Yes it is. TT:120 is 1/10" to 1' (or 1" to 10' if you prefer). If Hornby have put that in the leaflet then someone hasn't proof read it properly.

Thanks, didn't know Triang was back with Oxford.

No, or perhaps the answer to that is 'not yet!' Hornby do have a European TT range through the Arnold brand, so maybe the UK 66 will make its way into the Arnold range as well.

They no longer own the Triang brand name. It was sold off during one their parent company's bankruptcies early 1970's (I think).

This site is very useful for station colours https://www.stationcolours.info/ SER / LC&DR / SE&CR is about half way down this page https://www.stationcolours.info/southern-railway/ Hope this helps Moxy

Those are almost certainly Centre Models kits. Archived link here to the RSH one. Could the other one be a 16" Hunslet? https://www.nnrailway.co.uk/portfolio-items/hunslet-16-0-6-0st-no-1982-ring-haw/ I don't recall there being many kits in the Centre Models range, I remember a KS Victory & possibly a Hunslet 50550 (forerunner of the Austerity). Both kits look well finished, I think you have found a bargain there Gordon.

See this topic Pictures between certain dates were lost in the change of hosting. I notice in one of the links you have mentioned the pictures are missing for me as well. Unless the original poster can upload a replacement, then all the pictures are lost I'm afraid.

If I am trying to work out the size of a building I generally start with the size of the doors. and calculate the scale from that. I have managed to find this picture online, about a quarter of the way down this page https://discover.hubpages.com/art/httpwwwGivernyandtheartoflivingcom There is a woman stood in the doorway of the house. If you assume she is around 5'6" that makes the front door about 8' high and around 3'6" to 4" wide. If you can work out the size of the door on the kit, you should be able to work out what scale the kit is.

You also have to consider what dates the venue have available and/or are willing to hire their premises on a particular date. I have no connection with either Leeds or Wakefield clubs, but I know from being involved with other exhibitions in educational establishments, booking a venue for an entire weekend is often driven by when half term falls and to avoid any clashes with pupils' activities. It may very well be that those were the only dates available at the respective venues, and it's a case of they are on that date or there's no show at all.

According to the DVLA, that reg no. is now on a 2016 Land Rover.

Peters Spares do replacement Lima wheels with gears attached: https://www.petersspares.com/peters-spares-ps77-replacement-lima-large-wheel-gear-on-axle-pk2.ir They also do PS76, which is the small wheel version.

DVLA lists it as 1949, but if it is a Rover 14, the last ones were built in 1948, it was replaced by the Rover 75 model in 1949. Sorry that doesn't really answer your question. It might be 1947/48 built Rover 14, not registered until 1949, or it might be a very early Rover 75. I agree, it's a very nice car, whatever model it is!

Probably Rapido Trains. While they haven't done an RSD-12 as far as I can see, they have done a number of other Alco models. https://rapidotrains.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=1081&q=alco

That's an interesting conundrum. Both of those buses were registered in Lancashire (CK is Preston & HG is Burnley). Given that, as Johann says, they ended up with the late lamented Fishwick's, did those two buses remain the property of Leyland Bus while they running in London?

Morning Rob, It's from this public domain postcard by H Coates & Sons, Wisbech. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wisbech_and_Upwell_Tramway_(postcard).jpg Cheers

I don't think you can identify make & model from a registration number. You can tell where it was registered. https://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/registrations/reg-letters.htm This site gives some lists. OH would be Birmingham, UH would be Cardiff. Can you get a copy of the photo on to RMWeb? I'm sure someone on here would be able to identify it if they could see the photo.

It depends on how your printer calculates it, but a linear reduction (which is the way my Epson printer works) is 62.5% of 00 size. Cheers

If you are looking at 'Art of Compromise,' have a look at Chris Ford's reworking of it in the October 2018 Railway Modeller. Chris makes a few changes to Roy Link's plan, and actually builds it to prove it works.

It's an earlier version. There is some info on GCR building colours about 2/3 of the way down this page. https://www.stationcolours.info/london-north-eastern-railway/

Don't know if the style is right for the Southern pride kit, but Fox Transfers do them https://www.fox-transfers.co.uk/br-british-railways-coach-branding-in-straw-58261

Somewhere between 1976 & 1978. There are other pictures on Flickr of that full yellow end, the earliest I have found so far is 1978.

It's a Union Pacific shop switcher. Someone even made a brass model of it. https://www.brasstrains.com/Classic/Product/Detail/049509/HO-Brass-Model-Train-OMI-1582-2-Overland-UP-Union-Pacific-0-6-0-4407-1950-s-Shop-Switcher It looks like, whatever it started as, they have just added more & more water tanks to it over the years!

It's another yes from me. As others have said, good modelling is good modelling. We can all learn from how others make models. Besides my main interest in UK/Irish narrow gauge, I have a small (but growing!) collection of French & Spanish inspired models as well. I would welcome the occasional non-UK article.
