Level crossing stupidity...
4069 replied to Katier's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Our apologies for the mistake, and thanks for spotting it. The online report has now been corrected. Stuart Johnson RAIB -
How realistic are your models? Photo challenge.

Just the centre portion of the screw coupling on the loco. Otherwise I agree it's perfect. -
The broadside view is clear that it doesn't. http://www.hattons.co.uk/94516/DJ_Models_Dave_Jones_H1414_Class_14xx_0_4_2_1450_in_BR_Lined_green_with_late_crest/StockDetail.aspx

Malmesbury seems to have had 58xxs rather than 48s. Fenton's book has pictures of a freshly overhauled set of 4-wheelers dated 1933, and a reference to new B-sets a year latr. Certainly 58xx + B-set post-war.

The pictures of B12s in RCTS part 2B suggest that LNER livery may have been inconsistent in this respect. The picture of 8573 at Cromer in 1934 in the condition modelled by Hornby appears to show green axle ends and wheel bosses, but it is possible this effect is created by weathering and the vagaries of black and white photography. Other pictures show both black and green axle ends.

If you believe that a Hawksworth County is basically the same as a Saint but with modifications, then yes.

Presumably you're not serious? Comparing a lack of glue on a toy with the processes needed to build a nuclear power station?
-
Better too little glue than too much.

Collett 'Bow Ended' Standard 57' Corridor Stock Coaches for 2016
4069 replied to Graham_Muz's topic in Hornby
The coaches that contain first class compartments are first/third composites. The other ones you refer to are just Thirds. -

Good luck with that- the range didn't include any firsts. And what is a third class composite? -
I disagree, for what they are in terms of detail, finish and fidelity to prototype RTR locomotives now are fantastically cheap.

The arm is also too near the top of the post, making the proportions of the signal wrong. -
Thanks for solving that - I've been (vaguely) wondering what that model was for the last fifty years, and never knew that Trix made an A2, until now
-
Still no sign of ATC gear in the cab.

Level crossing stupidity...

It's a CCTV crossing. If the car had stalled, the train would have been stopped at the protecting signal. No-one was in any danger, but it was still a stupid thing to do. -
Don't forget to change the footplate valance from green to black.

When the real thing looks like a model
4069 replied to Peter Kazmierczak's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
I've never liked using rippled varnish for water. It just doesn't look real. And as for those plastic trees... -
94xx. Boring.

So 6029 has the ATC gear in the cab. Still no explanation as to why it doesn't seem to be in most of the range (ie all of them except 6000 and 6029). Surely Hornby don't think it's a BR 1950s period feature?
-
I've still got the Triang one I was given for Christmas 1963. Why should I want another? Oops, I seem to have pre-ordered one...
-
Since no RTR manufacturer has ever made a GW loco with working valve gear that could fall off, that's hardly surprising. Connecting and coupling rods, though...
-
It's prominent inside the cab window on 6000 (see http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/100251-locomotion-models-announce-d8000-and-king-george-v-models/page-4), but not there on my 6011 and on those that other people have posted pictures of.
-
Is it just King James I that has the ATC gear missing from the cab?
-
A magnificent model. For the first time in RTR, undeniably the Right Shape.

How many Rs in the real Lor®aine?
