Blackpool, Preston and Fleetwood Loco Stock
Markwj replied to MoarCrossovers's topic in Railways of the North West in 50s/60s
There are also I think 4 or 5 scenes from the past books which cover mainly 50’s and 60’s trains which have some pictures of the sheds requested by the OP. -
TV Shows / Films That Nobody Else Seems to Remember?!
Markwj replied to Ray Von's topic in Wheeltappers
Didn’t this have trams or a tram in it - if not I am thinking of something else! -
Which Heljan thread was that? I remember Dave Jones having a fit when people pointed out faults on the Dapol western when he worked there but don’t recall it in a Heljan thread. Not saying it’s not there just haven’t spotted it!

My cat Aldi (we didn’t name her she was found in a carrier bag with her brother named Lidl). Affectionate and definitely a lap cat with no interest in trains or layouts at all!

Just received one of the 2nd hand ones from the hattons site, described as a wobbly runner and it really is but at £105 I don’t mind ripping out the axle covers cutting them down and glueing back on to stop the wobble. It’s one of the large logo ones so saves me buying one of the Bachmann ones and cheaper too!
-
Is it nominated in the kit built category? Asking for a friend!
-
Thank you for the insight and good luck you are doing a great job.

Snapping up all this talent and experience left right and centre! It will be Dave Jones next! Sorry someone was going to say it!

Do they have a dcc socket? Looking on the hattons site it suggests not.
-
Thank you most helpful mark
-
Thanks I guess there will be quite a bit of sideplay in the wheelsets then. It sure is one ugly looking loco but each to their own I guess
-
Sorry don’t know anything about this loco but looking at the coupled wheels in the centre how does it go round tight model railway curves? sorry if I have missed this somewhere else. thanks
-
Ah thank you yes hadn’t looked for a little while if I had and realised it was the same price as eBay would have bought direct to save them the eBay fee! cheers

Bachmann class 37 dB Schenker £125 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-32-381L-OO-Class-37-37419-DB-Schenker-Limited-edition-CLEARANCE trains4u limited edition although curiously costs more on their website cheaper via eBay

It was the world won’t stop spinning comment in your previous post which makes it appear you are belittling the concerns / complaints raised.
-
Just because it’s not important to you doesn’t make it a minor issue to someone else and the criticism is valid. Hornby have made some great coaches and gone to great lengths to get the interiors correct so it’s disappointing when it is wrong. Why should we have to spend with the 3D designers when Hornby could have got it right from the start? They have managed it before!

There was one in an episode of frost but it belonged to one of the victims rather than the murderer. Frost made a comment he always wanted one but never had the time.

Good point about the Heljan 76/77 and also how about the Heljan western as a competitor to the Dapol version. I was also wondering what other tooling was lying around and could be used. Gate stock has also been mentioned. How about motorising some of the efe trams? Cheers mark
-
Mine came today certificate number 3163 (I think have put it away now)! It was late into the night when I ordered.
-
I didn’t get it and then I was on the rails website ordering some wagons and realised they have totally opened up the market for these models and they are suddenly much more visible to a wider audience! In particular the Kernow models which were only available through them previously. Although the hymek has still left me scratching my head to be honest! In the video it was stated that Kernow have reworked the chassis on the J94 I am keen to see how these have turned out.
-
Sorry not had time to watch the video as at work but I would guess all these models will be in efe rail packaging suggesting we could have a Heljan and an efe hymek next to each other on the shelf?
-
Yes that did occur to me too it may just be an already announced model it’s just with the speculation about a brand new 66 from Bachmann it just got me thinking.
-
Sawyer models have released a blurred picture on their Facebook page which apparently Bachman have allowed them to use and is linked to the new announcement. It looks like a 66 front fairing or it could be sawyer models having a laugh at our expense! Tuesday we find out!
-
I expect more of what is selling for Hornby at the moment and (fairly) cheap to make so prepare yourselves for more yellow coaches more Lima 66’s in garish liveries more pecketts oh and probably another nhs liveried train somewhere!
