I think it is time for another shout for the Lambton Tanks! Just the thing for the NER Hoppers. Also a Q7 would be good or T3 for the NER crowd. Happy Friday!

I got a response late last night, Nova Scotia time, so they will get to you. Those guys seem to burn the midnight oil on a regular basis.

Yes, those songwriters did some great work for the LNER. Gershwin used to be good pals with Gresley and we won't mention Noel Coward!

No problem, it catches me out as well as Accurascale do it as well. Hope to see you at the Windsor show next week.

The price in your basket is $146 not GBP, so more than a couple of pints! But if you want a J27, being sent a Radial won't help.

Thanks Mike, gave it a try and it works a treat! Richard

Has anybody used these? I was trying to attach them to Peco code 75 flat bottom as well as Legacy code 75 and had no success. My eyes are not what they were, but even with glasses the joiners and rail had no desire to go together.

Pink with blue spots 😃

Has there been any news on this project?

Most things are difficult until you try. But some things get easier with practice and some things require a friend. But first you have to try! Now to those Slater's hoppers I put in the attic in 1990!

Use F29 to often and you will find it in the litter tray!

I believe red was used in the North East Coalfield, in particular, Ashington, but at other pits in the North East.

Good old Rumpole, an England that is no more, maybe it never was, but we thought it was.

That was my thoughts, one pre-ordered from the nice people with Scouse accents. Good price as well.

Saving the best until last!!!

The early HAAs have tie bars across the top which make it difficult to produce a load that will just drop in. At least that was my take on comments made after release. This of course would not be a problem for later types. Perhaps some with the early types would be happy to remove the bars, as they wouldn't be seen when a load was carried.

One thing I noticed was the dome to the naked eye was the same colour, but the camera shows a slight variation. Anyway a beautiful model and I'm looking forward to getting power connected to the track.

They knew how to build a wagon in Shildon!

Sorry, last time I spoke with Andy he mentioned he was working on a number of diagrams. Probably best to send him a message, which might move them up the to do list!

Isinglass have been working on bringing out some NER stock for some time. Having built a twin and a comp, I can say even with limited model skills they come out quite nicely.

There used to be a Gentleman who was myopic and would come into W&H every Saturday and stand over the Precision Paints stands and tell whoever was about that the Pre-Grouping was colour was wrong. I always assumed that he would had to have been over 80 to have seen the original in use and what with the variations mentioned above and the memory issue he was talking out of his hat. However, I was never able to discuss the matter over a pint and this, I would think, have made it much more enjoyable.

From what I remember the fish at the Silver Grid in Sunderland didn't need any help on that score.

I have a similar problem in Canada where the courier company charges $20 for the privilege and then tries to charge duty as well.

True but it is only one group of guys who have to receive it and then get it out to us!

Saving the best until last!
