  1. I thought so, yes. The most southerly shed at Sheffield Park wasn't being used on this occasion, nor the upstairs of Bessemer Arms.
  2. The vast majority of attendees appeared to be the same as previous years, including Plumpton Green, which is always impressive.
  3. Watching the video below, the intention is for Diagram O11 No 86140 (shown at 01:56) to be modelled rebuilt, thus showing differing levels of fading where the planks have been replaced - just a small observation, something I hadn't picked-up on when the artwork was released back in February.
  4. Regret not, however, Bachmann will be in attendance (at Sheffield Park).
  5. Two further exclusives announced by Derails; one comical and one in the livery of SOMERSET COLLIERIES LTD, Radstock, Somerset.
  6. LB&SCR A1X Class No 32655 works a short pick-up goods from Bramblehurst
  7. Lovely progress. Had you seen that the THE HOBBY SHOP have commissioned a Tilmanstone Colliery seven-plank open? https://hobb-e-mail.com/rapido-967221-tilmanstone-colliery-7-plank-open-wagon-120---exclusive-preview-61674-p.asp ...possibly a little early alongside your rakes of mineral wagons!
  8. Some lovely weathering up the thread (specifically the rust application), but special mention for the editing of this picture - the smoke-effect is perfect and utterly believable. One of the best edits seen on RMweb, in my opinion 👏
  9. Seconded! Albeit just over the county border, The Hobby Shop commision is Tilmanstone Colliery, Kent.
  10. Thanks for sharing, @neilkirby. Using discount code SPRING a further £5.21 (5%) was saved - supposedly this code for sale products expired Monday (13th)! P&P is free over £100.00.
  11. Are you sure Bradley was content just taking photos? 🤔
  12. I've been using those supplied by Bachmann, but close-up photography highlights their depth, so wondered if anyone has a preferred alternative? They're widely produced (Fox Transfers, Phoenix Paints, Roxey Mouldings, etc), hence trying to narrow down the field! Some examples found online have the handle permanently upright, but looking at various photos, they were often hidden behind the disc when in position.
  13. Revival of steam in the Sussex landscape. SE&CR P Class ‘Pioneer II’ is depicted shunting a newly acquired wagon at Great Coles Wood. Despite prolonged exposure to the elements in her previous employ, she was the mainstay of the Nuthatch Line’s initial services, proving to be a reliable and economical performer
  14. Coincidentally, this was alluded to in this morning's January 2023 issue of the Bluebell Times (From Mee to You, page 2).
  15. Very succinctly put, @Patriot87003. On a personal note, I have to say this is entirely relatable and can easily creep beyond the hobby - social media offers so much but usage does need harnessing. I say that as someone that'll sadly sit and scroll aimlessly through Facebook or Instagram (though being aware has meant I'm not as bad as I used to be).

  17. Currently sixty-three items in the Hornby Winter Outlet Sale "with savings of up [to] 30%".
  18. A little while ago I was searching through RMweb for recommended baseboards and eventually ordered a couple of customised modules from Grainge and Hodder - correspondence was quick and despite an oversight (initially only receiving one instead of two), can't fault the service received. Delivery was courtesy of DHL. The modules themselves are great and easily assembled, requiring just a little wood glue which set under the weight of a few books (as per @NeilHB, above).
  19. A minor note, 44-182G has 'WITHYHAM' printed on the front (as per the original release, 44-182).
  20. "I think you're getting into the realms of fantasy here, Jones"...
  21. Their website has since been updated and is now available to pre-order online.
