Watching with interest as I'll be needing this myself after I have built my mill

Rebuidling standard gauge industrial diesel locomotives and collecting figures

has anyone on here ever tried to build one of these kits ? http://cspmodels.com/abante/index.php?rt=product/product&path=65&product_id=119 if so does anyone know the required markits wheels to finish it, also if someone has used a high level kits GB which one happpens to fit, thanks andy

thats completely different to a basic janus inside, the same layout but non of the lights ect

scunthorpe only have signalling at road crossings (driver operated to inform driver when crossing lights are on) and stop boards on mainline connection. only others are for when entering buildings , which the driver must activate building sirens before. there are no other signals on the site appart from the fake signal at the visitor platform. all movements are radio controlled.

Watching with interest

Woop allied wire and stee ftw, so happy with that one

What chassis are you looking to use under the smaller model

I can confirm they are the air intakes with oil filters and they wernt exclusive to the ici ones Reason I know they are the filters is I've fitted some

Some did have hinged lids in the air intakes. But usually this was on both or neither of the bonnets.

And a terrible claim to fame but I sent narrow planet the drawings for the plates lol. Had the first set made for my o gauge janus

Narrow planet does sets for them now

going to be doing this loco myself but as DE2 in the british steel appleby green livery

Hello all. Both me and narrowgaugejordan are looking for United steels logos as used on the locomotives through out the years. And I just wondered if anyone has made some before , and if they could again. Hope someone can help! Plumtree

Thanks Ray. I'll.look into picking up those books . Much appriciated

Which numbers did you use may u ask corbs

Ahh good to here. I keep checking the slag wagons as I want some

I'm looking for pictures of Pilkington glass st Helens in the diesel era if anyone can help. It's only an idea I'm playing with at the moment but i wondered if anyone had any photos. Thanks Gpplumy

Prolly best to point out you mean unites steels company logos

I can't help but feel that something seems off with the buffer beams

Narrow planet can do them

Any news from rt models on these lately

have you ever been to the gainsborough model railway? were always looking for new members to help operate the railway, so if your interested drop me a message or on the facebook page below is a description of the railway , we have pictures on our website but the facebook is updated regularly. hope to see you soon Welcome to Gainsborough Model Railway, we have hand built one of the largest model railways in 'O' gauge, depicting The East Coast Main Line from Kings Cross to Leeds Central. This is no ordinary model railway, but a truly remarkable product of the model makers art. The building of the present railway commenced in 1953, and has now become one of the largest 'O' gauge model railways of its kind in the country. Based on the East Coast Main Line from London Kings Cross to Leeds Central, the railway covers 2500 square feet, has over 1200 feet of main line track and needs ten operators. Come and see authentic replicas of famous locomotives such as Flying Scotsman, Papyrus and Mallard, just three of the numerous locomotives used on this model to haul crack expresses. The West Riding Ltd and The Yorkshire Pullman are two of the many express trains depicted on the railway, along with many more mundane services, express freights, local freights, as well as local passenger services. The period modelled is from the late 1940's to the end of the British rail steam, with acknowledgement of the diesel era. It is in the operation of the railway that we have concentrated our efforts. Operating our railway is more complex than many a real preserved line, and conceivably requires equal operating skills to any real railway, in that the operator not only controls the pointwork and signals, but also is the driver of numerous trains. The jewel in the crown is our model of Kings Cross a magnificent achievement in view of the fine detail incorporated into the model. The passenger station can accommodate ten trains, the track work closely resembles the original , and incorporates some very complicated pointwork. you can now find us on facebook and at our website https://www.facebook.com/gainsboroughmodelrailway/

Apedale will once again be hosting its diesel gala, running most of the home fleet, and some visiting locos in the loco shed will be various things on display including at least one layout hopefully will have more news to follow up with tonight locomotives operational: d558 howard loco lord austin deutz loco tin turtle 44/48 and a mix of other assorted locos visiting Breadbury Stand up hunslet Pilk no 12 layouts and stands attending: St Reatham (009) The hobby goblin

swapped the wires on one of mine today, fairly eays to do just a shame that the wire protection bracket cant be used correctly, i still have the other to do but due to getting it repainted ill leave it to my friend doing the spraying, as far as issues are olivias have had a lot of complaints about loco wobble as its going down the track. mine are still tight in places but dont lock up like my last did the wiring being backwards the printing (both of mine have the printing on the doors one side and bonnets the other as did hornbys mode, so is this a mistake ? either way im still happy with the model overall
