Whoever built that model spent too much on track and points and not enough on wagons. You can actually see quite a lot of the track Tim T

or even the M4 heading eastwards, it’s also heading away from Swindon! Tim T -
Seems more sucessful than the real thing? I wonder where it is now, 20 years later. Tim T

I’ve noticed our Colonial cousins across the pond often refer to latex glue and paint in their magazines but I’ve never managed to identify it this side of the Atlantic. What do yuo buy? Tim T

No, mine arrived wihout any foreign bodies. They did arrive with two other items ordered from the same seller the following day! Excellent tweezers and, as stated in a post above, the protective sleeves really do stay in place Tim T

I feel sorry for the crew working that mobile prison cell, alhough on reflection a prison cell usually has bigger/more windows! Tim T

Regarding post #576, the sign is now on the wall. SWMBO hasn’t seen the damage to her painting yet! Regards, Tim T

Yse that is definitely South Dock at Swansea. The building to the right of the far side of the bridge is now a pub. The bridge is retracted and locked back as South Dock is now part of Swansea Marina. There is an excellent Sunday market held to the left of the train. Tim T

Does that make you a re-moaner?

For 4mm the wheelbase scales out @ 7’4.5” + 6’ if that is any help? Tim T -

Phil, other people have sold things on RMWeb by listing what they have and asking for PM’s? I have both bought and sold things that way. Give it a try Regards, Tim T -
Apologies if this appears elsewhere in this thread but what is the depth of your baseboard framing? I am about to begin baseboard construction for my first layout for 30 years and have ordered pre-cut 100mm deep plywood for the framing Regards, Tim T

but not if you work in EM (or P4) as you’ve got to change the wheels out so might as well build your own Tim T

The leemurr one can scrub up very well if you put it on a High Level chassis and open out the cab opening properly Tim T
-
Thanks for that, John. so St Thomas's only saw local trains effectively? i really should buy your book! Tim T
-
I know tnis is very off topic but if Cardiff isn’t mentioned is Swansea? St Thomas’s was a Midland Railway outpost in Swansea but did it see any through workings to anywhere? Tim T
-
Can you post a side-on view as that would help identify a possible prototype? TIA, Tim T

On the Serene & Delightful theme, today is my 65th birtday and my son and daughter gave me this:- It’s an actual cast metal sign and the idea was that I hang it in the toilet but, being 16” x 12”, I don’t think the plasterboard will take it

Taff Vale Signal Boxes
timbowilts replied to timbowilts's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
Killybegs, thanks for that. I’ve got several photographs but no dimensions! That is what I am really looking for. Tim T -
For my intended model of Mountain Ash (Oxford Street) I need a model of a small TVR signalbox. Now the Taff Vale fitted its boxes with very distinctive barge boards. My question is has anyone produced these commercially? Alternatively are there any drawings in existence so that I can get some made? I’m working in 1:76 TIA Tim T

You are doing this in 4mm and not 7mm, aren’t you? That level of internal detail is above and beyond the call of duty IMHO Tim T

You could also possibly blame Storm Ealanor for taking out part of the supply network somewhere thus leaving less copper through which to send your electricity? Tim T
