      I haven't seen the new livery yet - nor can I find any images of it online.

    Does this count as creative?

    Just been told 'railway modelling' can count as a skill for my Duke of Edinburgh, in a good mood.

      I built a Peco Goods Shed for my DofE Bronze Project. That was years ago though.

      I built s small layout for mine, had the owner of the local model shop provide an assessment on it.

      "Excellent work - but could have been even better with a few more expensive bits of scenery or track?"

    Had an e-mail from hattons saying it is expected between September and October 2016

    Looks amazing, what colour did you use for the livery?
  12. cal.n
    I like the look of it, thought they would have named her something Scottish (maybe a castle or a location on the tour) it and given it a nameplate. That tends to look nice and associates it more with being dedicated to the train and more than just a freight loco (like 67004).

    Hi, Is the Tyneside Models 'Wren' stlii available. Can't see it on the website.
  14. cal.n
    Found this on Bachmann USA website, obviously very crude, but it says a gravel weight is used but cannot see where? Presumably no DCC.... Any evidence of a crane wagon like this anywhere in the UK? http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=258_315&products_id=4501

    The Royal Deeside Railway had a 'Wickham Weekend' last year in May, website says the traction for the weekend was only a trolley car and any tickets would give a ride on one. Can't see anything to indicate one this year. http://www.deeside-railway.co.uk/index.html

    On Hatton's Website, they say the BR Maroon one is BR Steam Late Crest (1957-66) UK Rail Era 5 Both Engineers Yellow versions are BR Corporate Blue (1967-71) UK Rail Era 6

    Yes, way beyond me. Would it be possible to add weight under the curvature the roof. A point was also made that cast figures and tools would also help weight if one were to be removed to fit a decoder
  18. cal.n
    Yes, I think the headlight is a dummy. Although I don't think making it work would be impossible, especially if there is enough space for a small decoder underneath the main car.
  19. cal.n
    You could also add more weight if cast figures and tools are used on the interior
  20. cal.n
    Is that an option for a closer coupling? If so, there must be some space (albeit small) in the back of the trolley car to accomodate the coupling for when using the close coupling??
  21. cal.n
    What are the wires from the powered trailer to the main car for, pickups?
