Not 7F big boy, 8F, but both would work.
-
On the subject of locomotives the Americans had, what about a 7F big boy? I think a 9F big boy would be a bit large.
-
That's what I was thinking

If the British did a cab forward locomotive, I think it would make more sense for it to be like the American one, non streamlined, that way maintenance is easier.

list of decoders (or manufacturers) that work with the Hornby select
Lu4472ke replied to Lu4472ke 's topic in DCC Help & Questions
and also one quick thing i forgot to mention: the list has also got to be compatable with the Bachmann dynamis, as thats what my big layout is running on. -
im building a shunting layout that i plan to use a Hornby select to power it, but are there certain decoders that don't work with the Hornby select?

This bodge is one I did before I set up this thread I was having a lot of problems cleaning my track, as I have some areas that are not easy accessible, so I decided to do something about it. I had a Hornby track cleaning wagon which was not doing a lot. The pads that touched the rails to clean them weren't the best, because they were very thin and didn't have a lot of contact areas with the top of the rail, and looking at other track cleaners like the CSX that has one big pad underneath, I decided to do something like that, the only difference being that it won't have a tank inside and drip fluid onto the pad. Apologies that the picture quality isn't the best, but you should be able to see what I did. The first thing I did was take the old pads out, and this is what I was left with. This was the piece of wood I used, you can see form the picture its too large, so I cut it down. once the piece of wood had been cut down, using my Dremel I cut a big hole in the chassis so the piece of wood could fit. I then did a test fit, and all was well. and this is what it looked like underneath after the glue had dried. Then it went for a test run, and the next hour/half hour consisted of sanding, filing, adding material, taking material off until it was right.

If this is part of the national collection in miniature, does that mean that 66 779 is already part of the national collection?

Welcome to my workbench topic, which mainly consits of me bodging stuff. The first subject of this thread is the honby caley pug,and its monstrosity of a rear coupling, I've never liked It, and because I had a spare Bachmann (screw in type) tension lock coupling lying around doing nothing, I thought I would find a use for it. This is what I started with. You may have already noticed that I have painted the boiler backhead, I am just waitng to find some suitable loco crew figures (suggestions would be greatly appreciated) The first job was to remove the hook, and after some fettling it came out. Then I removed the loop, so out came the dremel. I then removed the mount where the coupling hook sat with some files and a craft knife, it doesn't look the neatest in this picture, but I clean it up later. after some modification, this is what the coupling looked like I then glued it on, and while the glue was still wet, I did a test couple, I don't think I could have got it in a better position! and this is what I ended up with

a few years ago at a model railway exhibition i bought these two wagons, all i know is they are kitbuilt, LNER and painted grey. my question Is: what are they and what would they have been used for? are they missing rooves?

here's something for the wildcard, GER Y14 on the north Norfolk railway, at Sheringham.
-
hopefully its alfred and judy, if it is then they can take my money for the both of them!
-
I'd quite like a retooled terrier, would save me having to track down a second hand Hornby one!

I think british trains not having the yellow panel will make them look european, they've been around since the late 60's, and have been on every livery, atleast they will live on in model form.

When I first visited Hungary the locos there with their yellow panels immediately reminded me of the BR locos of my youth: https://goo.gl/images/QmVKuY
