  1. Enjoyable show, good selection of trade & layouts, have attached a picture of a proper Cornish pasty, as the cafe had no idea what a pasty should be, what they were selling could be mistaken for as apple turnover with less sugar ;-)
  2. .Newly refurbished footbridge in Camborne
  3. From a personal view I didn't have any issues with layout height, I'm 5'9" layouts seemed to be running well and there was a good selection of traders from kits and bits , rtr to secondhand overpriced tat!! Would have liked to see more diesel and electric outline, preferably in 7mm though
  4. Kernow models sell a pair of Holman compair compressors in OO scale, commissioned from Bachmann http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/51303/44-500Y-Bachmann-Scenecraft-Holmans-Compressor-Twin-Pack
  5. Back now from an enjoyable day, spent the longest time watching the antics on Denton Brook, which took 4 operators to run, the operating mobile crane with working stabilizing legs was amazing!!! Good selection of layouts and traders too, got sound decoder to fit in my Heljan peak now..
  6. Just need one in O gauge now!!!
  7. Diagonal bracing on shed door going wrong way?? Door must be modelled as if it had fallen off and merely leaning against side if shed!!
  8. The one shot taken on my visit last year!!
  9. watching the Titfield thunderbolt on bbc iplayer ..

    1. irishmail

      Great film, have it on DVD.

  10. Project for somebody, l@@k it's a MK1 ford escort so not railway related, check out the description!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201905335459
  11. Quick pic from Trevithick day in Camborne, 2 of Luton's finest, along with a mini pick-up, once described as the cheapest 2 seater sports car you can buy, and a mini van, all a very rare site on the roads now!!
  12. One reason is Hornby don't fit the sawn off piece of steel bar that lima fitted to their model, fitting a much smaller weight presumably to give more space for decoder ( and cut costs)which drastically reduced traction!!
  13. We are all forgetting about charwelton new town that was being built in the sixties!! Leaving Milton Keynes a small village near Bletchley
  14. A rebuild along the lines of the long gone Belgrave and birstall station may be more realistic for an updated GC , even with the addition of the inevitable industrial estate, but definitely won't be as attractive!! Some compromise will be needed..
  15. Will be interesting to see this in an 80s guise, assuming its not a cycle way!! A excellent layout for watching the trains go by..
  16. Described as Hornby tank wagons, one is 1950s triang, not sure on the provenance of the other, chassis could be bogie from a lima diesel?? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-OO-Gauge-Tanker-Wagons-x-2-L29-/162413488842?hash=item25d0992aca%3Ag%3AKSsAAOSwax5YtdBf&_trkparms=pageci%253A64e711c4-fe12-11e6-8265-74dbd1a03495%257Cparentrq%253A872d175915a0a3589684c8a8ffe505f5%257Ciid%253A24
  17. And now for something completely different (in O gauge).. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/162364339345?_mwBanner=1
  18. Well my model turned up safety at work earlier this week, just need to build the layout for it to run on, in retrospect should have ordered the dcc version, can anyone recommended a decoder?? Not necessarily with sound.. Or is sound decoder available separately
  19. Obviously the wrong trailer for the lima truck!!
  20. Dapol wagons are not cheap!!!Had another look in WHS Camborne and a couple of local Tesco ,no joy..
  21. Unidentified class 87 at Cheddington, not sure of date but I had gone there with my new camera to photograph the 86's before they were withdrawn, didn't see any & later found out the last run was the previous week!!
  22. Nothing in WHSmiff of Camborne, girl behind counter hadn't heard of it!!!
  23. New footbridge installed, busses replacing trains between Truro and Penzance this weekend!!
  24. One for the A4 collector who has every one!! http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-00-Gauge-Never-Was-Locomotive-A4-Sir-James-Bond-007-/391682705560?nav=SEARCH
  25. That old sign is a new one , recently replacing the older faded one in the same style!!
