If you restrict your modelling time frame to the summer timetable not only can you justify excursions to Porthcawl, or similar destinations, you can also leave the steam heating hoses off! Tim T Modelling Cwm Cynon in EM

You’ve got an absolute star there. Just get her to do some modelling and you might just have another Maggie Gravett Tim T Modelling Cwm Cynon in EM

Chris, what book is that, please? Tim T Modelling Cwm Cynon in EM

Nick, only just seen your question. I saw them mostly at Port Harding on the Natal South Coast and, if I were lucky, on the Umlass Rd to Mid Illovo line. More power to your oiercing saw and soldering iron. Tim T

Also don’t forget the funny hats....... Tim T

If you are really hard up (or a tight fisted Yorkshire pensioner like me) why bother with the plastacard at all? There have been other threads on RMWeb about modelling with card so one can always continue down that road Tim T

Well if yougo on the Accurascale website they’re selling like the proverbial hot cakes! Tim T (who doesn’t want one)

The NR standard calls for the magnet to be placed 183m on the approach to a signal. It does,however, allow for closer spacing based on line speed. The minimum spacing is 4 seconds running time at line speed. Where the signal is on a line that is not fitted with AWS, such as a goods only line, but has a route onto a line that is fitted with AWS then the magnet would be placed at the signal but made inoperative (technically known as “suppressed”) for routes that do not read to the AWS fitted rout Seemples Tim T, nearly one year retired after 43 years of designing this stuff

Good grief! You’ve got into archaeology now. Tim T

It does? How about some reet Yorkshire brass band stuff? Tim T

so has Pete given up on Camford Junction then? Tim T

I did do some research when building my layout Brisbane Road, and found within my modelling period Leyton Orient did thrash Swindon Town and was going to have that as a bit of graffiti on the loco shed wall. As a Swindon Town follower of some forty years at least we can boast that we did beat Arsenal in the League cup Tim T Modelling Cwm Cynon in EM (and soon to leave Wiltshire for Cwm Tawe)

Clive, rememberthe rle that buses never come alone, especially when youare waiting for one! Tim T

Yes, Gibbo, a set ordered this morning! TimT

Nick, how much of the original set of parts is actually in those chassis now? Wonderful work. Tim T, who saw the originals in use in RSA over 40 years ago

Unfortunarelly they do not appear on the CCT website? Tim T Modelling Cwm Cynon in EM

Careful there, putting such images in peoples minds at this time of the evening. It isn’t the watershed yet!Tim T Modelling Cwm Cynon in EM

My memory of travelling in Mk2 coaches in the mid 70’s to mid 80’s on the Western and cross countryworkings is the they didn’t bother to fit the gangway covers at either end. Tim T Modelling Cwm Cynon in EM
