    Unreal Alan, you keep going from strength to strength. Have you thought about loco depot/shed lamps from the steam era?
  2. Brocp
    I'm (ever so slowly) building a model of Crewe North in 1947. Since I've picked up a lot of cheap locos of eBay with broken mechanisms etc I'd love to have figures of crews climbing in to/out of locos as for what I'm modelling it's totally realistic and adds to the realism of the model.

    If Alan reads this, is there a chance you might produce steam/diesel crews that are climbing in to/out of locos?

    Did you mean it's accurately sized when compared next to the Duchess model?
  5. Brocp
    I'm interested in what isn't accurate in the new Duchess tooling. Since it's scanned from 46235, which is as original as a late BR Duchess can get, what is inaccurate about it? Also besides the Rebuilt Scot/Pat chimney, the tender isn't exactly spot on either.

    That's awesome mate, You might have to hook me up with your mate, I've got some LMS ideas that I'd love to get drawn up.

    Get Comet etched deflectors as well, they really make a difference to the face of the model.

    Try this Jack it might have an answer, http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html Regarding the HMRS transfers, you're not wrong, the latest batches have been horrible. I've been really struggling with them.

    Maybe try lightly brushing on Klear or something like that Jack? I brush it on to protect transfers, I've never even tried airbrushing it.

    Phoenix paints have the old (i think) Jackson Evans range of detail parts in their range and that has WR Brit deflectors in it.

    Does anyone have a website ir email address for them? Bit hard for me to go to exhibitions as I live in Australia.

    Good to hear Jack, how did you get in touch with branchlines?
  13. Brocp
    Mate I'll start sending you my locos to line out! I don't know what it is by these new HMRS decals are driving me nuts, they simply are no where near as good as they used to be. Ps i hope the roof of the Brighton Belle is going to get a tone-down. Tim Shackleton did an article for Hornby Magazine and his book on weathering them.

    Hi Jack, what bits and peices are you after specifically?
  15. Brocp
    I should commission off you LMS post war lining and numbers. None of the ones available at the moment are right.
  16. Brocp
    They look fantastic Jack, really like the subtle weathering on the Schools. What cream colour did you use for the cab? Looks pretty good to me.

    So Duchess of Hamilton steaming isn't on the agenda? That's a massive disappointment.
  18. Brocp
    Definently looks like it'll be worth the wait.
  19. Brocp
    Top shelf as always mate. With you're level of skill, this will be a great venture for you.
  20. Brocp
    Anyone know if this will be shown in Australia?
  21. Brocp
    Also Simon, any hints at what class will be covered in 16?

    The LMS locomotive profile series was planning a book on them, but we haven't had a new one in a long time, since at least the LMS Journal was cancelled (massive shame)
  23. Brocp
    I've had this problem before, but i did hear from them after a couple of weeks. Perhaps now with the other ranges they have taken on in the last few years, they may be much busier and as it is a part time business, getting around to all emails they receive may be taking longer than usual. I shop with them regularly and John has always been a pleasure to deal with.

    Those wheels with the fake chrome around the rims look hideous. The Crimson Lake locos should have just had Black wheels from the factory. Easy fix at least. I hope Hornby make the speed indicator a spare part for sale, I've got photos of Duchesses with them still attached in the late 40s.
