being put into action!
  2. These 92s look amazing. WhAt iS haPPeniNG? I oNly uSeD tO Do sTeaM EngINes!!!
  3. The old "make it look bigger if you give it a haircut" routine, eh? Dimension change was to do with design of previous corridor type being carried across to non corridor tender. Aparently 2001's tender tank was manufactured by Metropolitan-Vickers at Trafford Park. One for: https://www.booklaw.co.uk/booklaw-publications/lner-loco-tender-numbering-great-central-group-tender-allocations.html Very intersting articles on the tenders for the A4s, (something so simple as to what had which tender = really complicated!) has some info relevant: https://www.sirnigelgresley.org.uk/mob-tenders.shtml and (search for GROUP STANDARD 5000 GALLONS), some reference to the P2 tender numbers, type etc http://www.doncasterworksrecords.org.uk/Part-38F.html BTW nice job on that paintwork
  4. looking very good! The locomotive that is. The other badger badger, still giving me the heebie jeebies
  5. Thank you for the pictures! Although there is something disturbing about this one... That small man in the red jumper hovering above that gentlebadger, defying gravity - puts me right off...
  6. Hello everybody, Apart from the link below, does anybody know of a searchable index of articles in the Engineering in Miniature magazine? http://itech.net.au/modelengineer/eim_magazine.php Many thanks in advance!
  7. Is it tomorrow yet? If not, anybody seen the keys to this?
  8. It did have steam power involved, just a couple of steps removed!
  9. Gutted I can't get there this year. If anybody reading this who is: going to Warley, has a camera, and is feeling kind, please please take some pictures of the class 89 and post on RMweb. And any other choice yummy-yummy Accurascale goodies. Ta muchly! Hope you folks have a great show!
  10. I don't want to come across as being too forward, but those are some very nice nuts you have there(!)
  11. Well now... https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/class-92-delivery-update
  12. You guys must give your fleet engineers a headache managing engineering changes on all that lot! Modelling modern freight trains is tricky... Is this what they mean by "multiple units"???
  13. @Graham_Muz @Kernow MRC not sure if it is just me, but the web link for the fully lined sound fitted goes to the wrong version: K2305SF GWR Steam Railmotor Dia. O Number 61 Sound Fitted (GWR Fully Lined Chocolate & Cream 1903 - 1908) £299.99 (£289.99 for pre-orders) has this link: https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/79048/K2304SF-GWR-Steam-Railmotor-Diagram-R-number-85-GWR-Crimson-Lake This is the correct link: https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/79049/K2305sf-DJ-Models-GWR-Steam-Railmotor-number-61-in-GWR-Choc-Cream Lovely looking models btw! 👍 16/11/2022: This now appears to be fixed. https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/pg/144/KMRC-Locomotive---GWR-Steam-Railmotor
  14. It should be purple lilac. That is the proper colour of all engines*, even those Great Western ones. Always has been, always will be. Everybody knows this all of the time. *Except Great Eastern engines. Obviously.
  15. How about a pacific? Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Branch Railway's Nellie. Passengers are reminded that they must not be rude to the engines...

  16. Question: has anybody ever fitted a strain gauge on the coupling or used back emf from the motor to allow the digital decoder to measure train load? An application of this would be to vary the output from a sound fitted locomotive so that when it is under load: you get the sound to match. Just an idea...
  17. Thank you. Extra plumbing would be for seperate feed for the injector, I think on RHS on the back of the backhead instead of coming off the central manifold. No worries on the picture.
