    an even better replacement is the high level kits DG chassis. Having built both, the high level kit is vastly superior

    Good grief. It is a monthly magazine catering for all scales and abilities. The content varies month by month.

    i recall Iain rice saying that when the 72xx started the long coal train on a gradient, the lights dimmed all across Devon. LOL

    and very free running stock apparently.

    Not having been for several years, i wonder if Pipers Mead is still on display at Pecorama? Probably his best known work and a fitting tribute to a great modeller and one of the hobby's great characters. RIP Allan.

    there a reports of the 43's taking over expresses following engine failures and meeting the scheduled timings. I imagine there would have been plenty of noise on those occasions. Swindon design at its best

    Perhaps towards the end of Western steam. But certainly in GWR days the moguls were highly regarded as maids of all work, undertaking their duties with typical Swindon efficiency.

    unless you are prepared and able to do a LOT of scratchbuilding i would avoid Ace kits like the plague. They are truly dreadful.

    the halls and to a lesser extent, the moguls were heavily route restricted on the Southern due to the width across the cylinders and throw over on curves. Whilst they did regularly work onto SR metals there were many areas they were banned from.

    Absolutely loving the pictures of a back dated LB. Just a thought; before the BR stock returns to your layout, has any consideration been given to doing Grantham the BR years?

    what a lovely scene. Though surely Sidney isnt wearing what look like trainers, in the 1930's?

    passenger stock would not roll away since a full vacuum brake application would have been made, prior to the locomotive uncoupling.

    easiest way would be to phone rails and make your final paymebt. Then you can be certain all is ok

    yes the fire clinkered during the exchanges, because of the Yorkshire coal favoured by the LNER. Had Pendennis bwen allowed to use its designed for Welsh coal, the results would have been even more spectacular

    there was simply no need to do anything with the castles until the second world war. They outperformed everything else in the country. They only suffered when expected to work with inferior coal. If the government hadnt found welsh coal so profitable selling overseas there would have been no need to 'improve' Swindon designs which were years ahead of anything else.

    the tender in question is not a preservation 'new' tender.these were introduced by Collett to pair the 2251's so is a genuine GWR design.
  17. Denbridge
    i believe that this pic shows the loco when it was running with the tender from Collet goods 3205

    oops. The valve gear on the W seems to have re-arranged itself
  19. Denbridge
    even better, use the correct scale lamps from modelu.superb

    mine runs perfectly on my unfinished layout Even in parts of the fiddle yard barred to some of my larger kit built locos.

    Think uou mean the LSWR under Urie

    Nice to see some of Sid Stubbs models. A true craftsman and a lovely man who i always enjoyed meeting.
  23. Denbridge
    Norman Wisenden are still yrading. Their website is full of useful parts etc.
  24. Denbridge
    Theyve been made and are on their way. Why the continued bleating over something that wont be changed is tiresome.
  25. Denbridge
    most have been issued in pre 23 liveries and quickly sell out. I imagine a very high percentage go to collectors rather than modellers.
