Oh yes, all my diminutive trainspotters on my 4mm footbridge will be straining their eyes to see if they can make out the gaps in the chassis rumbling beneath them.
-
These have been given a date at long last on the Bachmann website - Dec2016/Jan2017. Brilliant.
-
Where's the button for 'snide'?
-
What tin?
-
An LNER/BR N7. Must be one of the largest classes not available rtr.
-
I just had four locos fitted with sound by them for not much more than the price of the decoders/speakers. They offer a really excellent service.
-
Still no word from Hornby on whether their TTS sound version will be the smoke deflector version. On the website they actually ask for questions about particular models, and I've asked this one twice. No reply of course. How do they expect pre-orders for locos when they won't even specify exactly what they're producing? Hopeless.

Bachmann to produce ex LBSC Atlantic H2 Class 4-4-2
Downer replied to Graham_Muz's topic in Bachmann
Seems like only yesterday we were talking about a £100 psychological barrier. -
Those of us waiting for the B12.
-
Or maybe Albert Speer.

An 00 scale model of the dead Turk in Lady Mary's bed.
-
I would second the idea of visiting Alton, which is about 45 minutes from Waterloo. The model shop is excellent - probably the best in the south-east. I have nightmares about it closing.
-
I had a quick glance at two of the BR versions in Gaugemaster's shop today. The thing that struck me was how bad the numbering looks - too yellow and too large - I'm not qualified to comment on the font. That too reminds me of the BR BGs, whose numbers were way over-scale. A simple thing to get right, you might think. Ha.
-
Oh they'll be here just as quickly as the LBSC Atlantic.
-
Pity. I know one was briefly loaned to Kentish Town in the early 50s for working in Somers Town yard, and I had vague notions of employing it on Tottenham & Hampstead line parcels traffic. I know it's my layout, but we all have our own notions of how far we want to stretch reality.
-
They do look great. Were these locos ever used for anything other than shunting?
-
Thanks Paul, but what I'm after is what Hornby are planning for the two upcoming old crest versions, given that their previous old crest model was deflectorless.
-
The two newly announced versions - TTS and weathered - are both early crest. But are they, like the previous early crest example, deflectorless?
-
I must be losing it - I can't see any circles/holes on either the model or the box. Where the blank are they?

30823-32. Stepped bogie tender30833-7 Six-wheeled tender 30838-47 Flat-sided bogie tender Into the 60s, and in preservation, tenders were no doubt swapped around.
-
In Peter Swinger's On Great Eastern Lines there are two photos of Hornby-type 16/3s with the late crest, both at Hunstanton - 62597 in August 1959 and 62516 in the summer of 1958. 62543 retained the old-style valancing.
-
Wonderful array of c1948 parcels vehicles in the blog's first photo, taken, I believe, near Coppermill Junction in East London.
-
A great start! Thanks.
-
Can anyone describe the visual differences (if any) between a J50/2 and J50/3?
-
J50s ran regular turns to Feltham via Gospel Oak and to Hither Green via the Widened Lines. They also turned up at Norwood Junction having travelled via Kew, the West London Line or the Widened Lines. So quite a lot of possibilities south of the river.
