    Thanks I just dug out RCTS volume 1 as well and no mention in there of this story. But I have read this version of events somewhere.

    They were flangeless initially I believe and some were fitted with flanged centre drivers at a later date Interesting to see if Rapido do both versions

    In One of my books on Highland locomotives it is said that a descendant of David Jones who was present when the first one was delivered stated that it was yellow. Not sure if it was Peter Tatlow or the RCTS books

    Thanks Rob these look amazing. I did go into the shop part and was thinking I need to learn some German Having browsed through these for about 20 minutes I just noticed the British flag at the bottom. Doh

    I imagine there would be a variation in ride height between a full and empty tender and springs will weaken with age. I wonder which is easier, modelling a straight running plate or a bend like that in it.

    This is looking good. I too had a Jidenco one off eBay a while back, I looked at it a few times and finally put it back on eBay. I would be interested for sure

    Were bricks sold by quantity or weight? I would imagine weight of a particular type would be fairly consistent and it is easier to weigh 144 or 1000 bricks than count them.

    The lining on the rusty ones on the previous page does look to be just as ornate if somewhat dirty and rusted.

    The LNWR was big enough to have economies of scale as well which might have made it cost effective to invest in the plant required.

    Hi guys This was prompted by seeing a few Gibson 3F and 4F kits coming up on a certain auction website recently How accurate and how easy to build would you say the Gibson 3F and 4F kits are?
  19. Asterix2012
    Sounds like the kit was updated since the instructions were written?

    Different handrails as well

    Did Tiphook rail not try out a more up to date version in the 80’s or 90’s?

    Absolutely brilliant Rob I for one would find a thread on your techniques very useful.
