Apologies for the thread hijack but since some knowledgeable people lurk in these parts, can anyone tell me what these buffers are (I know it looks a bit like a model but its the original build)? The shanks seem to be parallel.

 

2 Rib buffer as per Lanarkshire Models & Supplies type B006, Wagon Buffer 1’6” 2 rib 13” head LMS, BR, unfitted and some fitted wagons.

A mixed set of vans in Southern livery would be most welcome. One D1479 and two D1478s, one in original and one in modified livery.

Has anyone heard anything about the replacement bodies for the A2s Hornby are supposedly making? I've heard nothing for months and had no reply to my emails to Hornby Customer Care requesting an update.

John,

Thanks for the heads up about the two articles. They certainly sound to be well worth a read.

Nigel

Mike, thanks.

I thought 4 was likely, given how close the twins bogies centres are to those of the 61ft 6in stock.

Nigel

Did the 51ft articulated twins with turn-buckle underframes have two sets of truss rods like the standard 51ft coaches or four sets of truss rods like the 61ft 6ins coaches and quad arts?

Thanks

Nigel

Can anyone help identify this wagon kit.

The sides are 62mm long by 24mm high and the overall width is around 30mm. The kit came partly assembled on an OO chassis.

While the wagon has a Hull and Barnsley Railway look it does not match any images or drawings I can find.

Thanks.

Nigel
