    Really good show and well attended. Layouts, trade and societies all present and excellent. Even Peco EM preproduction samples to be viewed.

    Hi Bjoern, coverage of the last train is also given in ‘Railway Roundabout’ of 1960 or thereabouts. You can access this on YouTube. Hope that helps, Dai

    'Cambrian Street'

    Another option is to use fire lay putty. You can get it in different colours, and benefits from being ready-mixed!

    You are right re rtr models, which is a shame. However, Comet do the three window end and a couple of easy possibilities exist: grab one of the old Grafar Suburban brakes from eNay or swap meet, and just replace the end. Not exactly finescale, but passable. The second possibility is to use a Ratio brake third and do the same. I am not an LMS man, so don’t know whether this latter resembles any prototype, but it looks as if there should have been one!

    Fanbloodytastic!

    Am I right in saying that some Jinties were autofitted for working LMS suburban trains in the area? Not relevant to High Street, but it is your layout: rule 1 and all that.

    But with Humh’s Samantha, you got the impression she would try to satisfy you all the time. Or have I Misread the programme all these years?

    Anybody got a reply to this? I also would like to know the answer re the frog juicers. Cheers, Dai

    Great news. Wakefield area is the best compromise, and I’m glad we’ve made the change.

    Those L&B stations were really handsome, weren’t (aren’t) they?

    Hi Tom, would you tell me where you get the Archer rivet transfers from, please? And what size do you use? Happy Christmas, Dai Davies

    Shall be helping out on Hebble Vale. Looking forward to seeing layouts that don’t seem to get up North.

    Bure Valley Railway in Norfolk s buying from Ffos y fran, having previously used a Russian coal. I think Didcot have done the same?

    Just don’t watch ‘Oh, Mr Porter’ for guidance.

    Sorry if I have missed this, but what did you use for the point rodding? BTW, lovely layout, and look forward to seeing it in the flesh at a show. Dai

    ‘Clifton Down’ sets often contained an intermediate trailer, and you also got them on the Merthyr Abergavenny service with ordinary autocoaches.

    EBay madness

    I’ve got a better set, and mainly completed, and. I am willing to sell it for £1599. Now that’s a snip! Insert smiley here (for some reason my smilies don’t appear on the message once posted!)

    On my layout, the magnets have been cut in half and placed vertically. Strong enough when you ‘hover’ over them, but generally have no effect when you run the train over themEdit: should have said that these are the S&W magnets from Wizard.

    Agree, and also make it easily EM-able

    Are you from Stevenage in Yorkshire?
  23. 88D
    good!

    Without doing the sums, could it be that the 6 and 3 are the wrong way round, ie. 36% saving?
  25. 88D
    Yes, I agree with you bout GWR non-gangwayed stock. The term ‘B set’ is nowadays almost cast in stone as being the only representative of GWR suburban-type stock.
