    Following a mention of the 4mm Backwoods kit I thought that I'd post a photo of mine. The kit fits together very well in this scale and was, I thought, quite an easy build. The brakegear is changed to better represent the arrangement on "William Francis" and the model has both chassis compensated and re-gauged for P4. Alex.

    Good to see Kyle out and about again. Great looking locos, good luck at Tonbridge.

    Didn't have to wait long! More great photos, top class detailing and so much atmosphere, you have caught the feel of urban wasteland perfectly. The buildings are great.

    Great work (as always). The extra depth really pays off, and the night shot is very effective. Looking forward to some more photos. Alex.

    Hello Steve, nice to meet you at the AGM. I can also lay claim to being a past Cavalier (blue) owner. Great models, nice weathering, looking forward to seeing Parkend. Alex.

    It looks to me as if the top set (front and back) of wheels are in line with each other fore and aft but the lower set are not, the bottom non-pulley end wheel seems much closer to the frame. May be worth checking BtoBs and flanges in line fore and aft. It might just be misleading camera angles but worth checking all the same. Alex.

    I understand that there have been a number of posts on the N gauge forum concerning the possibility of producing an EM1/Class 76. If this loco, and/or the EM2/Class 77 were to be considered I'd be interested in two or three. Alex.

    Hi Pete, nice design - love the cutaway train shed. Had you considered reducing the platform width to allow the half relief building to emerge? Alex.
  9. Alex Duckworth
    Another one looking promising! Hope that you are well Pete. Alex.

    Mine arrived this morning, and after a quick look over I'm really impressed with it. I've got absolutely no need or justification for owning one, but ( as with the Garrett) I just couldn't resist it. Alex.

    A relative of Betty Swallocks? Alex.

    great photos Mike, and great modelling too. So realistic. Alex.

    Well done Pete, still hope to see Kyle sometime. Alex.

    And I'd like a 42XX and a 57XX please, Chris. Alex.

    Poor decision

    My Pictroller doesn't seem to like coreless motors either, so I'm looking for an alternative too. Alex.

    Still my favorite micro layout, so atmospheric - that backscene is amazing. Alex.

    Congratulations Richard. Actually, you will find that you look back with fondness to this phase - you have walking and talking yet to come! On the modelling front I'm currently converting a Farish 2MT with one of Nigel's excellent etches, using the Association's new bearings which fit perfectly. Alex.

    Hi Jerry, just finished 235 - great issue, good articles, super layout. Nice work. Alex.

    Hello Phil, enjoyed seeing "Owen's Bridge" on Sunday, also good to meet you. Alex.
  20. Alex Duckworth
    Very nice Pete, lovely Fascia colour - very Norm. Alex.

    Superb model, looks great on the layout. Alex.

    Like Jerry I've never had a problem with superglue or silicone retained motors, either in 2mm or 4mm NG, as he says most of these motors do not have much torque and so are unlikely to tear themselves free. I have, however, just gone slightly crazy and taken out a mortgage for a small Faulhaber and threaded retaining ring so I may soon be basking in securely soldered model engineering respectability. Jerry - nice idea with the one - sided Terrier gearbox, by the way. Alex.

    Hello Simon, glad to hear that you're still around. Alex.
  24. Alex Duckworth
    Possibly an irony deficiency?. Alex.
  25. Alex Duckworth
    Great to see a revived Kyle, hope to see this layout out and about some day. Alex.
