Thanks Robert,

 

I assume a J69 was included with the J67 and J69? It fits the profile well - Pre-Grouping, Grouping, BR and Preservation. 

 

Regards,

 

Tony. 

I think that a J69 will appear, now I have started this one.

Precision Decals do the window signs http://www.precisionlabels.com/d10.html?

Surely they should be the same, the track centre distances, whatever the gauge? The scale doesn’t alter, nor the size of the rolling stock, so the structure standards and all else should be identical. What am I missing?

As you tighten the radius , the track centres have to move out.

I built an LMS 1 plank wagon from an ABS kit, the ex GN wagon is my first scratchbuild. Do you have a sideline selling coal?

Regards Tony.

It's running as an auto.

I went to the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway yesterday, and they were running an autocoach. The driver told me that the coach will be there for a year.

I have had a go at lining my N7. I used Fox Transfers, although I think the lining may be a bit too thick.

Here is my N5, I made my own roof as this loco had a small raised ventilator on it.

There is an article in British Railway Journal no11, G.E.R. Carriages in Crimson Lake by John Watling which states that Crimson was used from 1919. It goes on to describe the paint finish in LNER days.

Regards Tony. 

This signal was at Race Course siding, between Derby Friargate and Breadsall. Apparently the signal arms were removed when there was no racing.

 Regards Tony.

These barrels are standing up, I don't know if they are full or not.

Tony,

I have altered my wagon to 1935 condition. It  now has lifting link brake gear cobbled together from a mainly trains etch.  Tony.

I have found the answer to my question. https://hmrs.org.uk/photographs/10t-4-plank-open-lne-508132-xgc-unidloc-1935-side.html.  

the brake levers are now right handed on both sides.

Tony.

Thanks for your replies. I reread the instruction and the brakes were on one side only[easy to adjust], although there are two sets provided. I think I will leave it with handed brake levers, it will be in LNER livery.

Tony.
