Newbie question, and I haven't read the whole thread to see if it's been asked/answered, but how do you pronounce Ranelagh? Is it Rain-lash? or Rain-lee? Or summat else?

I'll be in Devon on holiday. What atrocious planning!

Although only a small view (from another thread-thanks for the photo), these are the sort of levers I'm after for the sidings, bottom right.

Thanks guys. The lever frame looks interesting, but the individual lever isn't really what I'm looking for.

A King and a Castle, in the same shot, in 0 gauge. Oh man, you've no idea how lucky you are! If they were mine, I could die a happy man!

I have a reason to like 70020 Mercury, but every time I see a picture of a Britannia, real or model, it's never Mercury! No.19 is as close as I've seen!

I noted the price too, compared with r-t-r. Not much of a difference. I also saw the separate chassis, which I thought was priced rather well. Might be useful as a halfway house scratch/kit built wagon.

No problem mate. I thought as it was in the 7mm specific section of the forum I didn't need to put 0 gauge in the title! We sometimes 'assume' based on our own circumstances. I guess you model in 4mm? According to your profile information 'Trying to make people laugh, especially on RMweb....' It's working!

With no pictures for what I'm looking for on the website. Frustrating!

I saw that, FC. A riveted version of 1/108 too. Didn't know Cambrian did 0 gauge. Will have to check them out.

Thanks again Andy. Brass might be beyond my abilities at the moment Adrian, but it might be something to consider in the future.

Yes, except the levers are normally flat (looking a bit like wagon hand brake levers). They could be the basis though. Thank you Andy.

Thanks Ade. What about kits?

I'm in the process of designing a small shunting layout. My initial thoughts involve a main running line in the centre with two or three sidings either side, plus brake van storage etc. Small yards like this often had large white point levers next to them. Is there an 0 gauge, working equivalent? I know it involves the 'hand of god', but I want to use three link couplings too, so my hand becomes the shunter/yardmaster! I remember seeing an article many years ago, where all point control was manual, with hard brass wire running on the surface, through bell cranks and the like. I'd like to have the white levers for sidings and a manual system as described, perhaps with the point rodding running to a signal box, to control the main running line points. Does that make sense? I suppose I'm looking for a prototypical point lever system, minus the interlocking!

Who makes the best r-t-r and kit versions of the ubiquitous 16 ton mineral wagon?

Looking for budget, second hand 0 gauge fine scale track, straights and pointwork. Anything considered although Peco seems most likely to suit. Thanks.

Lovely little video. Did anyone else notice how clanky the Jinty was compared to the hushed tones of the Pannier? Superior Swindon product!

Streamlined? Do you mean "brick-shaped"?

Parents Get Lost? I know someone who works for them still, Mr. Hougham?

All information welcome, Sir Hadyn. (Shouldn't that be Sir Haydn?). Thanks to you and all other respondents for your help. Much appreciated.

I wouldnt want to put you out but a couple of shots of the roof & bonnet top would be brilliant, along with any other detail shots you came up with, especially axle boxes/springs/mounting.

Brilliant, thanks BGJ

Thanks BG John. Looks like one of the bonnet hatches is open. I wonder if anything can be seen in an enlarged photo? Thanks also to Jeremy. Brilliant photos. That driver looks happy with life!

Yes, that's the one Jeremy. Bit of a top view so excellent! Anyone got any more?

No Nigeln. It's the type shown in Jeremy C's post below.
